Bernadette: A Makeover

Greetings! This past weekend, Rick St. Dennis had some fun on his Facebook page, and had his followers answer assorted questions to win some digis. I was a lucky duck that day and won twice! So I couldn't wait to share one of the images I had won with you. One of the images i won was Bernadette. She looks like a very sweet lady...but I just couldn't leave her that way...I turned her into a creepy Queen of Hearts.

I did her all in greys and black, with a bit of red. I was hoping that I could get this card into this week's Smudgy Antics Challenge, but I didn't want to add flowers to the card. And as their challenge goes for this week, that's what I would have needed to do.

But back to the image...I colored her entirely with Copics, which is unusual for me. I thought about giving her dark circles under eyes, but I didn't want to make her ugly...just creepy. I did however give her eyeliner, and I extended her eyelashes a bit.

In truth, she looks a bit more psychotic in real life then she does in my photos, but I do think that she still looks a bit off. Hahaha! I am looking forward to coloring up some of my other new images from Rick St. Dennis. Hopefully I will get to share them with you soon. Thanks for stopping by. Have a fang-tastic day!

Congratulations on you win. You certainly put your prize to good use. That color scheme is perfect for this image.

Mediterranean Dreams Shaker

Hello! Today I have a card that features the Mediterranean Dreams Subscription Kit from White Rose Crafts. This fabulous Subscription Kit brings together sparkling, azure Mediterranean seas, sun-bleached shores and the rich colors of vibrant Mediterranean cultures in a carefully curated kit. I knew I just had to try the Jillibean Soup shaker card and I chose to use one of the stamps (from Kaisercraft) to make my background. I stamped the seashell with Tea Dye Distress Oxide all over the background of the card. Then I applied some Walnut Stain Distress Oxide to my craft mat, spritzed it with some water, and splattered it on to my card base. Last, I inked the edges with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide with a Mini Blending Brush. For my sentiment, I die cut a stitched rectangle from my stash, out of the pearly yellow cardstock that came in the kit and stamped it with "Wish You Were Here" stamp from the same "Summer Splash" stamp set, with StazOn Pigment ink. And ...

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...
