Welcome back to the fourth day of the countdown teasers for the Clearly Besotted February release. Today’s card features both of the sets I used yesterday – Clearly Contained and Clearly Contained Cuts, plus two images from another new set called Clearly Contained Contents.
Despite yesterday’s mishaps with watercolour, I decided to punish myself again and get them out for my final teaser. This card however behaved itself very well and only required one take. And there was no huffing involved!
To create my little row of pots, I took the pot image from Clearly Contained and stamped it onto some Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor cardstock using Versafine Onyx Black Ink as this is a waterproof ink. I created a mask and then stamped one of the succulent images from Clearly Contained Contents above. The other two pots were stamped/masked accordingly.
I took out a whole bunch of Distress Inks and smooshed them down onto my glass media mat. I watercoloured the images, leaving drying time in between layers.
I set this panel aside to dry and worked on my sentiment. As I am so short of birthday cards (can you believe it?!), I went for the birthday sentiment in Tiny Type which I used yesterday! I stamped it onto black cardstock using Versamark Ink and then applied white detail embossing powder before heat setting. This was trimmed with a sentiment label die and I added some foam tape onto the back.
My watercoloured panel was trimmed using a Hero Arts Nesting Rectangle die and popped onto an A2 side folding MFT Grout cardbase with foam sheet behind for dimension. You can’t get this Grout Grey cardstock anymore (boo hoo) but any neutral cardstock would work well. I added the sentiment onto the top and then a few Iridescent Jewels from Lucy’s cards to finish it off.
This is my last teaser for the release, but I will be back with a post tomorrow containing links to all the new sets and a reminder of my cards. For more inspiration with this month’s sets, head over to the Clearly Besotted blog, Michelle and Keren, and don’t forget our fantastic guest designers, Francine, Mindy and Rina. We have loved having them join us this month.
Thank you so much for joining me for the teasers and I will be back with another card for you soon. In the meantime, stay well, stay safe and happy crafting!
