Clarity Challenge Blog - July is Seaside

Have you entered the Claritystamp Challenge Blog yet?  There's a £50 voucher to be won so why not have a go.

Each month we get entries from very talented crafters - well done everyone you never let us down.

This month the theme is Seaside.  For my card I used the clarity Lighthouse stamp which, once stamped with Stazon,I covered with a Versamark pen and clear embossing powder.  With a craft knife I cut around the lighthouse until I could get my Spellbinders die behind it to cut out an aperture.

I then stamped the Clarity Mermaid stamp (just its tail), again in Versamark, and embossed it with Wow Platinum embossing powder.  I also used the same stamp, just the hair of the mermaid this time, to stamp around the aperture with Versamark.  I used blue Panpastel to cover the ink and blended all around the aperture.

I then took several colours of Panpastel to make a sea scene, stamped the Clarity flock of birds, and this was then taped into the inside of the card with double sided tape. A couple of shells and a piece of "pretend" seaweed completed this months offering.

Thank you so much for popping by, catch up with you again very soon.

    Serene!!! Quite simply serene. I want to be there - now! I love misty hazy walks along the beach at sunrise and this evokes some particularly wonderful memories. Thank you - great inspiration!
