SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #85 B is for Beach

Hiya snarky peeps and welcome!

This fortnight at the 

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS,

it's all about the BEACH!!

Here's my take on the challenge:

I was inspired by this card by Lauren Bergold and had a go at water coloring

my beach background using various Distress Inks. I'm quite pleased with

how it turned out. I colored my beach babe image with Spectrum Noir markers and 

Prismacolor pencils, fussy cut and adhered her with thin foam squares. Stamped 

the sentiment and this card was done.

Now it's your turn to break out those beach themed items you've been hoarding and use

them on your card or project! We hope to see you link up at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! For more inspiration, do check out what my Sisters in Snark,

and our Guest Designer - Margo have created, and leave some bloggy love!

JUST US GIRLS #382 - Photo Week

Welcome friends, and happy Saturday to you!

It's Photo Week at JUST US GIRLS! Sue is your hostess and she's chosen

this gorgeous picture to inspire you. Like her, I'm sooooo ready

for Spring, warm weather, and flowers blooming!

Here's what I came up with:

 Here is the inside:

My image was created by using 6 individual stamps, a little masking, and a lot of

swearing. LOL! I colored it with my Spectrum Noir markers and fussy cut. It's adhered with

thin foam squares. The sentiment is heat embossed in white onto black cardstock. I added some rhinestones for a little sparkle, and another sentiment finishes the inside.

I hope you get a chance to play along this week at Just Us Girls for our Photo Week. If you

need more inspiration, then do check out what my teammates, and our Guest Designer, Michele Greenwood, have come up with to dazzle you! Sadly, this is Michele's last time guesting with us

You're next....

I was embracing my dark side yesterday. This is what came about:

 here is the inside:

The bell jar and voodoo doll are two separate stamps, I just did a bit of masking to sit the doll inside the jar. (pay no attention to the fact that I stamped it crooked...even using my MISTI. sigh. Note to self: in future, stamp image first then die cut panel! Sigh) The image was colored with my Spectrum Noir markers. I sort of CASEd the coloring of this card by Hermine Koster. (Thank you Hermine, for the inspiration!) Once I had the image colored, I masked it and sponged a couple colors of Distress Ink around it. I flicked water over the panel, let it sit  a few seconds, and sopped it up with a paper towel. Then I spritzed Graphite Glimmer Mist over it, before removing the mask. I knew the sentiment I wanted to use, but didn't have a stamp that said it, so I did a bit of masking parts of a couple stamps to come up with it. That's heat embossed in white onto black cardstock. The inside panel was stamped then more sponging applied to finish my card.

I need to tap into my dark side more often. This was too much fun to make! Muahahahahaha!!!

SHOPPING OUR STASH #274 - Hey Ghoulfriend!

Hello friends and welcome! This week at SHOPPING OUR STASH, we challenge you to get in the Halloween mood, and make a Halloween card or project! Here is the card I made:

 here is the inside:

I've had this stamp set for a few years at least, and I have used some of the sentiments in it, but not the one on the card front, and not the image either. It was time. Although I had a heck of a time trying to blend the colors in the dresses, my crappy coloring job kinda makes the dresses appear made from a shiny, satin type material. (At least, that's my story and I'm sticking with it) 

I look forward to seeing what Halloween goodies you link up at Shopping Our Stash! For even more amazing inspiration, do visit the blogs of my teammates and our Guest Designer, Gina, and leave some bloggy lovin!

Remember, we are looking for Guest Designers! If you wish to be considered, all you need to do is leave a "DT" after your name when you link up! I hope you will!

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

SHOPPING OUR STASH #270 - Fairies and Angels

Hello all, and welcome! This week at SHOPPING OUR STASH, we challenge you to use fairies or angels on your card or project. Since I have a slew of fairy images, that's what I went with:

 here is the inside:

I've had this digi for a while, but it's the first I've colored her. I had everything colored except her dress, and was trying to decide what color to go with. Either red or green would be too overpowering, I thought. I considered gold. Then my hubby came into my craft room and suggested sapphire. (face palm) Sometimes the hubby is sooooo brilliant! LOL! Here's a close up, showing the Stickles on the wings, the flower centers, and the berries on the arm band.

Now it's your turn to play along at Shopping Our Stash! It's couldn't be easier: use a fairy or angel image and link it up! For more inspiration, check out what my teammates, and our September Guest Designer, Jennifer, have created for your viewing pleasure! Don't forget to leave them some bloggy lovin!
