Artful INKables Twilight Challenge 1

How excited am I??? Artful INKables has decided that, in celebration of Eclipse hitting theatres this month, they were going to have a month long set of challenges! And a Blog Hop! Yes!!! Read all of the deets HERE.

The first challenge was to use any of the Twilight Saga book covers as inspiration. Well, being that my fave book in the series is Breaking Dawn, I just had to use that as my inspiration!

AI1

I kept this card a bit more simplistic then what I usually do, but the covers of these books are simplistic, so I wanted to stay true to that.

AI2

I, of course used my Artful INKables stamps to create this card. I stamped the queen, colored her with my pencils, cut her out and pop dotted her. She is sitting atop 2 copies of the harlequin image. One alone wasn’t big enough for what I was trying to do here. So I matched the 2 pieces together as closely as I could and glued them together.

AI3

I wanted to give off the idea of the text written at the bottom of the novel, so I added the “destined” which is from K & Co. I was going to do it on the black, but I thought that it was too low down there. Plus, I didn’t want to be overly literal with my take of the cover.

I can’t wait to see what the next challenge is! There’s a chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate! How great is that???

One a side note, I’d like to invite you back here tomorrow. Many of you are big fans of The Greeting Farm, and the Smeared & Smudged Design Team is having a super special blog hop featuring some of their new “Creeper” digis!!! So please, join me and the rest of the gals bright and early tomorrow! It is going to be SO much fun!!!

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 to m

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
