January 11 th.
To fulfil my New Years resolution to enter the clarity challenge each month Here is my first card. I wanted to try some folded cards and so I ve been experimenting and really like the size of this card which is smaller than my recent cards which seem to have got larger and larger!
I was given these very pretty papers for Christmas and wanted to use them too. The background of the bird is done on the gelli plate.
Hi Hilary! What a lovely colour combination. Those background papers go so well with your lovely stamped bird and branch. Like the shading! Thank you for entering the Clarity Challenge. good Luck x
