Day 25 of 31 Days Plus a Bombshell New Release!

This is a really exciting day! Not only do I have a fun 31 Days project, but I am also previewing (along with my fellow DT members) new Bombshell Stamps!!! And since I am so excited about these new sets, I am going to start there.
The name of the 2 new sets are Indian Warrior and Indian Princess. These are available in digi form now, but will soon be available in fabulous red rubber!I will be sharing a card using the Indian Princess set.

Isn't she exquisite? I colored her entirely with my Multicultural Pencil set from Crayola. Yes, Crayola. For those of you that frequent my blog, you know how much I adore this set. And I thought it was quite complimentary to this new set. 

I am looking forward to coloring her all different ways. I popped her off of the ovals to really show her off, though I don't think it's too obvious in my photos.

I sprayed the background with some sprays from Tsukineko. Make sure you check out the rest of this set and the Indian Warrior set too! Let's move on to the 31 Days of Halloween!

The latest Wicked Wednesday challenge is "Full Moon." How could I not play along with that??? I have been wanting to use my little House Mouse dressed as a ghost all month...and when I saw this challenge, I knew this fella was perfect for it!

My boo-tiful moon is from a set I had gotten many "moons" ago at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I colored the mouse with colored pencils, and the background (of the mouse) and moon with watercolors. Yeah, all that is Crayola too. I am sensing a theme here.... Yes, I have higher-end art supplies, but Crayola makes me happy! The birch trees, which I am sure you recognize from my Pumpkin Witch card, was done with chalk. Not from Crayola. ;)
So there you have it! 2 more projects and 1 day closer (sniff!) to Halloween. Please be sure to visit the Bombshell Blog to see more with the 2 new, fabulous sets. And also, please visit the rest of the Wicked Bloggers. They are all listed in my side bar. Thanks for stopping by. Have a fang-tastic day!

I love both your creations! The princess is just lovely! And the little ghost mouse running from the full moon is just adorable. I love Crayola too - you should use whatever you love to create with! It looks fabulous. I know sometimes the less expensive supplies do just as well or better than the super pricey ones – I use whatever I think will work for me!

Your Indian Princess is just stunning. I love everything about her. Isn't it nice to have some new Bombshells to play with?

I also like your House Mouse card. You know I loves the mice but the spooky moon you used with this image is a great detail and I love the gray dp mat.

Great job with the Indian Princess. She's gorgeous and colored perfectly. So funny. I have cheap-o colored pencils that I prefer to my more expensive ones.

The second card is sooooo cute. I love that House Mouse Ghost. So cute and fun!

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

Two Huge Valentine’s Day Hops!

I am in not one, but two Valentine’s Day hops! Not bad for someone that doesn’t even like Valentine’s Day… The first is via Smeared & Smudged . It’s time for our monthly Member Blog Hop! The second was started by Taylor Usry . Please bear with me…this post is long because I am sharing 2 projects and the hop lists are huge. Let’s stat with Smeared & Smudged, shall we? My dear friend Alex and I collaborated on the theme for this month’s S&S Member Hop. Instead of making it a free-for –all, we decided to challenge our members a little…create something Valentine’s Day / love themed, but there is a catch.  Because we are Smeared and Smudged you can not use any of the following: No hearts No red or pink Nothing ‘cute’ unless you make it uncute of course :) Ok, so it’s not dark and scary…but it’s definitely not cute either. I used my colored pencils for the focal image.  It’s from Smeared Ink’s Smitten collection. The “pretty fly” is from the teir teen Style Sa
