Welcome to Clearly Besotted April 2021 Release Day! The sets will be available to purchase as of 8pm GMT tonight over at Clearly Besotted, Simon Says Stamp and ArtCreatiu. But before then, I have one last teaser to share with you. Today’s final card showcases the Freshwater Friends set. Another super sweet set, with a beautiful scene image and accompany critters to add to it.
I definitely gave my Copics and inks a workout this month as there was lots of colouring and ink blending going on! I began my scene by stamping the main image from the set and also creating a mask for it. Before blending my sky, I adhered the Freshly Cut stencil and the image mask to my panel. I used blending brushes to apply a soft cover of MFT Summer Splash Ink for my sky before adding the Cloudy Day stencil and applying the same ink over that to create my clouds. This actually ended up darker than I wanted the sky to be so I would pick a lighter ink next time. I then blended Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron Distress Inks below the sky.
I removed all stencils and masks and coloured the image with Copics. I also stamped the little unicorn onto some Neenah and used the same colours to colour her as I used in the main image so it tied it together. I fussy cut her out and added some foam tape to the back
I adhered the coloured panel to a top folding card base and then took another white panel and die cut a SSS Stitched Circle from it. That was added over the top with double sided tape. My unicorn was then added on top of that and I created a sentiment from the set which I also popped up with foam tape.
So that brings me to the end of my teasers. I hope that you have enjoyed seeing them! Before you go, here is a reminder of all my cards.
Don’t forget to head over to the Clearly Besotted blog, Keren, Michelle, Francine and Kitty to see their last cards for this month. Thank you as always for joining me this week, I appreciate all your kind comments and visits. See you soon and stay safe!
