Funky Potters Preview Day 4: Pansy

Day 4! It's preview Day 4 of Simply Betty Stamps' latest collection, The Funky Potters. Today The Burtonesque Dolls, Simply Betty gals, and I are introducing you to Pansy. Admitedly, I have no idea who she is, but I think this image is super cute!



She's got a caldron filled with books! That is so very Alison! I even dressed her in very Alison colors (by way of my watercolor markers)... teal, hot pink, and purple. Check out her cute little frog!



My sentiment is from StampInsanity. I love this one. It says: "Books can be dangerous. The best ones should be labeled 'this could change your life." -Helen Exley. I used chalk and ink to color the sentiment in.



How much are you loving this preveiw? Does it make you wanna go and read all of those books again? Well, starting on Friday, you can but these fab images for yourself, and then make bookmarks to go into your beloved Harry Potter books!!! Be sure to stop back here, and at The Burtonesque Dolls, and Simply Betty Stamps blog to see more rad creations! Thanks 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 ...

Can you tel that I had soooooo much fun with her?!? It was a blast to rework her beautiful face and turn half of her into a sugar skull. The flowers are really what inspired me to do it. They are so big and be...
