Strolling Skeletons: Day 14 of 31

Greetings! It's Day 14 of the 31 Days of Halloween. Today I have a card featuring the Strolling Skeletons Stamp from Stampendous.

I stamped the image with VersaFine ink in Onyx Black. With all of those small details, I couldn't imagine using any other ink for this stamp. I then colored it in with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I kept the palette simple and stuck to greens, oranges, purples, and grays.

I felt that the background was too stark to leave white, so I rubbed on Desert Sand Memento Ink to tone down the white. And I like the effect the ink pad gives to the paper, which is Canson's Mixed Media. I trimmed the image down and rounded the corners.

I made my card base out of Sweet Potato cardstock from My Colors and sprinkled on Spoonful of Midnight around the edge. You've got to heat this from underneath, since there's no embossing medium holding it on temporarily. That's it for me today. This was a pretty quick card, once the coloring was complete.

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

Remembering Aletha

Greetings, Friends. This post today is part of a very special blog hop. We are celebrating the life of an amazingly talented artist and friend. The crafting community lost Aletha Jane Williams on May 5, 2019. Those of us that worked with her on Design Teams or on Challenge Blogs all agree that she was one of the sweetest and most talented women we knew. We are not here to mourn her loss though. This hop is happening in conjunction with a very special celebration of her life and her art that her husband Bob is holding in her home city of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Please join us in honoring our incredibly creative friend Aletha . My card features the "Remembering Aletha" Sprite, which Mitzi (owner and artist of Aurora Wings ) created specifically for this hop. She is generously giving the digi away to all, over on her blog. This sweet Sprite looks so much like Aletha, and I know she would have been honored. If you download this digi for yourself, please be sure to give a huge "
