SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #201 - I is for Ink

 

Hello and welcome snarky peeps! Holy Crap, it's 2022!

It's also time for the new challenges to start up at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

For this first challenge of the new year, we want to see

your inky creations! Speaking of inky, Sister Lee has

done it yet again with this glorious colorful graphic!

For my card, I used Dylusions ink sprays on the background

panel, plus alcohol ink markers to color the cake image:

This was a labor of love. In the below picture, the original

cake image is shown, along with a bunch of stamped and fussy cut

candles that I added. Once I had everything stuck down, I gave

the flames a coating of Crystal Stickles for a bit of sparkle.

I continued the snark on the inside of my card:

Guess what? I decided to make TWO cards! Yay me!

I hope that you'll join Edna and the Sisters and play along in our

Ink challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

SHOPPING OUR STASH #390 - Fabulous February

 Good morning and Happy Tuesday crafty peeps!

We have a fun challenge starting today at

SHOPPING OUR STASH!

Mimi is your hostess this fortnight, and she's challenged us to create something

inspired by February's stone (amethyst), or February's flowers (iris and violet)!

 A few days ago, I posted about this card using this tutorial to create a background.

Well, I just happened to make a couple more panels using another

stencil and different colors of powder dyes. Since one of the dyes happened

to be violet, I figured I could use these for my cards.

Here's my first card:

 

and the inside:

I broke out some ancient ribbon that matched pretty well with my card base color.

The butterfly receive a heavy coating of my Wink of Stella pen.

I tried to get a picture of all the sparkly goodness:

 

 

 Since I had two panels, I made another card:

and the inside:

I experimented with spritzing the back sides of the vellum wings with some 

turquoise shimmer spray, and I really like the effect! As with the butterfly, this cute faerie

 was equally coated with my WOS pen.

I hope you get some time to join in our Fabulous February challenge

at Shopping Our Stash! We'd love to see how you interpret it on your projects.

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

Hello and welcome snarky peeps!

It's time for another challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #59 F is for Fugly

Hello crafty peeps, and welcome! We have a new challenge starting today at the SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS! F is for Fugly is the theme this time around. (Fugly, as in F%@king Ugly!) Time to break out those heinous papers, those grotesque stamps, those abominable embellishments, and make a card or project with them!

For my card, I used some fugly paper to make a big flower:

 Here is the inside:

I wanted to showcase both sides of this paper, because in my eyes, the patterns/colors are awful. I even found an ugly silk flower from my stash! (the orangey one) I layered it with a couple more flowers and attached it to my paper flower with a brad. I tried to pretty up the card with that butterfly die cut and the sentiment (from a NBUS stamp set I won a few months ago!) Even the inside sentiment saw ink for the first time on this card. (Can't believe I've never used that one before.) I used another non-loved bit of paper for the strip at the top. (Kind of reminds me of a really bad carpet pattern from the 70's) The butterfly body is die cut using the back side of it. It's good to use your stuff! My design is based on the now ended Retro Sketch #214. (Missed it by that much!)

So, now it's your turn to use your fugly craft supplies and make something with them! Just link up at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers so we can admire it! While there, please do check out the amazingly gross creations by my Snarky Sisters, and our newest Guest Designer, Creepy Glowbugg, and leave them some bloggy love! Thanks for visiting!

JUST US GIRLS #338 - Trend Week

Hello crafty friends. I'm home and in between flights back to Illinois, so I wanted to have some fun in my craft room (a.k.a. therapy!)  I'm popping in real quick with a card I made for this week's smooshing challenge at JUST US GIRLS! Here's my card:

Here's the inside:

I used four Distress Inks on my water color paper panel and had a lot of fun shooshing the colors. I took my heat gun to it to speed up the drying time. Using my MISTI, I stamped the sentiment a few times in black ink to get a dark impression, but it was still not working (because of the water color paper texture). So I stamped it again in VersaMark ink and heat embossed it with black embossing powder. Worked much better! I added that over a scalloped frame then added some silver sequins.

I'm late to the party, but you still have another day before this challenge ends! I hope you find some time to play along at Just Us Girls! While there, please check out what my teammates, and our new Guest Designer, Angie Cimbalo, have created! Thanks for visiting, and I hope you have a great day!

There's a new challenge in town....

Yep. That's right. Leslie of The Crooked Stamper, has started a new sketch challenge! Hold on to your panties - shit's about to get real! LOL! First the sketch, them my take on it:

Here's the inside:

 

 I followed the sketch pretty closely, just added my sentiment centered (if not straight) under the frame. A die cut frame, some paper pieced balloons, another simple sentiment on the inside and I was done. Easy peasy lemon squeezy! 

I hope that you get a chance to play along with Leslie's new sketch challenge! I'm playing along because she's my friend and I want to support and cheer her on with this new endeavor. (But, just so you know, she'll be giving away prizes too! SWEET!) 

Thanks for stopping by! I hope that you have a great day!
