StampInsanity Challenge #8: Mystic Beauties Release & Easel Card

Another week has flown by! It’s time for a fantastic new release from StampInsanity! Beth has 3 gorgeous new images that are being released today! And they are only available at the Stamp Happens shop!

This week’s challenge is to create an easel card. And of course, the Groovy Gurlz had to use the one of the new Mystic Beauties (no twisting of the arm there! I love ‘em!). To learn how to make an easel card, click HERE for a really easy tutorial. I was a little worried about this at first… More measuring? Yikes! But honestly, it’s super easy to make and looks so cool when it’s done!

This is the Pearl Princess. Isn’t she lovely? This is a straight on view of the card, so you don’t really see that it’s an easel. Here’s a different shot.

Mermaid2

See how it’s standing? Pretty neat right? The sentiment says: “A circle is round, it has no end; that’s how long I’ll be your friend.” Please note, the sentiment is part of a totally different new release that will be available next Thursday! I just wanted to give ya a little sneak peek!

Mermaid3

Here’s a closer look at my Pearl Princess. I love making mermaids green… She’s colored in with my colored pencils and some various Sakura pens. Check out the glitz!

Mermaid4

Her eyes, lips, shells, and pearls are all metallic or glittery. Oh! And her fins are colored with a metallic gold pencil. So now it’s your turn! Come and play with the Groovy Gurlz of StampInsanity! Here’s why:

1. Each time you enter a challenge for the month, you will receive one entry into an end of month drawing for a free digi of your choice. If you use an SIS image, you get another entry. The drawing will be done on the first day of the next month.

2. Then, the top 3 entries each week will receive an “I grooved with the Gurlz” badge to display on their blogs. We'll distribute the badges on the day of the new challenges.

Doesn’t that sound great? Are you inspired yet? Make an easel card and show us what you’ve got!

But, for now, please be sure to stop by the rest of the Groovy Gurlz!!!

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...
