Bombshell March Sketch Challenge

It’s time for a Bombshell Stamps challenge! I love Kathi’s sketches! She always comes up with something fabulous. This month is no different. It has lots of layers, and I love layers!

And here is my very colorful interpretation!

I was a little unsure of my color choices for the roses at first, but they have really “grown” on me! I am pretty happy with the end result. I used watercolor markers for the focal image and the banner. Both images are from the Mi Amor Bombshell set.

I inked the edge of the pink cardstock with magenta and purple, and I think it looks really pretty. It added some needed dimension to the cardstock. And can I just say that I adore the Liquid Pearls from Ranger. I only have this one color (platinum) but I seriously need to get some more!

See the swirly paper? The swirls are metallic, and really shine when the light hits them. Love that! Be sure to try and play along with the Bombshell Sketch, as well as the other Bombshell challenges. There are prizes up for grabs!!! 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

Deco Art and Andy Skinner Hop

This is a very exciting week for the Stampendous team! We are hanging out with the ultra cool Deco Art Mixed Media team, each using each other's products to share some incredible creations with you. These companies go hand in hand, so using each other's products is easy. And the results are amazing. We are of course featuring Andy Skinner's stamps, who is the DecoArt International Education Coordinator. And yup, there are prizes! But I want you to go to the Stampendous Blog for all of that info. The link is at the bottom of the post. Now, on to my project. I made a cool wall hanging today. I started off with a piece of MDF and I drilled 2 holes, and covered it with DecoArt's white Gesso. After it dried, I used Andy's Alcohol and Media fluid Acrylics Layering Technique. You can check out his how-to video HERE . Needless to say, it's a great technique, and I loved doing it. Once I finished with the aforementioned technique, I sealed the piece w
