Crows and Cathedral

Hello again! I bring you today a card featuring the Holy City stamps from Smeared Ink. I have said it before, but I’ll say it again… I love this set! It is so unique and beautiful! But let’s just get to the card!

Crows-and-Cathedral-1

I used 2 images here, the crow (repeated several times) and the stunning cathedral. I stamped the cathedral first on a grey patterned paper. Tore around it and inked it in blue. I had this pre-distressed blue cardstock from Basic Grey, which I thought worked perfectly with the look I was going for. Tore the bottom of that. I added both elements to a textured grey cardstock from Prism, and I inked that with black (I love the texture on it!). Last, I stamped all of the crows on, turning them slightly so that they didn’t look exactly the same.

Crows-and-Cathedral-2

I didn’t want a whole lot of fluff, so I kept it very simple. I think that all of the textures and faint patterns added enough to the card without making it fussy. It’s just tranquil and lovely. And, just a little eerie!

Thanks for visiting! Have an inspiring day!!!

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

Remembering Aletha

Greetings, Friends. This post today is part of a very special blog hop. We are celebrating the life of an amazingly talented artist and friend. The crafting community lost Aletha Jane Williams on May 5, 2019. Those of us that worked with her on Design Teams or on Challenge Blogs all agree that she was one of the sweetest and most talented women we knew. We are not here to mourn her loss though. This hop is happening in conjunction with a very special celebration of her life and her art that her husband Bob is holding in her home city of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Please join us in honoring our incredibly creative friend Aletha . My card features the "Remembering Aletha" Sprite, which Mitzi (owner and artist of Aurora Wings ) created specifically for this hop. She is generously giving the digi away to all, over on her blog. This sweet Sprite looks so much like Aletha, and I know she would have been honored. If you download this digi for yourself, please be sure to give a huge "
