Mad Bo Peep and an Announcement

Greetings and salutations! ‘Tis Friday again (yay!) and that means it’s time for another Smeared Ink creation. Today I bring you Bo Peep. But she’s mad. At you. I don’t know what you did to her….but this chick is not happy! You should really apologize!

Look at her. Poor Bo Peep. Did you steal her sheep???

I colored Ms. Peep in with my watercolor markers. She is of course from the Killer Bo Peep’s Build a Garden set. The sentiment is from Li’l Grumpies. The fabulous fence is a Martha Stewart punch, which I highlighted with sliver marker.

I kept it simple for this card. Straight to the point. So really, whatever you did to her…just fix it. Those things hanging from her cane make me nervous.

On a different topic…I am thrilled to announce that I am now one of The Burtonesque Dolls!!! I was asked by Betty Boo herself the other night! And not only that, but my awesome-tastic sister Pam is too! You know Pam because she is one of the owners/artists of Strange Skin. But now, we get to play together with the rest of the Dolls!!! I cannot tell you how thrilled I am. Aaaaannndddd…Strange Skin will be hosting the next challenge! So please be on the lookout for that! Thanks so much for stopping by. 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
