Four Seasons Greetings

I decided to create four different seasons using just one stamp - the November 2022 Clarity Crafts New Design Club offering.

Cut a piece of Clarity stencil card into four and stamp NDC #193 onto each topper in Black Soot Distress Archival ink.

Die cut a mat for each topper using the 3.75" nested squares picot die.

Colour the first topper in Spring colours using Albrecht
Dürer watercolour pencils scribbles onto a mix mat and picked up with a watercolour brush pen (
#170, #168, #128, #123, #199).

Colour the second topper in Summer colours in the same way (#166, #112, #138, #136, #144, #107).

Continue in the same manner using Autumn colours (#186, #190, #183, #283, #184, #179).

Then Winter colours (#223, #179, #143, #151, #247).

Mat up the toppers and add them to the front of an 8" x 8" white card blank.

To finish, add the sentiments from the 3-way overlay Treescape stamps into the centre of each wreath in the same ink as before.
