Dark Butterfly: Day 6 of 31 Days of Halloween

Hello! It's Day 6 of the 31 Days of Halloween. Today, I've got a card featuring Dark Butterfly from GothArte Tenebris.

Isn't it a fantastic image? I colored it on Canson Mixed Media Paper with Zig Clean Color Markers. I "aged" the paper a bit with Sahara Sand VersaMagic, and Toffee VersaFine ink from Imagine.

I made my background with Andy Skinner's Peeled Paint stamp from the Industrial set by Stampendous. It was stamped several times using the same Toffee ink from the border. Then, to mimic the dripping blood in the image, I used my favorite irRESISTable from Imagine.... Love Letter. This stuff looks exactly like blood, and I am nuts about it. You guys should all try this stuff. You'll be hooked too! I added my image layer on to my Kraft cardstock base with foam squares by Scrapbook Adhesives.

If you haven't already checked out GothArte Tenebris, please visit their FB page to see the amazing images they offer. I'll be sharing some other projects with their imagery this month. For now, please be sure to visit the rest of the Wicked Bloggers, listed below. Thanks for stopping by. Have a fangtastic 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...
