Gardening: Get Kids Crafty May Blog Hop

Greetings! Welcome to the May Get Kids Crafty Blog Hop! This month, we had our kiddos create projects in the theme of "Gardening." You're in for a real treat. My family loves to garden, and I have a ton of gardening/floral stamps, so my daughter was really excited to pick through what I have and create a card that she gave to my mom for Mother's Day.

Miss R decided to work with the Garden Boots stamp set from Stampendous. She stamped a ton of images on to white paper first with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink from Imagine, then she colored them all with Memento Markers, also from Imagine. They are her absolute favorite markers, and she uses them a lot.

Next, Miss R painstakingly fussy cut all of her colored images and played around with the placement of them. She chose some colored paper, knowing that she wanted to use several layers. She chose to ink her card base up, since she couldn't find the exact shade of green she wanted in paper. She took her time and made sure things were to her liking before gluing it all down.

I really appreciate all of her time and effort that Miss R puts into her cards. She really knows what she wants to do when she's got an idea, and she works really hard at getting it "right." Needless to say, my mom LOVED her Mother's Day card, and Miss R was pretty proud of what she created. She truly loves to be crafty and work with all sorts of supplies. I'm proud of her. Now, if you haven't visited all of the stops on the hop, the full list is below. Please be sure to leave some love for all of the children that played along. Your encouragement means so much to them! I'm looking forward to next month's Get Kids Crafty hop, and I hope you will join us again. Thanks so much 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
