Clarity Stamp Challenge: Anything Goes

For this Clarity Stamp Challenge, I decided to use one of my favourite stamps with along with one of my favourite techniques.

I've used Clarity's Windmill stamp in loads of projects and it usually ends up in a blue colour way, it is so reminiscent of the images on Delft pottery.  This time I went all-in with the Delft theme and made a tile.

The other stamps used for the tile was a clever corner stamp and a bloom from the windmill clear stamp kit. Archival ink in a royal blue colour was used for the stamping which was done directly onto a 10 x 10cm piece of mountboard.

The windmill was masked with sticky notes and blue dye ink (Adirondack, Denim) added using a stencil brush underneath the image.  A watercolour brush was used to add a little colour to the main image, again using the blue dye ink. 

A brush marker in a beige colour, was run around the edge of the mountboard. 

Once the stamping was complete and any added colour was dry, a thick layer of clear Distress Crackle Paint was applied and left to one side for a few hours.  

Once completely dry and crackled, clear embossing powder was triple embossed over the top.
