Clarity Stamps Anything Goes


First time using the Groovi Boards, and I love them! more info here

I used the Carp fish nest and just used the outlines, the bubbles used the circle from the Groovi Plate Mate and the Seaweed lines from Groovi border 1 & 2

Once I was happy with the outlines, I coloured with watercolours

The 6" x 6" Clarity Canvas was coloured with Distress Inks, using the Clarity Seaweed Stencil Darker on one side, the overall look was softened with a baby wipe

Peacock feathers
Broken China
Weathers wood
Pumice stone
Iced spruce
Faded jeans
Walnut stain
Rusty hinge

I tore the edges of the parchment and used a distressing tool and applied to the canvas with tape at the back, need to do a bit more experimenting before applying glue!

  12. Yep - I ordered all right and hopefully the package is on its way! Now when someone tells you they like something and then buy the product(s) they are putting their money where their mouth is!
