Arabesque and Moroccan Mesh

Hello! This week,the Stampendous DT is sharing projects that use the new Moroccan Tile 6x6 stamp. Well, I had realized that I hadn't shared a card I had made with the Moroccan Mesh stencil that came out in January, so I thought it was a good time to share that with you.
Supplies:
Stampendous:
W197: Arabesque Stamp
FMS4084: Moroccan Mesh Stencil
EP222: Carnelian Pearlustre Embossing Powder
SSC1272: Brushed Wishes Perfectly Clear Stamp Set
DWNHB-9: 3/8" Stencil Brush
MPW811: Mixed Media White Paper

Other:
Neenah: Desert Storm Cardstock
Imagine: VersaMark Ink, VersaMagic in Turquoise Gem, Memento Ink in Potter's Clay, Tear It! Tape
Scrapbook Adhesives: EZ Dot, White Foam Squares
Teal Satin Ribbon

Directions:
1. On a piece of 5 1/4" x 3 3/4" Mixed Media White paper, tape down the Moroccan Mesh Stencil.

2. Using the Stencil Brush, apply Turquoise Gem VersaMagic to the entire piece. Remove Stencil.

3. On another piece of Mixed Media White Paper, stamp the Arabesque image with VersaMark Ink.

4. Sprinkle Carnelian Embossing Powder on top of the stamped image, shake off excess, and heat set.

5. Cut around the shape of the Arabesque stamp.

6. Create the card base out of Neenah Desert Storm cardstock, cut to the size of 4 1/4 x 11."

7. Adhere a piece of turquoise satin ribbon to the bottom of the stenciled layer using Tear It! Tape.

8. Stamp the brushed "Hello" stamp on to a small piece Mixed Media White Paper using Potter's Clay Memento ink.

9. On the card base, apply VersaMark ink to the 2 vertical sides.

10. Sprinkle Carnelian Embossing Powder on to the sides, shake off excess and heat set.

11. Apply white foam squares to the bottom of the Arabesque image and adhere to the stenciled layer.

12. Attach stenciled layer to the card base with EZ Dots.

This is a pretty quick card to pull together, and the color possibilities are endless. It would be fun to make a stationary set as a gift with each card featuring a different stenciled color. I may need to do that myself! Please be sure to visit the Stampendous Blog to see what the rest of the team is sharing today. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring 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 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

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 Style Sa
