Hello and Happy Monday. Thank you for stopping by. I hope you don’t mind, but today, I really just have to play catch up, and spend some time with the family. So I decided to simply post a piece I did a while ago, which I really, really like. Don’t know how I arrived at this screen-print look, but the offset certainly helped. I used a stencil of ours, the Dotty Leaf A5, on an 8″ x 10″ Gelli Plate…
Hello there! I was lying in bed this morning thinking about this new Feminine Stencil again, how to use it with a Gelli Plate, but with inks, how to make it look funky but elegant, and then it occurred to me! Don’t just lie here! Get up and do it!! Decided to use the new Mega Mount, to help me use the Gelli Plate more like a stamp. Wait and see… Also decided to use the other lady today, the…
Good Morning! Sorry I’m running so late! And I have scrambled to get this blog done before it’s time to dash to my parents with Grace for the family afternoon. So what I propose is that I just show you what happens when you rush, and then come back later and tell you all about yesterday. It was amazeballs! I saw a side of London which blew me away. But let‘s just sort out this Saturday’s Blog first! It occurred…

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. Wednesday’s blog is something new, right? So here’s a lovely new Peacock stencil : 7″ x 7″ Lay the stencil on a piece of our 7″ x 7″ Gelli Plate card. Only because it’s the same size! I ran it through an embossing machine, but this is optional. I actually flipped the embossed image, so that the peacock was recessed. Use low-tack stencil tape to hold it in place. Apply a little Pumice Stone…
Hello there! Thanking you for stopping by on YouTube Tuesday here at Clarity. I thought it would be good to let the Gelli Plate have a rest, and get the Gilding Flakes out. This is quick, simle and very effective. Now I know it’s June, and Christmas is many months away, but if you do make your own cards, or you are thinking about going for it this year, then this gilding flake trick on an adhesive sheet is really…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by! It’s Monday, and I’m late again. I had fully intended to have a quick cuppa and get going. However. I have just spent 2 hours cleaning the fridge out instead. Somebody laid the litre bottle of orange juice horizontal, but the lid wasn’t on properly, so when I went to get the milk for my said quick cuppa, oh what joy! Everything – and I mean EVERYTHING was swimming in orange juice. Sticky orange…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Sorry I’m a little late out of the starting blocks today. Just been mopping up after the Pizza & Beer after-party we had at the house yesterday for the Team. My God!! It’s been a busy few days! In case you haven’t heard, both Open Days here in Crowborough went down a storm, and a very happy, creative time was had by all – both the guests and the Clarity crew. It’s quite quiet here…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. What a day we had at the Crowborough Rugby Club! I honestly don’t think it could have gone any better! Thank you so much to all who attended and all who helped make it simply superb. I will blog about the Open Days when I get time to enjoy it later in the week… Dave and I had to shoot up to London to a business do in the evening, and received a Commendation…
