Aurora Wings Challenge #75

Hello! Today I have a 6" x 6" mini page that I am sharing for the latest Aurora Wings challenge, which is "Over the Rainbow." I was very inspired by the beautiful Unicorn Sprite.

I colored her with Zig Clean Color Markers, and I really took my time with her. I love how she turned out.

I knew I didn't want to put her on a card, so I decided to make a page for a 6" x 6" album that I am making that is dedicated to the Sprites from Aurora Wings.

I decided to create an altered rainbow using Distress Oxides in Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers, and Dusty Concord. I splattered the inked background with Sheer Shimmer Spritz in Sparkle from Imagine. I chose a Laurel Burch ("Celebrate Dreams") sentiment from Stampendous and stamped it with VersaFine Clair ink in Fantasia. I also used a star die from Rubbernecker Stampers with a silver vellum on the background, as well as another vellum with the Cloud Die from Stampendous' Meadow Edger's Die set. Lastly, I added a lot of lovely sequins from the "Vixen" Sparkle Blend from Doodles Paper Playground.

I love working with the Aurora Wings Sprites, and I am especially happy with how this sweetie turned out. She will b perfect in my mini album, although my kids want to hang her in their room! Please be sure to visit the Aurora Wings Challenge Blog to add your "Over the Rainbow" project to the blog. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

What a magical page, Alison! I really love your modified rainbow colors you've carried throughout and it's obvious you took your time coloring Unicorn Sprite. The outcome is amazing. Love the vellum accents and sparkle, too. What a perfect project for our theme. Gorgeous! xxD

This is so beautiful, Alison! Gorgeous coloring in clean colors. The way you highlighted the mane and tail bring such dimension and life to the Unicorn Sprite! Love the background, too. Thank you so much for this gorgeous inspiration for today's mid-challenge post. M xxx

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
