New DICC and "Lei Day"

Hello! Today I am sharing the latest DICC challenge with you, a day late, but hopefully not a buck short! Our newest Design Team member, Trudie, came up with the latest itinerary.

1. Shaped Card (no squares or rectangles)

2- Die cut shapes

3- Punched shapes

4- Bright colours

5- Twine

6- Buttons

7- 2 images

8- One word sentiment

9- Tree

10- Clouds

For my card, I used item #'s 4, 7, 8, 9, and 10. This card also works for the latest Raise the Bar challenge, Lei Day.

I worked with Bombshell Stamps' Hula Girl for this card. I used a number of elements from this set on the card. I colored the items up with ink, Distress Inks, watercolor markers, and Copics.

I love this set because of the little scenes that you can create. And let's face it, that Hula Girl is super cool! Or rather, hot.

I used a mess of foam dots to give the card some dimension. You can see some of the foam peeking out from behind some of the images. I thought that you could really see the dimension from this angle. And speaking of Bombshells, I announced the May Hump Day Hop over on the Bombshell Blog today. Go take a peek! And don't forget to visit the DICC Blog to check out what the rest of the Design Team has cooked up for this latest Itinerary. 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
