Day 20 of 31: Home Sweet Home with Chromatic Craze & Rick St. Dennis

Hello there and welcome to Day 20 of the Smeared & Smudged 31 Days of Halloween. The 20th of every month is a new challenge over at Chromatic Craze, which I am proud to be on the DT for. Haven't heard of us? Well, we are fairly new...but we are also a lot of fun, so perhaps you will want to join in with us! Each month, we will give you a 4 color challenge. You've got to use at least 3 of the colors, and you are allowed to use black, white, skin tones, and a small percentage of other colors. Point is, you've got to make the colors we give you the focus. These are the colors for the month.


I decided to go with an image from Rick St. Dennis for this challenge, figuring that one of his scenes would be just perfect for it.

I used the Ghost Town Church for this tag. You can buy it right now in Rick's brand new Zibbet Shop. I colored the church with Spectrum Noir markers, and painted the background with watercolors.

My tag was painted with a fabulous metallic copper acrylic paint. I then stamped a wood grain image on top with a brown ink. My sentiment was made with a Just Rte alphabet stamper. Some funky fibers that have some of the colors in the palette, and this baby was done. Whatdaya think???


Yesterday, Dog's Mom asked me if I thought of the technique I used on my creepy tree card myself. I wish that I did! But honestly, I found out about it via one of the Technique Sheets that Dreamweaver Stencils has. It's called "Ink Transfers with Memories Mist." You can view all of the Technique Sheets HERE. Thanks for all of your questions through out the month. I am happy to answer them!

So please visit the Chromatic Craze Blog, and maybe even join in with us! We would love to see you there. And be sure to say hello to all of the Wicked Bloggers, all listed in my side bar. Thanks for stopping by. Have a fang-tastic 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 "
