Anything Boy Challenge: Dilly Beans

Happy Friday! It's been a crazy week here in NY again....We got nailed with snow, more power outages, a gas shortage and only 1 day of school this week. I can't even imagine what Winter is going to be like! On the bright side, I have a new Dilly Beans Challenge to share with you today! This week, our challenge is Anything Boy. I love this challenge, because I find that often, projects are made more for girls than boys. It's time to show the dudes some crafty love!

I used Martin (#376) for my card today. I just love him! I had so much fun coloring him, and I love his clothes.

I colored him with a bunch of watercolor markers and Copics. I really enjoyed doing his skin....those greens make me happy.

I used a bunch of paper scraps, and Distress Stickles for faux staples. And a couple of cool swirls. My "No. 1" is from Fiskars. All in all, I think it's a funky boyish card. 'm sure my Phoenix will want it fr himself. :) Please go over to the Dilly Beans Challenge Blog to see what the rest of the DT has created. Thanks for stopping by. Have a fang-tastic day!

I wouldn't have recognized this image as a Dilly Bean if you hadn't showcased it. I'm loving it though and I think any boy would love it too.

Echo Park Blog Hop with Imagine

Greetings! This is my second post for the day. This one is not part of the 31 Days of Halloween, but rather a super-duper blog hop that the Artists in Residence for Imagine are doing with Echo Park . So if you're here for my Day 7 project, please check out the post HERE . But before you do that, scroll on to check out this one. There are prizes up for grabs, so be sure to check out the Imagine Blog as well as the Echo Park Blogs for details. I created my background by applying Dandelion and Tangelo Memento Ink to my brayer. Then I sprayed it with Ink Potion No. 9 to help the colors blend and to act as an extender to keep the inks wet longer. After I rolled the colors out on to watercolor paper and let it dry, I stamped the lovely doily-like image from Echo Park's Simply Sweet Stamp Set with Grape Jelly Memento. I also received the super pretty Heart Doily Designer Die which I used with a true purple cardstock. But it needed something....and in rolls the super fabul...
