Day 4 of 31 Days of Halloween: Smile You Trickster

Welcome to Day 4 of the Smeared & Smudged 31 Days of Halloween! I'm doing a cheery Halloween card...which is really not my forte. But I think this card is...gosh, am I going to say it??? Cah-ute! Woah! That was tough. Check it out...


This is one of the newest images from Dilly Beans. I thought it was cool...and that other "C" word too. But shhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! Don't tell anyone I said that! It might ruin my reputation!


I used watercolor markers and Copics for this. My daughter recommended I do the lollipop in a rainbow of colors.  I really loved this image. It's quirky and fabulous.


My punches are from EK Success and Martha Stewart. My sentiment is from Inkadinkado, and has been embossed with a super cool Plum Pearls embossing powder. Check out the shine...


I thought the chevron patterned paper was a lot of fun, and made this an even more playful card. It's fun to push your self out of your typical style, isn't it? I had a lot of fun making this card. I was going to post it later in the month, but I kinda got too excited about it.
Now, off you go! Get on hopping! Please check out all of the Wicked Bloggers, who are all listed on my side bar. Thank  you so much for stopping by. Have an creep-tastic day!

I'm telling EVERYONE you are making cutsy cards and doing it really well too. The colors are so bright but they work so well and your daughter is spot on with the lollipop. That rainbow is awesome.

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
