A Girly Clarity card

Good morning!
ooh dont I sound chirpy, Im not really, when this goes live I will be running around the house with one leg in my pants, a slice of toast hanging out of my mouth while screeching at Amber to get a move on and feeding the fish with my spare hand as I stagger past-not to mention breakfast for Milly posh paws and the garden bunnies and the regular morning ritual of the 'elusive hair bobbles'....
Anyway, today might be a good day, Im hoping Postman Pat will bring my new super fantastic Camera from Amazon-yeah, decent photos & tutorials are imminent!!
Right I have waffled on for long enough, time for a card!
This is one I did for Creative Cardmaking, Beginners guide to 'Resist'

I used the Corset Montage stamp from Claritystamp and Pink Sherbert & Pitch Black Adirondack ink, Versamark, clear embossing powder.

I decoupaged the Corset.
I like to graduate the colour when doing a resist, it adds more drama I think.
I did have to keep this quite simple for a beginner but I like it just the same.
If you would like to see the instructions for this & the other projects, issue 37 of Creative Cardmaking is still available.

Have a good one.
See you tomorrow for this weeks giveaway!

  3. Loving all the pinks Maria.

    Also loved the black and white box you made on C&C. Had a go and found five sides difficult, probably becasue I don't have a suitable shaped die to get the base. So went for an eight sided one and worked a treat with lots of spellbinders.

    Hope to blog it later and will of course give you a hoot and thanks for the inspiration.
