Greetings! I have a new Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge to share with yo today. This week, we are sponsored by Lemon Shortbread and the theme is "Something New." I used Bat Flapper Girl for my ATC. I cropped her quite a bit so that I wouldn't have too many tiny details on the ATC. The full image is great, and you should definitely check it out. She is one part of my "something new." I painted her with Twinkle H2O's. I haven't used them in a dogs age, and I am so glad that I broke them out for this project. Her skin was colored with my watercolor markers from Tombow. For the second half of my "something new," I used Wedding Dress irRESISTables from Imagine Crafts . That's the super cool splatter that you see in y background. It's a thick spray that stays dimensional and shiny. You can see in this picture how iridescent the Twinkles are, and the dimension of the irRESISTables. That's it for me today! I wish you a fant...

It's a wrap! Well, almost....Christmas is almost here, and the Stampendous team is wrapping up the last of our Christmas projects that we are going to share with you this year. I used Cozy Kitten for my little ATC. And I colored her and my sentiment with Chameleon Pens. The sentiment is from the Holiday Expressions Perfectly Clear set. I used a circle punch to cut out the sentiment before I colored it. And I loosely fussy cut the kitten, who is oh-so-sleepy from wrapping (or perhaps UNwrapping?!) so many presents. Around the edge of the green cardstock, I sprinkled some chunky white embossing powder from the White Encrusted Jewels Kit . Super-short post from me today, because I still have tons to do before Thursday! Merry Everything to you and yours!!!

Hello! It's time for a new Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge! The challenge this week is "Add Antlers," and we are sponsored by SLS Lines . I used the Girl with Antlers .

Today is the birthday of a very special lady. It's Laura Weed's special day, who is the fearless leader of the Stampendous team! We decided to get a fun Birthday Hop going for her, and here's what I've made. I tried to catch some of fellow DT'er Tenia 's funky vibe for my card. I just lover her style, and I would love to try to create more things like her. She's rad! I used the Forest Sayings Perfectly Clear set . I stamped both imaged on to watercolor paper with Tuxedo Back Memento Ink, and then painted them with my watercolors. While the pieces were still wet, I sprinkled kosher salt on top. This absorbs some of the paint, and leaves a really cool mottled effect behind once you wipe away the salt. You'll want to wait until the piece is dry to do that, and you can speed up the process with an embossing gun if you'd like. I also used one of the border stamps from the Life Words Perfectly Clear set . And I can't forget to mention my chevro...

Hello! It's time for me to show off another image from A Day for Daises ' December Club Kit. I used Christmas Wish, and this little guy is soooooo cah-yute!!! Isn't that the sweetest little skunk you'e ever seen? I colored him with my watercolor paints. I used 2 Spellbinders Labels 1 dies for my background, and inked the edges of everything with London Fog Memento from Imagine Crafts . Then, I took some Cut and Peel and used an EK Success border punch and sprinkled red micro glitter from the Stampendous Christmas Micro Glitter Kit all over it after I adhered it to the card. Please be sure to visit the A Day for Daisies Blog to see what the rest of the team made this week. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Hello and welcome! It's time for a new Wicked Wednesday ATC challenge. This week, we are sponsored by The East Wind , and the challenge is Winter Blues. I used Lucy Loo Luna Spell . I colored her with my watercolor paints. I didn't pay too much attention to deatail, and I just gave her overall washes of colors. She is a great image, and I cropped her down for the ATC, but I look forward to coloring the entire image bigger some day. I used some Shimmery Silver Delicata ink from Imagine Crafts around the edges of the image, along with shimmery blue cardstock behind it for my base. I also used a Sakura glitter pen for the crescent moon and her bindi. That's it for me today. Please be sure to visit the rest of the Wicked Wednesday team over on the blog. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

We are busy Celebrating the Season over at Stampendous this week, featuring all sorts of holiday images, predominantly House Mouse. So I decided to share one with you today as well. This is Joyful Noise . I colored this musical duo with Chameleon Pens, and then I loosely fussy cut around the image. I used a coordinating purple cardstock for my card base, and some scraps of blue and green for the background. I also added some lovely, chunky Shaved Ice around the edge. I love the texture and sparkle of the Shaved Ice. I also added a piece of May Arts ribbon. The Stampendous Blog and some other DT members will be posting on Wednesday, so below is the link list for then.  Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
