Faerie Song Stamp Version 1

Howdy! I received in the mail yesterday a couple of new stamps! They’re from Faerie Song, and the Smeared and Smudged Design Team have been asked to create some fab art with these images. Here is the first card I’ve made:

P1205725

When I first saw this fairy, I couldn’t picture her in pastel colors… I see quite a bit of sass in her, which begged for bright, bold colors! She and her butterfly friend are colored in with my Spectracolor pencils.. I colored her without a whole lot of shading and color gradation. She’s got a bit, but not too much. I wanted her bold and kinda gritty. I wonder what kind of sweets are in that box of hers???

P1205726

Click on any of the photos to see it bigger! I had some awesome paper from the Paper Company that has a fabulous feel to it (almost like a fabric), and the colors are wild! I didn’t do anything to the papers… they were perfect without any help from me!

I added a couple of tiny brads, and inked the edges of the card, and then it was done! How would you like a chance to win some Faerie Song Stamps??? Head on over to the Smeared and Smudged ning Group and find out how! Come play along with us!

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 ...

Can you tel that I had soooooo much fun with her?!? It was a blast to rework her beautiful face and turn half of her into a sugar skull. The flowers are really what inspired me to do it. They are so big and be...
