A Batman Reference in Day 3 of 31 Days!

Batman was a great movie. Loved it. The Joker was a sick character. Jack Nicholson rocked that it.  Haven’t seen it in years, but one line always stuck with me… “Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?” Said by none other than The Joker, of course! That line inspired this card.

I just got As Death from Smeared Ink. And it is an awesome set! I know I will be using it a lot! But as soon as I took a good look at this image, that line from Batman came into my mind. I thought it was perfect for it!

If you look closely (you can click on any of my pics to see them bigger!), you’ll notice I also used an image from Holy City (also Smeared Ink!) in the background. I used the same image 2x to make the border.

I colored everything in with chalk to get a soft effect. And a little tattered ribbon attached with staples just for a bit of embellishment.

I didn’t go too crazy with this one… I wanted it to be simple. I hand wrote the sentiment, and lightly inked the edge of the card in Chestnut Roan from Color Box. I thought the image with the senti made enough of a statement!

What do you think? Is it enough???

I hafta say, it’s only Day 3, but I am SO loving this 31 Days of Halloween! All the projects so far have been amazing! Everyone playing is fantastic! And thank you for all the comments. It’s so great to get feedback! Have an inspiring day!!!

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
