Little Claire's Friday Project

Hello to you all, My share today is a first for me at Little Claire's....

It's the Friday Project

I have decided to show how you can make a background for all the lovely silhouette stamps that are
available from Little Claire

I first started by gathering all I needed

After stamping my image onto my card  with some black Versafine ink I punched a 2 inch circle to use as a mask for the moon,you can place this wherever you like

Using Faded Jeans distress ink and a sponge start inking the card around the image and moon making sure you hold the moon mask firmly, I have left some free of ink where I think the moon is shining.

I have also gone around the top corners with Festive Berries distress ink to give some depth to the image.

 To get the effect of clouds across the moon I have picked some ink up on a cotton bud and simply  wiped it across.

I then put everything together and this is the end result.

 Supplies used
 Stamp-Meadow Girl
Backing Paper DCWV Floral Foliage
Postcard Sentiment Stamp
Versafine Ink
Ranger Distress Ink Faded Jeans and Festive Berries
2 inch circle punch
Cuttlebug embossing folder
Coredinations

Wall Tag No 9

Hello to you all,I have gone for the grunge look for my tag today (Pretty Grunge) it has glitter on. 

I started with a white tag and inked all over with Frayed Burlap, Pumice Stone and some  soot around the edges. I then used Tims clock stencil with Picket Fence distress paint.I stamped the Big Ben and London Bus with black Versafine......The clock has been stamped cut out and attached with sticky buds....The glitter in the corner just finishes it off I think.xxx
