Unstoppable

I am honored to be kicking off the new Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers challenge: "Z is for Zaphod Beeblebrox". Lindsey was kind enough to explain what that even meant :)  Luckily the sisterhood is accepting a more general topic of space related projects. I created this background with Stipple Mists and Perfect Pearls.  

     Spray a white mixed media white background with water.

     Spray Indigo and black Stipple Mists on panel.

     Spray with water again.  Let dry.

     Spray white Stipple Mist on dried panel.

     Finish with a spritz of Perfect Pearls mixed with water. 

Unfortunately I couldn't quite photography the shimmer of the space galaxy background.

I hope you can play along with Edna and all the Snarky Sisters

 and show us your galaxy cards. 

Just Sitting Here

Hello fellow crafters!  I've been blessed with being a member of the Just for Fun Rubber Stamps Design Team.  JFF has decided to discontinue their Design Team and monthly challenges.  I'll miss all the creativity from my fellow team members. 

In May I created a few backgrounds using Stipple Mists as a stamping medium. This set of trees were stamped on photo paper as an experiment and I love how the ink interacted with the paper.

I Heart You

Happy Monday! Paper Smooches Stamps is hosting a Flower Challenge for May. So today I'm featuring thePSS Hibiscus flower stamp  from the Get out of Town and Get out of Town Dies sets. Instead of coloring the image I decided to stamp on a Color Burst art panel and die cut. The background is created by simply spraying with Stipple Mists.

Time to Relax

Can you believe it's May already!?  Time to get outdoors and enjoy the sunshine before it gets too hot here in Cali. 

Have you ever cut your rubber stamps to just use a portion?  To some crafters this is sacrilegious. To me...it's getting more bang for my buck.  I trimmed a "Hole in One" golf quote into three different stamps.  I now have a birthday stamp, a relax quote and a golf sentiment.

To create the background, I sprayed a pool of Stipple Mists on my glass mat and added water.  I used this as my "ink pad" and created a watercolor pine tree image. 

Note: Try different papers for different effects. The above photo is on glossy paper.

There's still time to join us for our April Lace Challenge.

Music Challenge

It's time for a new challenge over at Just for Fun Rubber Stamps.  For the month of February we're challenging you to create projects with a music theme.  There's a catch...we'd like you to use purple, green and gold in your design.

Welcome back my crafty friends!

Valentine's day is coming up and I thought this silhouette stamp would be perfect. The background panel was made with Stipple Mists and tissue paper on glossy white paper.  I love the way the background looks outdoorsy.

Winter Pinecone

Can you believe it's almost Christmas!? I hope this has been a wonderful holiday season for you all. 

I love pine cones!  I usually buy bags full of cinnamon scented pine cones to fill my house for the holidays. I remember collecting cones as a kid up at our cabin. 

Just for Fun Rubber Stamps have several pine cone stamp images with this large ornament stamp being one of my favorite. I stamped it in brown ink, colored the top with a silver metallic pen and then fussy cut. By using white stipple mist I added a touch of snow.

Be Merry!

Can you believe it's December!? I hope you all have a fabulous holiday season. This month's challenge at Just for Fun Rubber Stamps is to create a card for any holiday. How simple is that? Just pick your favorite holiday, create a card and post it on our linky party. 

I was inspired to create this midnight snow scene by a Jennifer McGuire video on Perfect Pearls. I wanted to use products I already have and was delighted to finally use my pine silhouette stamp. This card uses the second stamping of a watermark ink and perfect pearls. I spritzed the background with the new Club Scrap white Stipple Mist to add snow.

We look forward to seeing your holiday cards!
