My Colors Cardstock: Sky, Seafoam, Deep Indigo

Directions:
1. Stamp the Whale with VersaFine ink on Mixed Media Paper. Color with Zig Markers listed, then fussy cut.

2. Stamp the sentiment on to Mixed Media Paper with VersaFine ink. Color with 031, 032, 041, 049.

3. Die cut the sentiment using the small "L" Fitted Frame.

4. Die cut the large "L" Fitted Frame in Sky cardstock.

5. Create the card base out of Seafoam cardstock cut to 6-1/2" x 10."

6. Make a mat out of Deep Indigo, cut to the size of 4-1/2" x 6."

7. Tape the Amsterdam Flourish stencil to the Deep Indigo mat on the right side. Use the whale as a guide.

8. Tape off the extra portions of the stencil that you do not want stenciled.

9. Using the palette knife, spread Translucent Paste across the stencil. Remove and wash stencil. Let paste dry.

10. Apply VersaMark to bottom of the card, and go up about 1/2" up.

11. Using the Beach Embossing Kit, apply Pacific Blue to the very bottom, then Sky Blue, then Baby Blue, and last, a few sprinkles of Chunky White. Heat set from the bottom.

12. Glue all layers with Zip Dry Glue.

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...
