Hello there crafty friends! Welcome to my penultimate countdown teaser for the Clearly Besotted April release. Just one more day to go before the sets are released. Today’s card is very simple, without a critter in sight! The set is called Brighter Days and features the main outline image plus a ton of encouraging sentiments to accompany it. And as with all sets this month, there is a rainbow element mixed in.
So here is today’s card.
This beautiful tranquil image comes ready for you to just stamp and colour. So that is what I did! I also created a mask of the scene at the same time using black ink and Inkadinkado Stamping Mask Paper. I fussy cut the mask and then added it to my panel before blending Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink to create my sky. Next I placed the Sunny Day stencil over the top and using blending brushes, I blended Dried Marigold Distress Ink through it to create my rays. The mask was removed and I coloured the image with Copics.
I popped the panel into the MISTI and selected my sentiment from the set which I stamped uising Versafine Onyx Black Ink. I then took one of the smaller sentiments and stamped that onto black cardstock using Versamark Ink. I applied a little HA White Detail Embossing Powder and heat set before trimming it down and adding into the scene using foam tape. I really love that sentiment, it is just so true, and despite how hard life can be sometimes, without the hard times, you really can’t appreciate all the good.
For more inspiration using the new sets, don’t forget to head over to the Clearly Besotted blog, Michelle, Keren, Kitty and Francine. I’ll be back tomorrow with a final teaser for you. Until tomorrow, have a lovely day!

What a beautiful and serene scene, Lisa! I love how you have added the sun rays behind and that you have coloured the rainbow in yellow tones. So soothing! xx
