February Inky Calendar Page

 I let the background do most of the talking for my February inky Clarity calendar page as I had a really cool copy paper inky mop up sheet that I found.

June 2025 Calendar Page

I had a play with some of my latest purchases from Clarity Crafts to create my calendar page for June.

In The Pink: A Tag

 The current prompt over on Tag Tuesday is In the Pink.  I thought this one qualified.

I started by adding a blending mat copy paper mop up sheet to a #8 manilla tag. 

I then blended Blaze ink through the Garden Heart stencil, moving the stencil around until the whole of the tag was covered.

Next, I stamped the heart in Terracotta and the verse which comes with it in Dark Garnet Artistry ink. 

The heart background was painted in Blaze ink and a water brush.  I picked out the birds from the stencilled background, drawing around them with a fine liner and painted them in same way.

I love how the stencil complements the stamp set.

Seahorse Tag

I do like working on a tag for a mini project.  This is my latest one, using one of the early Clarity New Design Club stencils.

Tongue in Cheek Farm Animal Tag

The current prompt over on Tag Tuesday is Farm Animals - I thought this tag would fit the bill.

You're the Best: A Thank You Tag

The current prompt over on Tag Tuesday is Words/ Sentiments.  The Word Chain stamps from Clarity Crafts come in two sizes and for many occasions.  This tag could be used to accompany a thank you or congratulatory gift.

I started by adding a piece of blending mat mop up copy paper to a #8 manilla tag and trimming it to fit.

Next, I brushed Dry Weed and Golden Turmeric Artistry ink through the Clarity Leafy Swirls stencil to add some soft background detail.

'You're so kind' from mini word chains 19 & 20 was added in Peat Moss archival ink.

Followed by the smaller of the Clarity Leafy Swirls stamps in the same ink.

The same image was stamped twice more, but this time in Chrome Yellow Archival ink.

To finish,  I added the butterfly from the same stamp set in Chrome Yellow Archival ink.

I love the tone on tone effect and have plenty more inky mop up sheets to use as the base of further gift tags.

 

Quarantine Quickie #33 & #34: Kettle of Fish / Muscle Man

More tag journal fun and a couple more pages of my Quarantine Quickies following the prompts on Mission Inspiration.  My book ring is getting full and I will have to start a second one soon.
