Gothic Ballerina

Greetings! It's Friday, so I have a new project featuring an image from A Day for Daisies. I used Magical Poppy Dancer to create a gothic card.

I colored her with my Tombow Dual Brush Markers, and then I tore the paper surrounding her. Then I inked the edges with Black Shimmer Delicata Ink from Imagine Crafts.

The background was created with a fabulous embossing folder from Sizzix. After it was embossed, I inked the raised areas with the same Black Shimmer ink. I love how metallic it is.

You can really see it here. I inked my card base with Grape Jelly Memento ink, and I created a little sentiment with some leftover black cardstock. I wrote "danse macabre" with a Signal White Molotow pen. I love these pens. Best white pens I've ever used!!! I crumpled the paper up and inked it with Black Shimmer as well.

I added just a little bit of washi tape that has some spider webs to the upper left corner. The card just needed a little something more. I hope you like my take on this lovely ballerina. Please be sure to visit the rest of the A Day for Daises team over on the Blog. 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
