Downward Dog

Hello! This week, the Stampendous Design Team is making project with the theme, "Balance Buddies." We have several types of animals that are giving yoga a try. I decided to work with the Downward Dog stamp today. 
Supplies:
Stampendous:
V344: Downward Dog
DCP1005: Fitted Frames Set A
MPW811: Mixed Media Paper

Other:
Bo Bunny: Pink Punch Vintage 12" x 12" Paper- 12PPV951
Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers: 022, 027, 031, 041, 050, 065, 070, 072, 080, 303
Imagine: Kaleidacolor Ink Pad in Calypso, Ink Potion No. 9, VersaFine Clair Ink in Nocturne
Canson Mixed Media Paper
Scrapbook Adhesives: EZ Runner
Large Acrylic Block
Embossed Dot cardstock in dark teal

Directions:
1. Stamp Downward Dog on to a piece of Canson Mixed Media Paper with VersFine Clair Ink.

2. Color the image using the colors listed.

3. Die cut the image using the Large "V" Fitted Frame.

4. Apply Calypso Ink directly to a large acrylic block, swiping the color from top to bottom, horizontally.

5. Spritz the inked block with Ink Potion No. 9.

6. Press the inked block on to a piece of Mixed Media White Paper and let sit for about 4 minutes.

7. Remove the block, and cut out the inked area to the desired shape and size.

8. Cut a piece of embossed dark teal cardstock to 5 1/4" x 4."

9. Create the card base out of Pink Punch Vintage cardstock, cut to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2."

10. Glue all layers.

I really enjoy doing the ink splotch technique with an acrylic block. You get such a wonderful watercolor effect without much effort at all. And the Kaleidacolor ink pads have such a wide range of palettes, that you can get a wonderful variety of backgrounds. I'll be back with another fun animal doing yoga later this week. Please be sure to visit the Stampendous Blog to see more. 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...
