Just a few very quick cards using the cling film technique. This is when you take a strip of cling film and smear two colours on the cling film.  Here I used Butterscotch and Lettuce in the red card it was Lettuce and Cranberry Adirondack Ink.  First mask off you Clarity coated card keeping the bits that you want to remain white covered with copy paper...Next making sure the strip of cling film is the same size as the card or a little longer...pick two contrasting colours and smear the lightest one towards you first. then the darker one along the side of the first NOT OVER THE TOP other wise you will end up with a muddy mess.  But if you put the colours side by side. then fold the cling film in half then let the two colours mix when you open the cling film. (This is easier said then done!)  Place gently over the exposed card and press gently letting the two colours mix on the cardstock. Remove cling film and you will have a lovely marbled effect. Leave to dry for a few minuets and just stamp over the top I have heat embossed on two of these and just Pitch black Adirondack on the third hope you like them.
