Coneflower

Greetings! I wanted to share a card that is very simple to recreate today. It uses only 1 flower stamp and 1 sentiment, plus minimal other supplies.
Supplies:
Stampendous:
CRS5104: Coneflower Cling Stamp Set
DS5104: Coneflower Die Set
EP503: Honey Embossing Powder
MPW811: Mixed Media White Paper
DWNHB-9: 3/8" Stencil Brush

Other:
Imagine: Memento Ink: Tuxedo Black, Tangelo, Rich Cocoa. Brilliance Ink in Sunflower Yellow. irRESISTable in Wedding Dress. VersaMark Ink.
Neenah: Desert Storm Cardstock
Sakura: Gelly Roll Pen in White
Scrapbook Adhesives: Black Foam Squares, EZ-Dots

Directions:
1. Stamp the Large Coneflower on to Mixed Media White Paper two times with Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black.

2. Temporarily adhere the included stencil over one of the stamped flowers.

3. Using the stencil brush, apply Sunflower Yellow Brilliance Ink over the entire flower.

4. Apply Tangelo Memento ink to the edges of the petals using the stencil brush and remove stencil.

5. Apply Rich Cocoa Memento Ink to the center of the second flower. You don't need the stencil this time, as the center will be die cut.

6. Die cut both the yellow flower and the brown center.

7. Apply black foam squares to the back of the flower center and adhere to the yellow coneflower.

8. Use a white Gelly Roll pen to add highlights to the center.

9. Create the card base out of Neenah Desert Storm cardstock to create a side folding card. 11" x 4 1/4."

10. Place the completed flower on the card base to figure out where you would like it to be. Stamp a flower in the same spot, so that you can work around it and place it back exactly where you wanted it.

11. Continue to stamp flowers all over the card base to your liking.

12. Stamp the sentiment with VersaMark ink and emboss with Honey Embossing Powder.

13. Shake up Wedding Dress irRESISTables and unscrew the cap. Flick the straw to get droplets of white all over the card base.

14. Attach colored coneflower to the card base using EZ-Dots.

This would be a great card to make as a set, coloring the coneflowers a different color for each card. I'll be back soon with another creation. 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
