Day 17 of 31 Days and Day 1 of 12 Days???

Yup, you read that title right! I am about to get super confused! I hope that you don’t. Ok. So, as you know I am doing the Smeared & Smudged 31 Days of Halloween. Well, Simply Betty Stamps is starting the 12 Days of Halloween today! I’ll be honest, I don’t think I will be able to do all 12 Days for SBS, but I am doing a bunch. You can get all of the deets on the SBS “Days of” on the SBS Blog.

The S&S 31 Days doesn’t require specific projects, but the SBS 12 Days does. Here’s today’s challenge.

On the first day of Halloween

My true love gave to me

An owl in a rotten oak tree

Not too bad, right? They will get tougher! But here’s what I made for today. See if you can spot the SBS image.

This entire card was made by using Distress Inks…except for that sweet little kitty! And that, my friends, is the SBS image! That little cutie comes with Witchy Wednesday, so if you like the cat, be sure to snag that stamp!

This was a fun card, because I got nice and inky. I stamped the owl first, then the tree, then I started to smudge all of the background colors. Adding the kitty last, which was cut out from a separate piece of paper.

I hope you will try to play along with the Simply Betty Stamps 12 Days of Halloween. And I hope that you will hop along to the rest of the Wicked Bloggers, listed in my sidebar. Thank you for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

I may need a refresher in Distress Inks as I saw all of the discussion today - haven't used them much but you all seem addicted and this card shows me why. Just lovely colors and technique!

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
