These are not affiliate links just the products I use and where you can find them, too (if they're not retired).

Putting It Together

I got this stamp set a few weeks ago when Kim, of Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, held some online sales for long retired stamp sets she found while Spring cleaning the Krafty Kave. 


 Since I wanted to have stenciled clouds, I stamped on printer paper as well as the water colour paper.


I fussy cut the image on the printer paper to make a mask.


I used Distress ink to watercolour the image.


I then use removable adhesive on the mask and covered the image.


I used a Clarity brush with the cloud stencil brushing up from the stencil on to the paper. Varying the darkness of the ink adds dimension to the clouds and sky. I love making clouds like this.


And the image was done.


I used a pierced die to trim the image panel and added it to a background of Graphic 45 paper. I used a blending tool on the edges of the background paper to give it visual dimension.


Inside, I added a strip of scrap from the background paper and added a sentiment from the set.
