Candle Wish

Greetings! Today I am sharing a birthday card using the Candle Wish stamp from Stampendous. I like this stamp because it is quick to color, but has a big impact on a card so you don't need to do too much more to it to finish your card. My full instructions are below.

Supplies:
Stampendous:
W203: Candle Wish
MPW811: Mixed Media White Paper
DCP1006: Fitted Frames Set B

Other:
My Colors Cardstock: Yellow Corn, Poolside
Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers: 021, 023, 25, 029, 030, 031, 041, 050, 070, 080, 302
Imagine: VersaFine Clair Ink in Nocturne

Directions:
1. Stamp the image on to Mixed Media Paper with Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink.

2. Color the candles using the marker colors listed.

3. Cut loosely around the colored in image to leave a bit of a border.

4. Die cut a mat of Yellow Corn cardstock using the Small "P" Fitted Frame.

5. Cut a mat of Mixed Media White Paper, to the size of 4 3/4" x 5."

6. Create the card base out of Poolside cardstock, cut to the size of 4 1/4" x 11."

7. Adhere all layers.


Easy peasy, right? I'd love to try adding little flames to the candles next time. I think that would look great. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

February Smeared & Smudged Sketch Challenge

The new Smeared & Smudged challenges are up and ready for you to participate in! I got instantly inspired by Kelli’s card sketch for the month, as I have been working with different ideas for my next “Tarot Card.” Haha! That’s actually pretty funny! If you’ve been checking in over the past couple of weeks, you may have seen my Misty Benson Tarot Set 1 ( Smeared Ink ) cards. I’ve used The World and The Fool so far. Today, I bring you Death. Don’t worry…it’s actually a joyful image…one that I intend to use a lot! First, here’s the sketch. I flipped it and changed the ribbon and embellishment a bit. Can I just start off by saying that it is quite nerve wracking to slice your image??? I have done it a few times in the past, but I always get butterflies when I attempt it again. I colored the image and the card itself using nothing but Distress Inks and my Cut-n-Dry Nibs. My skull button at the top has been colored with Alcohol Inks.   The colors look a little off ...

Two Huge Valentine’s Day Hops!

I am in not one, but two Valentine’s Day hops! Not bad for someone that doesn’t even like Valentine’s Day… The first is via Smeared & Smudged . It’s time for our monthly Member Blog Hop! The second was started by Taylor Usry . Please bear with me…this post is long because I am sharing 2 projects and the hop lists are huge. Let’s stat with Smeared & Smudged, shall we? My dear friend Alex and I collaborated on the theme for this month’s S&S Member Hop. Instead of making it a free-for –all, we decided to challenge our members a little…create something Valentine’s Day / love themed, but there is a catch.  Because we are Smeared and Smudged you can not use any of the following: No hearts No red or pink Nothing ‘cute’ unless you make it uncute of course :) Ok, so it’s not dark and scary…but it’s definitely not cute either. I used my colored pencils for the focal image.  It’s from Smeared Ink’s Smitten collection. The “pretty fly” is from the teir teen...
