Clematis Birthday Wishes

I love this second set of Floral stamps designed by Linda Williams for Clarity Crafts.  Here I used the Clematis to make a pretty birthday card.

Stamp the Clematis cluster from the A6 Linda Williams’ Florals set onto a small sheet of Clarity stencil card in Antique Linen Distress Oxide.

Trim to 3” x 3” and colour with Derwent Colour Inktense pencils picked up off a mix mat with a water colour brush pen.

Mat onto Rainbow River, then Shenandoah companion papers, trimming each mat to leave a narrow border.

Die cut a topper from Clarity stencil card using the 5” nested square die. Stick the floral topper into the centre.

Add the third smallest nested square embedder to the topper and go round the outside from the back with a #2 Groovi embossing tool. Remove the embedder.

Mat up as before.

Add to the front of a 7” x 7” white card blank.

To finish, add one of the sentiments below the smaller topper in Mulberry Archival ink.
