Hellebore

Hello! This week, the Stampendous Team is sharing projects with "Flowers for Spring." I don't know about you, but I am not a fan of the winter. I much prefer the warmth and beauty of the spring. Today's card has the new Hellebore stamp. This is a BIG stamp, and it is just beautiful. I wanted to make this card very dynamic and bright, to sort of chase away those winter blues. And I think I succeeded. My full instructions are below so that you can make this card yourself.
Supplies:
Stampendous:
W207: Hellebore
DWLJ806: Honeycomb Stencil
SSC1272: Brushed Wishes Stamps

Other:
My Colors Cardstock: Sweetie Pie
Imagine: VersaFine Clair Ink in Nocturne, Twilight, On Point Glue
Tombow Dual Brush Markers: 025, 055, 703, 725, 755, 757
Distress Oxide Inks: Worn Lipstick, Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers
Dylusions: Ink Spray in Vibrant Turquoise
Scrapbook Adhesives: EZ Runner
Canson: Mixed Media Paper
Recollections: Watercolor Paper
Craft Foam

Directions:
1. Stamp the Hellebore on to Mixed Media Paper with VersaFine Clair Ink in Nocturne

2. Color the stamped image in with the Tombow markers listed.

3. Fussy cut the image out.

4. Create the background on watercolor paper with Distress Oxides by swiping the color on to a glass or media mat, spritzing with water, and swiping the paper through until the desired look is achieved.

5. Let the background dry fully.

6. Spray the Honeycomb stencil with Vibrant Turquoise Ink Spray and lay it on to the dried background.

7. Carefully lift up the stencil and allow background to dry again.

8. Trim the background to your desired size.

9. Create the card base out of Sweetie Pie cardstock, cut to 5 1/2" x 8."

10. Adhere the flower to a piece of craft foam using On Point Glue.

11. Stamp the sentiment to the lower right corner of the background with VersaFine Clair Ink in Twilight.

12. Adhere the background to the card base with EZ Runner.

13. Adhere the flower to the background with On Point Glue.

I love the bold colors of this card. They just make me smile! Please be sure to visit the Stampendous Blog to see more "Flowers for Spring." 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
