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!

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...
