Bombshell Stamps February Sketch

I have a new Bombshell Stamps card to share with you today. And I have to be honest…I wasn’t sure if I would ever get it done. Yeah, I know…it’s only February 7th…but I was privy to the sketch for quite a while now (one of the many perks to being on the Design Team!), and I just couldn’t do it. This had to be the hardest sketch challenge for me. Ever. Not really sure why…And, I had to change it up a bit since it just wasn’t working! Hope you like it…

I really like the colors and the way I colored everything. It’s just the layout that has me thinking it’s a bit wonky… Let me show you the original sketch:

untitled

My sizes are off a wee bit with my circles…and I changed the lines in the background. Not too much of an alteration…but it was what I needed to get it done.

 

I colored my Bombshell (Man’s Ruin) with my watercolor markers. The skull on the glass is done in pencil.

These images are from various other Bombshell sets. The skull (colored pencil), is from Man’s ruin…it has a rose in it’s mouth, which I removed. The center image is from Bombshell Angel (watercolor markers) and the rose is from Mi Amor (watercolor markers again).

Kathi, you sure did challenge me this time around! But, I am happy with the end result. I hope you play along with the Bombshell girls too! I’d love to see your version of this sketch. Have an inspiring day!

WOW... For someone who was intimidated by the sketch you did awesome. I love the colors in this and the sheer liquid in the glass. :-)

Alison, this is crazy cool! The images are perfect, the coloring is fab, and the palette brings it all together! Love the images at the bottom. They sort of remind me of lotteria cards, which is awesome! Love it ;D Hugz, Cheryl

Mediterranean Dreams Shaker

Hello! Today I have a card that features the Mediterranean Dreams Subscription Kit from White Rose Crafts.  This fabulous Subscription Kit brings together sparkling, azure Mediterranean seas, sun-bleached shores and the rich colors of vibrant Mediterranean cultures in a carefully curated kit. I knew I just had to try the Jillibean Soup shaker card and I chose to use one of the stamps (from Kaisercraft) to make my background. I stamped the seashell with Tea Dye Distress Oxide all over the background of the card. Then I applied some Walnut Stain Distress Oxide to my craft mat, spritzed it with some water, and splattered it on to my card base. Last, I inked the edges with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide with a Mini Blending Brush. For my sentiment, I die cut a stitched rectangle from my stash, out of the pearly yellow cardstock that came in the kit and stamped it with "Wish You Were Here" stamp from the same "Summer Splash" stamp set, with StazOn Pigment ink. And ...

Echo Park Blog Hop with Imagine

Greetings! This is my second post for the day. This one is not part of the 31 Days of Halloween, but rather a super-duper blog hop that the Artists in Residence for Imagine are doing with Echo Park . So if you're here for my Day 7 project, please check out the post HERE . But before you do that, scroll on to check out this one. There are prizes up for grabs, so be sure to check out the Imagine Blog as well as the Echo Park Blogs for details. I created my background by applying Dandelion and Tangelo Memento Ink to my brayer. Then I sprayed it with Ink Potion No. 9 to help the colors blend and to act as an extender to keep the inks wet longer. After I rolled the colors out on to watercolor paper and let it dry, I stamped the lovely doily-like image from Echo Park's Simply Sweet Stamp Set with Grape Jelly Memento. I also received the super pretty Heart Doily Designer Die  which I used with a true purple cardstock. But it needed something....and in rolls the super fabul...
