StampInsanity Challenge #53: Feeling Edgy?

Feeling edgy? Why yes, as a matter of fact, I am. Having a new puppy is wonderful, but I really feel like I have a newborn running around my house with no diapers on. So, I am a wee (get it?) bit stressed out. But I digress…this week’s StampInsanity challenge is called Feeling Edgy, and you are to use some creative edging techniques, or punches, to create a cool and GROOVY look!

 

I used Roder for this card. I love him. He’s just so darn cool! I can see Phoenix looking like this when he’s a teen. I used a bunch of borders and edges for this card. I broke out the cracked edge Martha Stewart punch (all the way on the left), kept one piece of paper with a simple straight edge, folded a piece and stapled it down and then used a Glimmer Screen from Tattered Angels with some Black Gold Glimmer Mist and chalk. 

I am just realizing now that I didn’t tear or distress any of my edges! How could I forget to do that? It’s one of my favorite techniques! Oh well…I think it looks cool anyway! :) Roder has been colored in with my pencils. Can I just say that I am SO diggin’ his hair and pants? I really like how they look.

Here you can see some of my edges a bit better. This was a really fun challenge, and I hope you decide to play along with us! But first, please visit the rest of the Groovy Gurlz to see their take on this rad challenge!

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
