Welcome to my Blog & Favourite Artwork

So I've finally created my very first blog.  To be honest, I'm a complete newbie at this blogging lark, well at least from the writing side!  Over the past couple of years I've read some fantastic craft blogs written by other people and wondered, could I join the ranks in bloggerland? how hard can it be? ... well, dear reader, we are about to find out!

For my very first blog I'd like to share my favourite card, which I made last year and entered (by email, not being brave enough to try blogging back then!) in one of Claritystamp's monthly challenges:

Using coated Clarity card I brushed on a mixture of Tsukineko Memento inks (Paris Dusk,
Cantaloupe, Teal Zeal, Rhubard Stalk and Gray Flannel) to make a seascape.  Before brushing on the inks I added a sun mask cut from a post-it to form the setting sun and torn paper was used to form the cliffs.  A waterbrush dragged (carefully) through the ink added sunlit clouds to the sky and also formed the shadows defining the cliffs.

The scene was triple mounted on black, white and pale blue card and finished with Claritystamp's Kissing Couple stamp (inked in StazOn Jet Black), and a sentiment stamped using Claritystamp's Woodpress Letters (inked in Memento Tuxedo Black).

Thanks for stopping by.
