WOYWW 144

I haven't been WOYWW ing for a few weeks but I've finally got my act together and here I am ! My desk area is getting smaller each day, as always I have too much on the go at once, but you won't change me now ! If your new to WOYWW then hop over to Julia's blog The Stamping Ground and check out what everyones desk looks like. It's very therapeutic ! 

I've got Perfect Pearls on the go again nothing to show for it at the moment , but practice makes

perfect !

I've also been using the Angelina fibres which I love . I have made my Mothers Day card using two Clarity stamps and a card design Barbara Gray of Clarity Stamps demonstrates in her 4th DVD.

I'm off to a Clarity workshop on Sunday so need to  be getting my homework finished . I'll share that in a couple of weeks . So hope you all have a great week, thanks for visiting

Where does the week go ! So if your new to this get yourself across to Julia's site Stamping Ground and see all the links for What's On Your Workspace Wednesday . It's only my second week and I was thrilled to bits with all the visits and comments I received so thank you .

Well I got my Perfect Pearls Lady card sorted I posted it to my blog if you'd like a peek .
This week my desk is a lil tidy ! I'm now working on a golfing card for a friend which I've stamped with a PaperNation stamp and I'm going to colour it with Watercolour pencils or my distress inks haven't decided yet going to have a play tomorrow .

You can see my beloved Cricut Expression on my desk I intend to have a bit of time to make some masks to brayer my backgrounds through, it just never occurred to me to brayer through a mask ! It's another brayer technique Maria Simms taught us at The Claritystamp Northwest Workshop last Sunday. I had a fab day, learnt loads and met some new friends.
So thats me, have a great week . See you next Wednesday !

Perfect Pearls Lady

Well another two attempts and I'm liking what I'm doing now .

So I gathered together my bits & pieces Clarity Adhesive sheets, Acetate, Archival Black Ink Pad, Clarity Stamps,  My Punched out Circle ( Waxed paper not Post It ),Perfect Pearls ( 3 colours , didnt want to complicate things anymore for myself ) , soft brushes to apply PP & Angelina Fibres Stamped image of my Lady stamp.

Next I peel off the waxed paper off one side of the Adhesive Sheet and stamp my images onto the AS. Now the Acetate goes over the top of the stamped image.Turn the image over the and remove the other piece of waxed paper add the Waxed circle over the  lampshade part of the lamp. This is so that I can keep the glow of the lamp white.

I now add my Perfect Pearls to the image, which is sticky. Iv'e mixed them with the white to give me some paler or softer tones. I coloured her shoes in with a lil of the Gold made paler with the White & did the same to make the flame in the lamp.
Once I was happy with the image I dusted it all off & cleaned the front up with kitchen roll. I then mounted the Angelina fibre lady on top . I'm going to make some more in this style this week end so I really get the technique fixed in my brain ! I have seen Barbara Gray of Clarity Stamp fame do this and just love it. Thank you to all who visit my page and have a great week end
