April Monthly Smeared Ink Blog Hop | Decorate an Egg





Good Morning Smeared and Smudged Family! Today I'm participating with the Smeared & Smudged members in a fun egg-themed blog hop! We had to STAMP on an egg! SO FUN! You know I love decorating eggs...with tangles or decoupage or paint! I pierced the top and bottom of the egg and blew it out so my art would last--one time people got upset when I boiled the eggs first, decorated them, photographed them and then cracked and peeled them for egg salad! sometimes art is temporary!

I began by using Radiant Rains from ColourArte and misting my egg to get this lovely pink and green background. [it looks more pink than green in the photos!] I set this aside to dry. The radiant rains have a LOT of sparkle! Next I stamped my new little bird on some tissue with Archival ink and then painted my bird with the yummy Twinkling H2Os from ColorArte! When he was dry I trimmed him out and with Beacon Quick Finish Decoupage I glued him onto the egg. Once dry I added small flowers from Cheery Lynns Tiny Flower set and added yellow Prills for the centers. I misted with the pearl Radiant Rain to finish off the egg!

I wish you could see it in real life...it's so sparkly! 



Thank you for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my project!

Father's Day Steampunk Style with Viva Las Vegastamps!


Today I wanted to share with you some of the first stamps I purchased with Viva Las Vegastamps! When I saw this Steam Engine and the Steampunk Alphabet, I immediately knew this would be a Father's Day card for my Dad who is a model train hobbyist. He and my son share a deep passion for trains--this is perfect for many applications in my crafting! Hop on over to the blog to check out some crafty tips!


Thank you for looking at my cards! I hope you enjoy them!
