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.

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!

Mediterranean Dreams Shaker

Hello! Today I have a card that features the Mediterranean Dreams Subscription Kit from White Rose Crafts.  This fabulous Subscription Kit brings together sparkling, azure Mediterranean seas, sun-bleached shores and the rich colors of vibrant Mediterranean cultures in a carefully curated kit. I knew I just had to try the Jillibean Soup shaker card and I chose to use one of the stamps (from Kaisercraft) to make my background. I stamped the seashell with Tea Dye Distress Oxide all over the background of the card. Then I applied some Walnut Stain Distress Oxide to my craft mat, spritzed it with some water, and splattered it on to my card base. Last, I inked the edges with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide with a Mini Blending Brush. For my sentiment, I die cut a stitched rectangle from my stash, out of the pearly yellow cardstock that came in the kit and stamped it with "Wish You Were Here" stamp from the same "Summer Splash" stamp set, with StazOn Pigment ink.

Echo Park Blog Hop with Imagine

Greetings! This is my second post for the day. This one is not part of the 31 Days of Halloween, but rather a super-duper blog hop that the Artists in Residence for Imagine are doing with Echo Park . So if you're here for my Day 7 project, please check out the post HERE . But before you do that, scroll on to check out this one. There are prizes up for grabs, so be sure to check out the Imagine Blog as well as the Echo Park Blogs for details. I created my background by applying Dandelion and Tangelo Memento Ink to my brayer. Then I sprayed it with Ink Potion No. 9 to help the colors blend and to act as an extender to keep the inks wet longer. After I rolled the colors out on to watercolor paper and let it dry, I stamped the lovely doily-like image from Echo Park's Simply Sweet Stamp Set with Grape Jelly Memento. I also received the super pretty Heart Doily Designer Die  which I used with a true purple cardstock. But it needed something....and in rolls the super fabul...
