You can check it out HERE. But wait! Before you go, why not take a look at these Playful Pups? I am submitting it to the latest Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, which just happens to be, "It's a Dog's Life." My full instructions are below.

2. Color the image with the Zig Markers listed.

3. Fussy cut the image.

4. Create a mat around the stamped images with Black Velvet cardstocks, cutting the cardstock using the image as a guide and adhere together.

5. Create the card base out of Caribbean  Sea cardstock, cut to the size of 5 1/2" x 8."

6. Apply Distress Oxide Ink to craft mat and spritz with water.

7. Drag Instant Dry photo paper through wet ink. Heat set.

8. Dab photo paper in wet ink again and heat set. Repeat until you achieve the desired look.

9. The chalk finish of the Distress Oxide Ink can rub off of this paper, so you may choose to buff it off with a tissue for a more vibrant look.

10. Trim photo paper down to 5 1/4" x 3 3/4."

11. Glue the dogs to the photo paper.

12. Attach photo paper to card base.

Great coloring.
Love the fussy cutting.
thanks for sharing.
What a WOW piece! I love color and am so impressed with the way you blended it so perfectly here! This is an explosion of color and energy, yet everything looks amazing balanced and is a feast for the eyes. I love the background and how it pairs with your central images so well. I love your bright take on our challenge theme and am so glad you shared your talents with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!

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
