Directions:

5. Die cut the sentiment with the 2nd smallest circle in the Build a Wreath Die Set.

6. Color the sentient with Dandelion Ink.

7. Cut a strip of Harvest Orange cardstock, cut to 2" x 5 1/2."

8. Apply a strip of Tear It! Tape down near the left side of the Harvest Orange strip.

9. Sprinkle Aged Teal Embossing Powder on to the Tear It! Tape, shake off excess, and heat emboss.

10. Create the card base out of Tropical Splash cardstock, cut to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2."

11. Adhere all layers to the card base with EZ Runner, except for the hummingbird.

12. Apply foam squares (trim them if you need to) to the back of the hummingbird, and apply to the card.

13. Adhere yellow sequins to the card using On Point Glue.
I loved using such bold colors on the stamped images, as well as my background. And playing with any of the "Aged" embossing powders is always fun! Please be sure to visit the rest of the Stampendous team over on the Blog. Thanks so much 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
