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!

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
