Bijou Branches, Twigs & Sprigs - Clarity Make and Take

 This is the card that was actually made at this year's Clarity Make and Takes.  It was wonderful to see so many different interpretations of the card.

Choose a topper and tag from the Barbara’s Spring/Summer Landscape Backdrop Prints Toppers & Tags.

Add a strip of low tack tape to the bottom of both pieces.

Mount one of the branches onto a mega mount. Ink up with brown Archival ink, stamp it on the topper.

Add a bird in the tree in Jet Black Archival ink.

Stamp the grasses along the bottom in green Archival ink. Use first and second generation stamping.

Add additional foliage into the grasses in the same ink.

Add some foliage stamps to the branches in the same green Archival ink.

Add a dragonfly in Jet Black Archival ink.

Add some of the flower heads to your grasses in a colour of your choice using an Archival ink pad (I used Kitsch Flamingo and Picked Raspberry Distress Archival inks).

Choose a sentiment from the Bijou Tall Feel Good Sentiments and stamp in Jet Black Archival ink.

Trim off the bottom (4.75” x 4.75”), edge with a black (or colour of your choice) Perga colour pen and add to the front of a 5" x 5" white card blank.

For details of the tag see yesterday's post.
