Steampunk Valentines: Hearts a Flutter Christian

Hello! I am back with another image from the new Simply B Stamps release: Teen Scene Steampunk Valentines. Today we are previewing Christian (the whole set will be available for purchase on Friday). As always, I love Christian. The images of him are often some of my faves in the SBS sets.

Look at the cool flying heart he built! Doesn’t he look proud? I colored him with black hair for the first time, and I like how it came out.

I used a mix of watercolor markers and Copics (I know, I know…some of you are probably gasping at me using watercolor markers with solvent markers all the time!). I also used a clock screen by Tim Holtz. Up the side of the image I stamped “achieve endless possibilities” from Inkadinkado.

Are you enjoying the previews so far? I will have another one for you tomorrow. That card combines two of the new images. But for now, please hop over to the SBS Blog to see what the rest of the DT has created for your viewing pleasure. 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 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
