March Bombshell Sketch Challenge

It’s been a quiet week in Bloggy Land for me this week because I’ve been sick. But, I am feeling much better today, so I wanted to bring you the latest Bombshell Stamps Sketch Challenge.

untitled

I really like this sketch. I used one of my newest Bombshells sets, Sugar Skulls. How I ever got along without it, I don’t know!

It’s super bright and cheery! I love how it turned out…it reminds me of an old quilt. I started off by coloring the Sugar Skull with my EK Success watercolor markers, and then chose the papers after.

It’s hard to tell here, but there is glitter on the plaid paper. I think you can see it better in the next photo. You can click on any of my pictures to see it bigger.

My papers are from DCWV, K & Co., Provo Craft and Bo Bunny. I used Black Soot Distress Ink on pretty much everything. Would you like to play along with this sketch? It’s easy! The sketch will be posted on the Bombshell Blog (it’s already up on the forum) on May 11th. You can add your link to both of those places. Let’s see what you can come up with!

By the way, in case you missed it…I posted my very first challenge as the Bombshell Hump Day Hottie yesterday. Have you seen it yet??? Go take a looksie! Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Great take on the sketch. I love how you took it and made it your own! Great colors, coloring, and diecut embellishments.

Why is glitter so hard to photograph but such fun to use?

Sugar skulls is such a fantastic set. You're going to rock it like the star you are. :D

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...
