April Bombshell Sketch Challenge

Greetings and salutations! Today I am sharing the latest Bombshell Stamps sketch with you. I had a bit of a tough time with the original sketch, so I changed it up a bit. Check it out…

untitled

And here’s my version, using 3 different Bombshell Stamps sets.

It’s not too different. The 5 boxes on the left just weren’t workin’ for me…I couldn’t get the look I wanted. I am pretty pleased with the end result.

I colored my images with my watercolor markers. The sets that I used are Mi Amor (focal image and banner), Man’s Ruin (skull), and Pin Stripes (duh).

My cardstock is from Prism and Prima. It’s tough to see, but on the orange, there is a lime green distressed grid…makes the little touches of green that I used really stand out. If you click on any of the pictures, you can see it bigger.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you create something with this fab sketch too! If you do, you can link yours up on on the Bombshell Blog on April 13th. Show us what you’ve got!!! Have an inspiring day!

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...

Deco Art and Andy Skinner Blog Hop Finale

Hello! It's time for the finale of the DecoArt and Stampendous blog hop. Have you enjoyed yourself this week? I bet you've got some new techniques that you want to try. I know I do! I am super stoked about my project for today. And it solves a dilemma that we've had in my kids' room for a while. What you see above is 2 pieces of PVC. And some fab DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics ! So, what am I doing with PVC, you ask? Well, my mom bought my son a light saber(Darth Vader's) for Christmas, and he wanted to display it, but we weren't really sure where in his room, and how. I wanted something cooler than hooks, and we thought it would be neat to have the light saber vertical, instead of horizontal. Plus, there was a fab spot for it if it hung in that direction. So, my husband came up with the PVC pip idea, and I altered the pieces. The end cap holds the base, and the small piece of pipe holds up near the end. And the 2 pieces are spaced out enough so that...
