Birthday Teens Release Day and Day 1 of S&S’s Bloody Valentine Hop

It’s a big day today! Not only is the Simply B Stamps Birthday Teen collection finally getting released for your retail thereputical pleasure, but it’s also Day 1 of the Smeared & Smudged Bloody Valentine Hop. Let’s start with the SBS release, as I can’t wait any longer to show it to you!

It’s Lily Munster! It’s Betty as Lily Munster! Call her whatever you want, she’s awesome!!!I love, love, love everything about this image. Coloring her was a blast! And have I mentioned how I want to own that dress for myself?!

This photo shows the colors closer to what they are in real life. You can see I used my dynamic duo of markers (watercolors and Copics), along with a bit of chalk for the edges.  I also used chalk (and Martha Stewart cupcake stencils) for my background.

I broke out one of my favorite punches (gotta love spiderwebs…even if I don’t love spiders!), and I used a sentiment from Create with TLC. Don’t you just love her…and really this entire collection? If you’ve missed any of the images, I’ve been previewing them all week, so feel free to check out my older posts.
And now, on to the Bloody Valentine Hop! This is a 3 Day hop, meaning, that for the next 3 days, each of the bloggers in the hop will have a new project! A new, bloody Valentine project! For my first, I started off with an image from Strange Skin. The image is from the Conversation Hearts collection.

I made a bloody, goopy, heart pin! I printed the image on to cardstock, colored it with watercolor markers (using shades of red and a blue), and then I used a shit-ton of Glossy Accents on top. But I made sure to not cover it completely, or evenly. I wanted it a bit drippy.

Look at that delicious shine! I then attached the heart to chipboard and added a pin back. Ready to wear!!!
Now off with you! Off you go (after you leave me some love!). Pop on over to the SBS Blog to see what the rest of the gals dreamed up for Betty Munster. And below is the entire hop list for the S&S Bloody Valentine Hop. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

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 "
