Folk Art Circle Scene

For this sample using the new Folk Art stamps from Clarity Crafts I used one of the larger Round Road Masks for the background to create a scene.

Add low tack tape across the 4x4 Round Roads Landscape Mask 2, lift all the elements and place them onto a piece of Clarity stencil card. Remove the low tack tape.

Remove the moon mask and gently brush Squeezed Lemonade Distress ink over the aperture from one side only.

Repeat using Antique Linen Distress ink and replace the mask. Remove the sky mask.

Brush Tumbled Glass Distress ink through the sky followed by Broken China around the top edge.

Replace the sky mask then remove and replace the two hill masks, brushing Bundled Sage and Antique Linen through the left-hand hill and using a spot on sponge to drag the colour off the mask. Use the same technique with Shabby Shutters and Antique Linen Distress inks for the right-hand hill.

Add both lanes of the road in Lost Shadow and Hickory Smoke Distress inks, sweeping from the top in the lighter colour and from the bottom in the darker.

Finish inking the final section in Antique Linen and Crushed Olive Distress inks.

Remove the masking, reversing the previous process.

Add a row of houses in Jet Black Archival ink using stamps from the Mega Folk Art stamp set.

Add a couple of cars likewise.

Add some trees on the horizon in the same manner.

Add a fox crossing the road and more trees in the foreground. Finish the scene by adding a couple of people as before. Then die cut the topper using the 4” nested circles die and a mat from black card using the 4.5” nested circle diamonds and dots doodle frame-its frames and panels die.

Mat up the topper and add it to the front of a 6” x 6” white card blank.

To finish, add one of the Folk Art Sentiments in Jet Black Archival ink.
