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!

Mediterranean Dreams Shaker

Hello! Today I have a card that features the Mediterranean Dreams Subscription Kit from White Rose Crafts.  This fabulous Subscription Kit brings together sparkling, azure Mediterranean seas, sun-bleached shores and the rich colors of vibrant Mediterranean cultures in a carefully curated kit. I knew I just had to try the Jillibean Soup shaker card and I chose to use one of the stamps (from Kaisercraft) to make my background. I stamped the seashell with Tea Dye Distress Oxide all over the background of the card. Then I applied some Walnut Stain Distress Oxide to my craft mat, spritzed it with some water, and splattered it on to my card base. Last, I inked the edges with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide with a Mini Blending Brush. For my sentiment, I die cut a stitched rectangle from my stash, out of the pearly yellow cardstock that came in the kit and stamped it with "Wish You Were Here" stamp from the same "Summer Splash" stamp set, with StazOn Pigment ink.

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...
