Butterfly Queen Bracelet

It’s been a few days, but it’s time to get back in the swing of things! I have some exciting posts coming up, including this one! Hope you enjoy one of my latest creations!
You may recall the bracelet I made using Bombshell Stamps in the beginning of December. Click HERE if you missed that post. I got an amazing response from so many people that I knew I needed to make more. So I started off with the following one, and I made it for my dear friend, Alex.

I used the same methods as I did for the first bracelet… Lots of Mod Podge, Staz-On, Distress Inks, and of course…my gorgeous Bombshell stamps!

I thought that the Butterfly Queen set would make an awesome bracelet because There are so many images in this set that are begging for color! I think the butterflies came out so pretty, and there are so many different Distress Ink colors, the options are endless. Here, I went for a light, airy and magical vibe.
 
Of course, I needed some rhinestones to make this baby pop even more. I chose matte stones, so that it would not only keep the bracelet looking old, but they wouldn’t take away from the stamped images.

Here you can see the size of the bracelet against my hand. It’s about 2” wide. I had a blast making this bracelet, and I will certainly be making more using some of my other fabulous sets!!!

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 ...

Two Huge Valentine’s Day Hops!

I am in not one, but two Valentine’s Day hops! Not bad for someone that doesn’t even like Valentine’s Day… The first is via Smeared & Smudged . It’s time for our monthly Member Blog Hop! The second was started by Taylor Usry . Please bear with me…this post is long because I am sharing 2 projects and the hop lists are huge. Let’s stat with Smeared & Smudged, shall we? My dear friend Alex and I collaborated on the theme for this month’s S&S Member Hop. Instead of making it a free-for –all, we decided to challenge our members a little…create something Valentine’s Day / love themed, but there is a catch.  Because we are Smeared and Smudged you can not use any of the following: No hearts No red or pink Nothing ‘cute’ unless you make it uncute of course :) Ok, so it’s not dark and scary…but it’s definitely not cute either. I used my colored pencils for the focal image.  It’s from Smeared Ink’s Smitten collection. The “pretty fly” is from the teir teen...
