I decided to work with one of my beloved Sweet Pea Stamps. I haven't been able to play with them in such a long time. And believe it or not, the image I used for today, I have never inked up before! Which is really terrible, because I adore this image. It's called Aloha.

Isn't this image beautiful? I loved coloring it. I used my watercolor markers and Copics. And, I stamped the image with StazOn. I have heard many times to never, ever use Copics with StazOn, but look, my friends! No bleeding! You just need to make sure that your ink is truly dry. Use a heat gun or wait a few hours.

I'll need to color this sweet duo up again soon, as I'm sure that once my daughter spies this card, she's going to want me to make one for her (she's 3).

I used my usual eclectic mix of papers and embellishments. Plus a "Lucky" banner from Inkadinkado. I used some of my favorite embossing powder (Amazing Glaze by Judi Kins) around the edges of the card to give it a watery effect. I loved putting this card together. I was so happy to participate in this "Green" hop, being a tree hugger and all! ;) 
Thank you so much for joining us and helping us celebrate Nature! Your next stop is the talented and crafty
Enjoli.  Thank you so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

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

Remembering Aletha

Greetings, Friends. This post today is part of a very special blog hop. We are celebrating the life of an amazingly talented artist and friend. The crafting community lost Aletha Jane Williams on May 5, 2019. Those of us that worked with her on Design Teams or on Challenge Blogs all agree that she was one of the sweetest and most talented women we knew. We are not here to mourn her loss though. This hop is happening in conjunction with a very special celebration of her life and her art that her husband Bob is holding in her home city of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Please join us in honoring our incredibly creative friend Aletha . My card features the "Remembering Aletha" Sprite, which Mitzi (owner and artist of Aurora Wings ) created specifically for this hop. She is generously giving the digi away to all, over on her blog. This sweet Sprite looks so much like Aletha, and I know she would have been honored. If you download this digi for yourself, please be sure to give a huge "
