Black and White with Dilly Beans

Hello! It's Friday (hooray!), so I have a new Dilly Beans challenge to share with you. This week's theme is Black and White. We have a new rule, starting this week. You MUST use a Dilly Beans image to play along. Full details will be on the Dilly Beans challenge blog. Now...here' my card.

I was a little worried about this challenge, as I really do love to use color. But this was a lot of fun!!! I want to make more projects that are just black and white!

I used one of Megan's fabulous Big Eye Girls for this card. I used only black and 2 shades of gray (from Spectrum Noir) to color her in. Oh. And I used a white pen from Sakura  here and there too.

I used a Crafter's Workshop stencil and a sentiment from Inkadinkado. The rest was just scraps I had laying around. All in all, this card came together very quickly, which I was thrilled about. What do you think of the lack of color? How about playing along with us this week? Just visit the Dilly Beans challenge blog to play, and you will get to see lots more inspiration from the amazing DT. And, in honor of the new "Dilly Beans Only" rule, Megan has decided to have a BOGO sale on all digis Saturday and Sunday. Again, check out the blog for all of the deets.  Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

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
