SISC #59 Fancy Folds

It’s Ward 2’s turn over at the Asylum of StampInsanity! This week we are challenging you to create a Fancy Fold card! I created what was supposed to be a swing Card…but somehow I royally f’ed it up! So, it still sorta swings…but it stands too. I’ll just let you take a look!

Here it is, standing on it’s own. Which, I think is nifty…especially since it looks like it’s levitating! Which totally works with the image I put on the other side!!! The Naughty or Nice senti is of course from a Holiday set…but I think it works rather well here!

I used Lilith for the other side. I just ADORE this image. She is just SO cool! And see? She’s floating! I had thought about adding some 3D stuff to the “inside” of the card…but then it wouldn’t lay right when it was flipped. So I opted to keep it simple.

I wanna be as cool as Lilith! She’s so pretty and mysterious! And check out her eyes! They are so rad! I colored her in with my watercolor markers from EK Success. If you click on this (or any other) picture, you can see it bigger. And then, you can really see the shading in her hair. It’s kinda hard to see when it’s small.

So even though I goofed on the fold of the card, I still really like it. It’s a little creepy and mysterious. Wonder what the rest of the Groovy Gurlz are up to? Then go check out their creations! 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
