I die cut Clarity Crafts Abstract Layout 1 Aperture die from Sizzix  card and glued onto watercolour card.  I added a watercolour wash to create the grass base layer and left to dry.   I then watercoloured clumps of grass and left to dry again. 

Using a MFT stencil and Salty Ocean Distress ink that was already in my stencil brushes I created the sky and clouds.  I heat dried the panel.  Next step was to stamp the Clarity Crafts images using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink (the cats, birds, border, sentiment and paw prints are from multiple Clarity stamp sets).  

I added a piece of designer paper to a 148mm square card.   I added foam pads to the back of my stamped panel and attached to the card.  I added a few Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops to finish.   Back soon x
