Jack O' Lantern: Day 25 of 31

Greetings! Today, I broke out an old favorite. It's a BIG Jack O' Lantern stamp from Tattered Angels. The set is one of my favorite Halloween sets that I have. The images are all big, craggy, and awesome.

This card is 6 1/2" x 5" so you can get a feel for how big the stamp is. I inked it up with Spiced Chai StazOn ink and then I colored it with my Zig Clean Color markers.

I inked the edge with Rich Cocoa Memento ink, and used the same color, in marker form, to add my Inkadinkado sentiment. My background was super simple to make. I just used the Cappuccino Delight Kaleidacolor, rolled out with my brayer, a few spritzes of Ink Potion No. 9, plus a couple of sprays of Sheer Shimmer Frost.

I'm running low on time because I have finally started working on my daughter's costume. And I need to get that finished so that I can start my son's. So making a fairly quick card like this was pretty important. I think drying time took the longest, and that can be sped up with a heat gun. Thanks for visiting today! Please be sure to check out the rest of the Wicked Bloggers that are all listed in my side bar. Thanks for stopping by. Have a creeptastic 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
