Sea Creatures with Wicked Wednesday

Hello! I am so excited to bring you my latest ATC for Wicked Wednesday. This week, we are sponsored by a new (to me) digi stamp company called Digistampatelier. These digis are so cool...and many of them are just...haunting. I love them. Our theme this week is "Sea Creaures," and I decided to work with Mermaid and Fish.

Seriously. Love. This. Image. And truth be told, I'm kinda over the whole mermaid thing. I love 'em, but there just seems to be so many out there. But this little beauty takes my breath away. And I loved coloring her. I used my Tombow Recycled pencils, and I went for some unusual colors for her skin, to make her a little bit more "fishy."

I used some Stampendous Mica Flakes and green fibrous paper behind her. I added some foam squares to her so that she would be raised up.

I also sprinkled some assorted embossing powders from Stampendous in the top corner. My paper already had all of those cool, washed out colors, and it worked perfectly with my colored image. I think this is one of my favorite projects that I've made so far this year. There's just something about her...A lot of it has to do with that look in her eyes. Just wait until you see what the rest of the team has come up with. So be sure to visit the Wicked Wednesday Blog to check it all out. 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 ...

I am beyond excited to share my project with you. I made an art journal page, with a....rather altered...version of the fantastic Blossom Beauty image. Can you tel that I had soooooo much fun with her?!? It was a blast to rework her beautiful face and turn half of her into a sugar skull. The flowers are really what inspired me to do it. They are so big and be...
