WOYWW 623: One Week to the Anniversary

Another week, another Wednesday and another WOYWW contribution (please visit Stamping Ground where Julia will enlighten you about it).  Only one week until the 12th anniversary.

My desk looks as it does every morning.  Ready for the #drawingaday in my sketchbook.  I do sometimes do a pencil sketch the day before if I am going to be busy before work, but the inking is always done on the day itself.

Here is the latest week's worth.

As you can see, Eva was on the other side of the desk yesterday morning.  Still wearing a mask with door and window open.  By next week we will both be post second vaccination and masks will no longer be required in schools.  I did pass on everyone's best wishes after her last visit.  I'll be round to visit as always later today or tomorrow morning.  Can't wait to find out who my PIF will be next week.  I just need to get a postcard now.  Stay safe and happy WOYWW. 

Butterfly Panel Birthday Card

For my second sample made with the Claritystamp Offer of the Week, I used the individual foliage stamps rather than the wreath to make this panel card for a birthday.

Butterfly Wreath in Black and SIlver

The offer of the week on the Clarity site this week is this new set of Butterfly Wreath stamps.  Clarity followers will recognise the design as it is already available as a very popular Groovi plate - in fact the first one I bought after the starter set.  Here is my first sample made with the stamps.

Fusible Fibre Flowers on a Grunge Background

I love the new Grunge stamp sets from Clarity.  Here I used the Calm set and added some fusible fibres as a splash of colour.

Splash Some Colour: A Bright Card

The Clarity backdrop stamps provide the perfect background for any image.  This time I used one of the Cherry Green's Butterflies Montage Elements sets, but without using the butterfly image.

Feathered Friends Scene within an Aperture Die

I created a small aperture in one of the Mixed Media dies to stamp a waterside scene using some of the new Feathered Friends Miniatures stamps.  I think it works rather well and hope you do too.

Hugs & Kisses: A Romantic Card

The different backdrop stamps are so versatile and work especially well with Distress Oxides if you want to lift some ink before stamping them.  Here I used one of the heart backdrop stamps to create a romantic card.
