SISC #49: I’m so Touchy-Feely!

It’s time for another fang-tastic StampInsanity Challenge! This week, we groovy Gurlz are challenging you to see how many textures can you incorporate. Have any unique ways to texturize? Here’s my card, featuring one of my fave StampInsanity images (I say that a lot don’t I??? What can I say? They all rawk!), Kassandra.

It’s lumpy and bumpy! I textured the heck outta this card. I started off with the big moon. I used a Fiskars Texture Plate that has stars on it. Then I distressed the edges. I pop dotted it on to blue paper that I crumpled up and then sanded down.

Here’s a close up of Kassandra. I used my watercolor markers and pencils on her. I love her outfit. I want it. I just wish the bod still looked like hers! ;)

As you can see, I added to the texture challenge by tying some fibers through eyelets, and adding a few dots of Liquid Pearls. I used a mess of pop dots on the card as well, for even more dimension.

Now it’s time to check out the rest of the Groovy Gurlz! Have an inspiring day!

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 to m

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
