StampInsanity Challenge #4: Stair Step Card

Greetings my fellow paper fanatics! It is time for another fabulous StampInsanity Challenge! This week, we were challenged to create a stair step card (something I never did before), while using one (or more) of Beth’s fabulous images. Learn how to make one of these yourself HERE. Check out my card!

There’s a lot going on here so please click on the image(s) to see it bigger! This was a lot of fun. And my husband was super impressed with it so that’s a bonus!

Tri-Fold-2

I used a whole lot of products, once again. I love being able to do that! I don’t really like sticking with one or two companies for a project. I love to mix it up! In this picture you’ll see that I used punches, embossing folders, Glimmer Mists, Alcohol Inks, ribbon and tags. Whew! That’s a whole lotta stuff! The sentiment is also from StampInsanity.

Here is a close up of Joszette. I colored her with my Spectracolor colored pencils. I think she is so cool! She’s so chill just sittin’ up on top of my card ain’t she?

Here’s another view of all the stuff I piled on to this card. I have to say, I was a bit apprehensive at first, since I hadn’t made a card like this before. But I am so happy with how it turned out! I will totally be making more of these cards! I’m so happy that we Groovy Gurlz are a part of such cool and unique challenges!

Hey! Did you know that StampInsanity is sponsoring the Friends Having Fun Blog as well as Smeared and Smudged??? I really hope you are a member of both! If not, please join, and then you can have a shot of winning some kick ass digis from Beth herself!

Now go check out the rest of the Groovy Gurlz! You are sure to be inspired! And then, join in on the challenge! Join the Insanity!

Echo Park Blog Hop with Imagine

Greetings! This is my second post for the day. This one is not part of the 31 Days of Halloween, but rather a super-duper blog hop that the Artists in Residence for Imagine are doing with Echo Park . So if you're here for my Day 7 project, please check out the post HERE . But before you do that, scroll on to check out this one. There are prizes up for grabs, so be sure to check out the Imagine Blog as well as the Echo Park Blogs for details. I created my background by applying Dandelion and Tangelo Memento Ink to my brayer. Then I sprayed it with Ink Potion No. 9 to help the colors blend and to act as an extender to keep the inks wet longer. After I rolled the colors out on to watercolor paper and let it dry, I stamped the lovely doily-like image from Echo Park's Simply Sweet Stamp Set with Grape Jelly Memento. I also received the super pretty Heart Doily Designer Die  which I used with a true purple cardstock. But it needed something....and in rolls the super fabul...
