SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #240 A is for ATC

 

Hello snarky peeps and welcome back!

It's time for another challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

This fortnight, we are revisiting a popular

(to some of the Sisters 😉) theme, the ATC,

or, Artist Trading Card/Coin.

A little tiny work of art on a little tiny canvas of your choice.

The sky's the limit with these gems!

Here's what I came up with:

I used some particle board for my substrate, and mod podged some

scrap bits of gel printed paper, and various papers. I smudged black

paint around the edges. I stamped and colored the fox images, as 

well as stamped the words with an alphabet stamp set.

Here's a closer look:

I hope that you'll join my sisters and our reigning Queen,

Granne, and create one or more ATC for our ATC challenge

at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you have a great day!

Supplies:

Substrate: particle board

Stamps: Some Odd Girl - Hipster Pets; Studio G - alphabet stamps

Ink: Memento - tuxedo black; Staz On - Jet Black

Papers: scraps

Accessories: Spectrum Noir markers; Prismacolor pencils; scrap gel prints, stamped book paper, mystery paper; DecoArt Americana black acrylic paint;

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #204 - Q is for Quirky

 Hello snarky peeps and welcome! It's time once again for the

new challenge at the SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

This fortnight it's Q for QUIRKY!

I created an art journal page for my project:

I decided to make a collage using bits of leftover gel prints, stamped

cardstock and book paper, and paper using Magenta Nuance powder dyes.

Once everything was dry, I randomly stamped more images, then 

added doodle marks with a black and a white pen.

Here are some process photos:

I set that aside and printed out the sentiment and the

main image, colored and fussy cut them. These were adhered with 

foam squares then I glued some sequins on the gal to use as earrings.

Glad that I put a small dent in the pile of backgrounds I've made

over the years. LOL! I hope that you'll join Edna and my Sisters

for our Quirky challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

reigning Queen, Beverly, have created to inspire you!

Hello hello!

Welcome back snarky peeps! It's time for the new challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

This fortnight, it's all about Gel Printing!

I searched through some prints I made over the years and

decided to use this blue one for a masculine birthday card:

and the inside. Forgive my hand modeling, the card didn't

want to stay flat.

Gotta love a great snarky sentiment!  LOL! I stamped the balloons

twice, once onto gray card stock, then again on a scrap of this

funky gray DP that had a nested squares design on it. By angling how

I stamped the balloon image I was able to get a different design on each balloon.

I just fussy cut the bunch and glued it onto the gray card. Cool beans!

I hope that you'll join Edna, my sisters, and our reigning Queen,

Fran, in our Gel Printing challenge! I look forward to seeing

your projects linked up at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

Thanks for visiting. Have a great day!

The Sisterhood is getting Xposed this fortnight. We can't wait

to see how you interpret this one! LOL!

their store for a flasher stamp. LOL! He's colored with Spectrum Noir 

markers. The background is die cut from a

gel print I made a couple years ago, then I added to it with the

stitched texture plate. My sentiment is courtesy of a meme

I found on the Google.

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #132 - K is for Karma

 (You know you are going to be singing Karma Chameleon now! LOL!

Girl Edna makes for a fabulous Boy George!)

 Good morning snarky peeps and welcome! It's time for the next

challenge at the SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

As you've figured out, it's all about Karma!

This was a tough challenge for many of the Sisters, myself included.

But luckily, there's this thing called Google, and you can search for memes about

Karma. That's what I did, and found this great sentiment there:

 I've used a swear word on my card so, just a heads up:

Ok, here ya go:

Once I found my sentiment and printed it out, this card came together pretty quickly.

I had colored up this retro gal image a couple months ago, and the background was

one of the first gel prints I made last year. I thought the stenciled pattern added to the

retro vibe of my card. HA! 

So now it's your turn. Let Karma be your guide and let your freak flag fly!

We look forward to seeing what you come up with in our gallery at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! For more inspiration, simply check out
