Medusa Card: Day 16 of 31 Days of Halloween

Welcome to another installment of the 31 Days of Halloween! After yesterday’s super long (though pretty rad) post, I’ll be sure to keep this one a wee bit shorter!

Today I bring you my latest card featuring an image from Strange Skin. This is from their Cameo Collection…I give you…Medusa!

Medusa-1

Isn’t she fabulous?  I love the huge snake that forms the cameo itself! I colored the image in using my colored pencils…in only about 4 shades…which is very minimal for me! The papers are from my stash of scraps…Basic Grey and Heidi Grace. I thought the ric-rak was a cool embellishment, since it reminded me a bit of a snake.

Medusa-2

I added some dots of Distress Stickles in Vintage Photo and some swipes of my EK Success watercolor markers around the border of my card.

Medusa-3

  Pssst! I heard through the grapevine that Strange Skin will be releasing some brand spankin’ new images soon! Like real soon. Like within the next couple of days. So be sure to check in with them to see what kind of twisted art the dynamic duo of Pam and Jorge has come up with now!

Pssst again! I also heard that there may just be a hidden image floating around somewhere today! Please visit Terra’s blog for all of the details!

Be sure to visit the rest of the Wicked Bloggers for some more Halloweenie inspired tricks and treats…listed in my sidebar. 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 "
