Friends Remain in Our Hearts

Hello! I have a card about friendship to share with you today. It uses a small stamp to create a background, and a large sentiment stamp for the focal point. All of my instructions are below.

My Colors Cardstock: Ocean Side
Beacon Adhesives: Zip Dry Glue
Canson: Mixed Media Paper
Piece of scrap Watercolor Paper with inks, sprays, etc. on it

Directions:
1. Take a scrap piece of watercolor paper that has overspray, inks, etc on it (mine had Color Burst) and die cut it with the small "H" Fitted Frame.

2. Ink the sentiment with VersaFine ink and stamp on to the die cut.

3. Ink the edges of the die cut with Night Sky VersaMagic.

4. Using Canson Mixed Media Paper, cut a piece to 5 1/4" x 3 3/4."

5. Stamp the flying hearts stamp all over the Mixed Media Paper with VersaFine.

6. Color the hearts and wings using Zig Clean Color Markers using the colors listed above.

7. Spray with Sheer Shimmer Spritz in Sparkle.

8. Ink the edges with Aspen Mist VersaMagic.

9. Create the card base out of Ocean Side cardstock. Cut to the size of 5 1/2" x 8."

10. Glue all pieces together using Zip Dry Glue.

Cards that are just about appreciating friendship are so special in my opinion. They go beyond the average birthday or holiday card. It's a special token of how you feel about someone, and is often unexpected, which is the best part. 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 ...

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...
