Hi there.

Thanks for popping in!

Spent the day with Rosie today, hatching cool new plans, 

and revving up for her TV shows on Thursday.

She’s showing off a set of lovely delicate Claritystamps;

the detail in these is astounding actually.

Floral Figures

I really love to use them in backgrounds.

Let me show you what I mean….

Remember recently we launched a new collection of large outline stamps?

A stag, a toadstool, a bird, trees and a leaf. 

Well, they come with masks, don’t they.

Leaf shape required for this trick! 

Lay the leaf mask down on Theuva Card.

If you haven’t heard of Theuva card, 

it is superb card for stamping on and ink. 

Ink up the round floral shape in Orange Blossom, blot on scrap and plant in the centre of the leaf shape, like so:

Repeat this all over the leaf aperture.

Avoid overlapping and don’t forget to ink blot plot!

Drag the ink on the mask into the opening using a make-up sponge.

Add a little more shade.

Add a little Mellow green Artistry ink along scrap paper for hills.

Mini ink pad set

Remove the mask.

How easy was that?!

Enter the cat, Romeo…

I dabbed him in the Orange Blossom, and then in the Black Archival, to mix up the blend a little.

Same for the little bird.

Now where did I find these stamps?

Any ideas whch set they come from?

That’s right!

The Birdhouse Table Set

Add a little tree for good measure – a very little tree…

Now to add a little colour to the backdrop. 

It looks like fabric.

There we are.

I shall stop there.

Just wanted to show you what I mean by delicate backdrop.

On Thursday, Rosie will show you other very cool ideas.
