All My Love with ADfD

Hello! I have a fun, new challenge with A Day for Daisies today. For the next 2 weeks, our theme is "All My Love." Plus, there's an inspiration board that you can check out on the ADfD Blog. In combining those 2 items, I came up with this...

I used the precious Unicorn Friend image. I decided to not go with a traditional idea of love between 2 people, but rather that between best friends. I have always wanted to befriend a unicorn (yes, it's true), so this image really spoke to me and really shows true love.

I used watercolors to paint in the image, and I added some irRESISTables Pico Embellisher in Shimmer by Imagine Crafts to the unicorn's horn, and the fairy's wings. I also added a wee bit of gold micro glitter from Stampendous to the unicorn's horn.

I stenciled a bit of the Dreamweaver Stencils' Catherdral Windows Small stencil in the background and I added a sweet sentiment from the Love Always set by Stampendous. Then I used 2 of the new Fitted Frames Dies (set A) also from Stampendous, and I went to town with Washi Tape.

Please be sure to visit the rest of the A Day for Daisies team over on the blog to see what else everyone has created. 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 ...

Two Huge Valentine’s Day Hops!

I am in not one, but two Valentine’s Day hops! Not bad for someone that doesn’t even like Valentine’s Day… The first is via Smeared & Smudged . It’s time for our monthly Member Blog Hop! The second was started by Taylor Usry . Please bear with me…this post is long because I am sharing 2 projects and the hop lists are huge. Let’s stat with Smeared & Smudged, shall we? My dear friend Alex and I collaborated on the theme for this month’s S&S Member Hop. Instead of making it a free-for –all, we decided to challenge our members a little…create something Valentine’s Day / love themed, but there is a catch.  Because we are Smeared and Smudged you can not use any of the following: No hearts No red or pink Nothing ‘cute’ unless you make it uncute of course :) Ok, so it’s not dark and scary…but it’s definitely not cute either. I used my colored pencils for the focal image.  It’s from Smeared Ink’s Smitten collection. The “pretty fly” is from the teir teen...
