Citrus Colors with Dilly Beans

Happy Friday! It's time for a new Dilly Beans challenge, and SUMMER VACATION!!!! I am so excited that the kids are officially both done with school for the year! So I'll make this short and sweet so I can go and hang with my kidlings. As I mentioned, this week's challenge is Citrus Colors. I made a tag.

I used Heart Monster 1 #273. I think he is just so cute! I wanted to enter this month's Dreamweaver Stencils challenge again too, so I not only used their Damask stencil, but to fit into their challenge, I used THIS Design Seeds palette (found on Pinterest) as my inspiration.

I colored the Monster with my Spectrum Noir and Copic markers. The background stencils (Stencil Girl and Crafter's Workshop) with Distress Inks, and the Damask stencil with black Embossing Paste (also from Dreamweaver). I used a Care Bears (yes, from the 80's) sentiment, and then I used some eyelash yarn to top off the tag. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Fantastic tag! Love the colors! I would not have thought to use the damask stencil with a cutie pie monster, but it works great! Thanks for playing along again in the Dreamweaver Challenge!

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 ...
