Rejoice in the Beauty of the Body

Kind of a heavy title, huh? You’re probably wondering what this post could possibly be about, right? Well, since it’s my day to feature something using the crazy cool stamps of Smeared Ink, that may just be a good clue!

In this card I used 4 stamps from the Quoth the Raven set. But when I “finished” the card…I felt like it needed a sentiment of some kind. But I had a tough time finding something. Then, as I looked through my Smeared Ink images again, I saw this line in a short poem from the As Death set… “rejoice in the beauty of the body.” Which I thought was totally fitting here!

 

One may not immediately think of the human heart, or the insides of wings to be beautiful…but in fact…they are. The intricacies alone make them beautiful. Add function to the mix, and you have a lovely miracle of life itself. Ok…I’m totally getting too deep here!

Originally I was going to stamp out “You give my heart wings,” as I had for another card I made for my husband last year. I think that’s such a cool senti. But then, when I finally found this, I knew I had to use it. Thanks for looking! 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 "
