Clarity Stamp Challenge for October 2016 - circles and squares

Clarity Stamp Challenge entry for October 2016 Circles and Squares

I've gone out of my comfort zone and done something not symmetrical, also tried some more cutting - not there yet but practice should make perfect one day.  I decided to keep the backing simple, i.e. just onto the card as sometimes with the colour parchment it's difficult to find the right backing.  This reminds me of Wedgwood.  




Thanks for any comments !

Clarity Challenge for July - Days Out

This is my entry for the July Clarity Challenge - Days Out

Not sure where I was going with this once I'd decided to use one of my leftover backgrounds from the Calendar Challenge.   So I used the stencil heart (obvious!) and the abstract stencil to put a few bits of colour around the edge and then the wee folk stamps and the new funky alphabet for the words.   I was tempted to put a squiggle line around the heart but decided against.  I might go back and do that at some stage though!   I felt the heart just needed a bit of a break up around the edge which is where the birds came in !   Put a sharpie edge on and then mounted on green card.

Claritystamp Calendar Challenge July 2016

This is my entry for the Claritystamp Calendar Challenge for July 2016.  I seemed to get a much smaller spottier effect that Barbara's when doing the acetate squishing! Can anyone tell me why that might be, I just didn't seem to get large patches of colour !
