My Heart and Christmas!

It’s Day 13 of the 31 Days of Halloween!  It’s almost halfway over! Already??? So I have a new Halloween project to share, of course, but in addition, I have 2 more previews for the new Simply Betty Stamps Teen Scene Christmas release.

I am super duper stoked about the Halloween project. I have wanted to start doing this literally, during the last 31 Days of Halloween. And I never found time! Well, now I am hooked, and you may just be seeing a ton more of these. So, I hope you like what I’ve done… I give you…My Heart.

What do you think??? I used the heat from Smeared Ink’s Quoth the Raven, and stamped it in clay (the color is called Translucent…which it is. The light goes thought it beautifully!). I baked it, and then colored it with alcohol inks.

The color is more saturated than it looks here, the other 2 photos are much more true to life, but I wanted you to see that all of the detail in the stamp shows.

Of course, having a plain old heart would never do for me…so I broke out my beading supplies and started to play! I even dug up an “A” and a “G” for my husband and…colored them with alcohol ink too (because the white they were wild have been awful here!) . Ooh, this was fun! Thinking I may need to make some for my Etsy shop. Personalized hearts! This is my type of heart…

On to the Simply Betty Stamps preview! 

 

Here’s Miller as Scrooge. I chose to go pretty traditional with the colors (surprise!). My paper is all from DCWV.

I colored Miller in with my watercolor markers. He’s very handsome, even though he looks a bit sad.

My sentiment is from Inkadinkado, and I embossed it with Seafoam White powder from Ranger.

Who doesn’t love snowmen?  I think this is a sweet image! Rio has done such a great job with her wintry friend, right? And look, Edgar has come to say hello!

My sentiment here is from StampInsanity. I thought it worked perfectly with this image.

I added some pops of pink, just for that little bit of unexpected that I always go for. The rest of the SBS gals (and GDT Kelli!) have come up with some great projects. Please visit the SBS Blog to see them all!

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...
