His + Hers = Ours

Hello! I have a card to share with you that I made using Sweet Stamp Shop. Let me start off by saying, no... I am not pregnant. I just made the card because the idea popped into my head and I thought it would be adorable. And kinda funny. I hope you think so too!

I managed to score a couple of fantastic Sweet sets on sale when a few of my faves were being retired. The sets are His and Hers, plus Just Icons. Sorry, no link for Just Icons, as those babies are
G-O-N-E.

I started off by stamping the undies on to Mixed Media paper from Stampendous with Onyx Black Memento ink and coloring the trim with Memento markers. The ink and markers are from Imagine Crafts. Then, I fussy cut them out and I die cut a Fitted Frame to fit the underwear. I glued them down, and stamped the plus and equals sign. I added some London Fog ink to the edge of the die cut.

I put that piece aside and cut a white mat to fit my light blue card base. Then, I sprayed the mat with a couple of colors of Glimmer Mist (pink and blue of course!) and let that dry. If you click on my picture above you'll see some of the shimmer from the sprays. While it was drying, I inked the edge of my card base with more London Fog ink, to match the die cut.

Then I stamped the words and hearts on my mat, which had since dried. I glued everything down, and voila! A cute little baby announcement. Seriously though, it's not for me. 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

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 Style Sa
