StampInsanity Challenge #53: Feeling Edgy?

Feeling edgy? Why yes, as a matter of fact, I am. Having a new puppy is wonderful, but I really feel like I have a newborn running around my house with no diapers on. So, I am a wee (get it?) bit stressed out. But I digress…this week’s StampInsanity challenge is called Feeling Edgy, and you are to use some creative edging techniques, or punches, to create a cool and GROOVY look!

 

I used Roder for this card. I love him. He’s just so darn cool! I can see Phoenix looking like this when he’s a teen. I used a bunch of borders and edges for this card. I broke out the cracked edge Martha Stewart punch (all the way on the left), kept one piece of paper with a simple straight edge, folded a piece and stapled it down and then used a Glimmer Screen from Tattered Angels with some Black Gold Glimmer Mist and chalk. 

I am just realizing now that I didn’t tear or distress any of my edges! How could I forget to do that? It’s one of my favorite techniques! Oh well…I think it looks cool anyway! :) Roder has been colored in with my pencils. Can I just say that I am SO diggin’ his hair and pants? I really like how they look.

Here you can see some of my edges a bit better. This was a really fun challenge, and I hope you decide to play along with us! But first, please visit the rest of the Groovy Gurlz to see their take on this rad challenge!

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...
