StampInsanity #18 Radical Ribbon & Rockin’ Rhinestones!

SISC18-5

Look closely at my supplies for my latest card…do you see a Copic??? Yes! You do! That is the only Copic I own (sniff!). And I needed to use it for this week’s StampInsanity Challenge!

This week, Beth challenges all of us to: “Uncoil your ribbons and shine up those sparklies! What awesome new ways can you come up with to use these embellies?” Sweet! So that pretty ribbon up there? Leftover from my Wedding. Purdy ain’t it??? See the harlequin pattern in it? And the rhinestones??? Well, I just didn’t want to use silver for this challenge…I wanted orange. and I read somewhere that you could color rhinestones with your Copics! So, I busted out the one, lonely Copic that I own and colored my 2 little rhinestones that I used orange. But I’m guessing you wanna see the whole card right???

I got the idea for this card from Jennifer… one of my fellow Groovy Gurlz! Just wait ‘till you see her card! Anyway, I was trying to figure out which image I wanted to color this week…then I saw her card…and I knew I wanted to make one of Beth’s fabulous sentiments the center of attention this week! So, I used my favorite one. Isn’t it lovely? Not only the words, but the fonts too? And, since it’s a digi, I can make it any size I wanted! I blew this one up to 4 inches, then sprayed the heck out of it with Glimmer Mist (Jack O’ Lantern & Walnut Gold).

Here you can really see that beautiful Glimmer! It looks fab with my ribbon, no? I also gave this card a lot of layers, and dimension.

SISC18-4

You can see the pop dots I used in this photo…plus my pretty, hand colored rhinestones!!! And yes, that is a Halloween bowl on my table…I just can’t bear to be completely devoid of Halloween in my house! ;}

SISC18-2

So there you have it! Ribbon and rhinestones! Fabulous! Now it’s your turn! But please be sure to check out the rest of the Groovy Gurlz amazing creations too!!!

Wow! Wow! Wow! I love this card. The sentiment as the focal point is great and I love the treatment of the edges. The ribbon matches perfectly. The copic with the rhinestones is great!
Jennifer said…
I love that sentiment too. (I almost used it.) I'm honored to be your inspiration. I love what you did. I see you went to the dark side. You used a copic. I did too.
Beth said…
Girl, you are awesome! Definitely cannot go wrong being inspired by Jennifer! :) This card is just pure awesomeness - prefect blend of elegant and S&S! :) I completely love everything about it... Coloring rhinestones with Copics?! GENIUS! I'm going to stop buying colored ones and do my own to match! Brilliant! TFS that nugget!! xx

Christmas in July with Imagine Crafts & Stencil Girl!

Hello! Have you heard? The Imagine AIRs have been hopping with Stencil Girl! If you have been here before, you know I loooove me some stencils, so this collaboration was very exciting for me! The teams are hopping for 3 consecutive Saturdays, and this is week 2. I have the entire list of hop links at the bottom of the post. Be sure you don't miss anyone! I decided to to create an extra large gift tag with my new stencils. Using red cardstock, I taped down the Journal Texture #8 Stencil  and inked it up with Golden Glitz Delicata ink . I promise you, this is the BEST gold ink you will ever use! The Journal stamp only has 2 diamonds on it (it's a 4x4" stencil), so after I inked up the first pair, I moved over the stencil, lined it up, and inked again. Next I wanted to do something textural with the Urban Insiders Star . So I took some evergreen cardstock, taped down the star, and slathered on some yummy Iridescent Green Creative Medium . After the medium dried, I ga

Remembering Aletha

Greetings, Friends. This post today is part of a very special blog hop. We are celebrating the life of an amazingly talented artist and friend. The crafting community lost Aletha Jane Williams on May 5, 2019. Those of us that worked with her on Design Teams or on Challenge Blogs all agree that she was one of the sweetest and most talented women we knew. We are not here to mourn her loss though. This hop is happening in conjunction with a very special celebration of her life and her art that her husband Bob is holding in her home city of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Please join us in honoring our incredibly creative friend Aletha . My card features the "Remembering Aletha" Sprite, which Mitzi (owner and artist of Aurora Wings ) created specifically for this hop. She is generously giving the digi away to all, over on her blog. This sweet Sprite looks so much like Aletha, and I know she would have been honored. If you download this digi for yourself, please be sure to give a huge "
