Wales

I used all the worker stamps which come with the Cymru stamp set from Clarity Crafts as well as the lovely frame to create this ode to Wales.

Spritz a piece of Clarity stencil card with Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide sprays. Spritz with water and dry thoroughly.

Stamp the word frame from the Cymru stamp set onto the background in Nocturne Versafine Clair ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.

Mask off the sides of the frame with low tack tape and add the castle into the frame in the same manner.  Remove the masking.

Die cut the frame from the background using the 3” x 4” nested rectangle die. Die cut a mat from black card using the corresponding picot die.

Add the Welsh icons to the rest of the background in Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide.

Add the background to a piece of red card and trim leaving a narrow border all round.

Add the background to the front of an 8” x 8” black card blank.

To finish, mat up the frame topper and add it to the front of the card.
