Little Mushroom

Greetings! This week, the Stampendous Design Team has been sharing projects "Celebrate Nature." I used the very pretty Little Mushroom stamp set, along with some chalks and Zig Clean Color Markers. 
Supplies:
Stampendous:
QS5021: Little Mushroom
QD5021: Little Mushroom Die Set

Other:
My Colors Cardstock: Madras Blue
Zig Clean Color Markers: Butterfly- 023, 052, 070. Mushroom- 041, 043, 045, 046, 064, 075, 096, 302, 900, 901
Imagine: VersaFine Clair Ink in Nocturne
Scrapbook Adhesives: EZ Runner
Canson: Mixed Media Paper
Nuvo: Jewel Drops in Sea Breeze
Colored Chalks
Pro Art: Spray Fixative

Directions:
1. Stamp the Little Mushroom on to Mixed Media Paper with Nocturne Ink.

2. Color the stamped image in with the Zig Clean Color Markers listed.

3. Apply colored chalk to the background of the colored image.

4. Trim the image by hand with scissors.

5. Stamp the sentiment with Nocturne Ink.

6. Use the coordinating die to cut out the sentiment.

7. Color the sentiment with chalk.

8. Spray the sentiment and colored image with Spray Fixative, to keep the chalk from smearing.

9. Cut the card base out of Madras Blue cardstock, cut to 4 1/4" x 11."

10. Adhere both layers to the base with EZ Runner.

11. Apply Nuvo Jewel Drops in Sea Breeze around the colored image and down the side of the card base.

12. Let dry.
I can imagine coloring this mushroom in lots of different ways, from realistic to fantasy. And these images are great for a wide variety of cards, including masculine. Please be sure to visit the Stampendous Blog to see what the rest of the team is working on this week. 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
