WOYWW 873/93: Watch This Space

Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks which is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?), the brainchild of Julia, who kindly entrusted it to me to continue after the first 15 years of togetherness.  Please feel free to link up your desk and visit others' - we are a friendly bunch.

Wishing Neet a continuing and steady recovery!

My desk is rather boring as I posted two lots of samples off on Friday and have been making cards that can't be shared here yet.  I did however get round to prepping my #dailyatc2026 backgrounds ready for March.

I have also been keeping up with my knitting and hope to have made a start on the front by next week - March already!

Life has been a bit of a blur over the last week.  I have some exciting news to share but cannot do so for a few weeks as there are things still to be finalised.  The music is continuing to go well - yesterday's rehearsal with the u3a recorder group was great fun.

Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

March Inky Calendar Page

 I always keep my inky and painty copy paper mop up sheets as they make excellent backgrounds.  I found one that reminded me of water to get started on my March inky calendar page in my Clarity calendar blank.

Tulip Mini Make

 I thought that I would combine the February Clarity New Design Club stencil with one of the Tulip Floral Panels stamps as it has a tulip pattern.

Take a Perch

 As well as collecting stamps by Clarity Crafts, I also love the designs from Timestamp Creations.  As they are also manufactured by Clarity, the quality is second to none.  I had a quick play with one of the newer stamp sets 'Take a Perch' and combined them with a background made at last summer's Clarity retreats.

Get Well Card

It is always useful to have a get well card ready to go.  Here I used the February stamps from the Clarity New Design Club with one of the products of the month.

Florals and Birds: Ideas and Inspiration

 There are some fabulous bird and floral stamps from Clarity Crafts.  I thought I would share some ideas and inspiration using various sets.  As usual links to the original projects are below each image.  Starting with the Garden Birds.

Building a scene (see HERE).

Three Layers, Two Magpies and One Telephone Pole

The current prompt over on Try it On Tuesday is Countdown 3-2-1 so here is a card with 3 layers, two magpies and one telephone pole using the magpie stamps from Timestamp Creations!

Add Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Oxides to the Bijou Backdrop stamp with foam tools and add to a small piece of Clarity stencil card. Add the small Magpie stamp from Timestamp Creations onto the background in Jet Black archival ink. Add the second Magpie likewise. Extend the wires to the edge of the background using a ruler and black micron pens.

I didn't realise until this stage that there was no memory card in my camera!  

Die cut a mat from black card using the 3.75" nested square picot die and mat up the topper.

Add a strip of BOW-WOB paper coloured with Distress Oxides across the front of a 5" x 5" white card blank.

Add the topper.

To finish, mask off sections of the Magpie verse, ink up, remove the masking and add 'Two for joy' below the image in the same black ink as before.
