Clarity Make and Takes November 2025

 In case there was anyone who didn't make it to Ditton for the Clarity Open Days, I thought I would share the projects that I prepared for the inky Make and Takes.


Stamp the large star or Christmas Tree from the Wire Christmas Shapes onto the front of a 5” x 5” white card blank in Jet Black Archival ink.


Using the square mask from the Simple Shapes mask set, (or a piece of mask blank 9.5cm x 9.5cm) cover the centre of the card, leaving an equal border on all sides.


Add further stamping round the edge of the card using the same stamp and ink.


Remove the mask.

Colour sections of the stamping, leaving others blank, using Perga Liners (I used B11, B10, B9 and B8 for the star and B6, B7, B11 and B15 for the tree).

To finish, add one of the I am Essential Christmas Sentiments in the same ink as before.


Everyone did a fabulous job.  Here are a couple of the 136 cards that were made over the two days (with permission of the makers).

Thank you so much. Although I get free rail travel, I was not confident about getting to Ditton by public transport (via London) so I am having to give up the Clarity open days. But how super to have your work to try myself. Thanks again.
