Take Two for the May ADfD Club Kit

Greetings! I am sharing a new card featuring one of the lovely new images from A Day for Daises today. She's part of the May Club Kit, and is called Little Dancer Daisy.

I went along with our current challenge theme which is, "Paint it Up!" I used a couple of Copics to color her hair, skin, pants, and flowers, and I water colored her dress. I used a circle cutter to trim her out.

For the water she is dancing in, I sprayed Bahama Blue Fireworks!, Original Goosebumps, and Wedding Dress irRESISTables...all from Imagine Crafts. Then I unscrewed the sprayer from my Denim Memories Mist and drew the water ripples with the straw end after the other layers of spray had dried.

You can see the texture and shine of the "water" in the photo above. Last, I die cut my sentiment, which is from the Stampendous Spring Sentiments set, with a Fitted Frame (also from Stampendous). I used foam squares from Scrapbook Adhesives to pop them up. I'd like to note that the sprays were done on a separate piece of white cardstock, so that my card base didn't curl up. Please be sure to check out the rest of this week's creations from 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 ...

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...
