Delightful Thursday | Spotlight Card

It's Delightful Thursday and the Digital Delights design team is sharing inspiration on the Digital Delights Blog today! 

Today I'm created a Spotlight Card with the precious Ferris Wheel Fun digital stamp from Digital Delights by Louby Lou! This stamp has SO many possibilities for dimension...One of my favorite tricks is to do a spotlight card...you highlight a spot on the card with color and leave the remaining card blank--this looks striking in Kraft as well but I'm trying not to over Kraft you! You can do your pop of color any shape you want...I like to use a square or a circle. Today I chose a 1" square from the image--the piggy is my favorite--and colored him. I matted him on a small piece of Payne's grey card stock and then popped him in the Ferris wheel where he belonged with a piece of foam tape!  Thank you for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my card.

Delightful Thursday and New Release!

It's Delightful Thursday and the Digital Delights design team is sharing inspiration on the Digital Delights Blog today! 

Today I'm created this quick and easy card with the Cowardly George digi from Digital Delights new May release. George is so cute!. I colored him with PrismaColor pencils on Kraft cardstock! I just love the look and the white pencil is so striking against the Kraft background. I love George's little hands...it is perfect to have him "hold" things on your card. Here he's captured a star but that could easily be a bouquet of flowers for mom or a gift for someone special or a piece of cake! Love him! Thank you for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my card.

March Monthly Smeared Ink Blog Hop | Alice in Wonderland Madness!

Good Morning Smeared and Smudged Family! This month I'm participating in the Alice in Wonderland Madness Members Blog Hop! Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorite subjects to art. SO MUCH FUN! I'm using a rubber stamp from Viva Las VegaStamps today...it's a stamp created from the illustrations of Sir John Tenniel--they have several made into stamps at VLVS.

 I created this little fat book page on a piece of canvas paper...I began by swirling on distress ink with my beautiful Enchanted Vine RebeccaBaer.com Collage stencil...the same stencil is later used to get the diamond pattern on the bottom right and the Swirl at the top left. I recently joined the Rebecca Baer Design Team and get to share with you often these awesome Mixed Media tools!! Her Stencil Brushes are AMAZING...more about that at another time! You're here to HOP!  The image was stamped on a piece of scrapbooking paper made to look like a dictionary page. As the image was bigger than my 4×4" square, I altered slightly to get both the Cheshire Cat and Alice on the page. The cat and Alice and a piece of the branch were colored with Prisma Pencils and then painted with Ranger Perfect Pearls Mist in Pearl to add SHIMMER. The cat needed some googly eyes to finish him off.

Below are details of this fun tile! Enjoy!

copper creams were lightly brushed over the top of the raised stenciling.
