A Rainbow of Dragonflies

For my second sample using these new stamps from Clarity, I went all out with the dragonflies and used my favourite rainbow colours.

Decide on the layout and add the dragonflies and verse to a 5” x 5” Clarity mount.

Add Carnation Red Archival ink to the largest dragonfly and stamp onto the front of a 6” x 6” white card blank. Remove the stamp from the mount.

Add Monarch Orange and Sun Dazed Archival inks to the next two dragonflies in turn and add them to the card. Remove each stamp after it has been used.

Add small clean stamps to the top of the mount as a counterbalance and add the next two dragonflies in Emerald and Manganese Blue Archival inks – removing after each has been stamped.

Add the final two dragonflies in Cobalt and Majestic Violet Archival inks.

Add a further small stamp as a counterbalance and add the verse in Jet Black Archival ink.

Mask off either side of the card and add one of the branches from set 2 of Branches, Twigs and Sprigs in Jet Black Archival ink.

Add a selection of blossoms from the same set in Magenta Hue Archival ink.

Add further blossoms in Pink Peony Archival ink.

Die cut a frame using the 4.5” and 5” nested square lattice doodle frame-its frames & panels dies from a piece of Indian Summer companion paper.

To finish, add the frame to the front of the card.
