Lifeguard Christian

The Simply B Stamps Team is halfway through our latest preview of the Teen Scene Summer Fun collection! Today we are previewing Lifeguard Christian. I'm sure many gals would be happy if this cutie came to rescue them!

Isn't he great? I had a lot of fun coloring his uniform. And that rad surfboard of his! Ooh, and I tried a new technique for the sand. Do you like it? Here's a closer look.


It's new for me, at least. I am really happy with the "texture" of it. My sentiment if from StampInsanity, I thought it was perfect for Christian!

I added a single red button and some sparkly fibers for a bit more texture. The card is kinda simple, but i didn't want to overpower this great image! Tomorrow the SBS gals will have another image to preview for you. I am quite sure you will like it! Until then, why not pop over to the SBS Blog to see what the gals created with Lifeguard Christian? Thaks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

The coloring is fab. I can never get sand to look that real and the threads on your button look like surf.

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
