Here is the YouTube video showing you the SMASH concept:

Card by Julie Glasgow

Stamps: Farewell Tilda

Paper: DCWV

Ink:  Staz-On, Distress Ink

Accessories: Flowers, Pearls, Liquid Pearls, Lace, Doily, MS Leaves and Branch Deep Edge Punch

 During my hiatus, we camped for a week in the beautiful Rocky Mountains, days of listing to a river and staring at beautiful mountains and trees. Ahhh, relaxation. I had lots of down time to watercolor some images, including this one.

I have to admit, all the flowers in the bouquet are precolored. My airbrush has not seen the light of day in weeks. 

I added Pearls to the corners and Liquid Pearls to the image for a little extra zing. I aged the doily with Distress Ink.

There are several circle elements on my card, including the doily, the circles on the DCWV paper on the doily. the pearls, and even the dots on her dress.

Halloween project by Tori Hemingway

Happy Sunday, y'all!! It is pouring here in FL right now, so I thought I would throw together a little Halloween project. Yes, it is time for me to start working on Halloween stuff!

I made a Treat container using an upcycled Tootsie Roll container. This would make a cute gift to give a neighbor filled with whatever sweet or spooky treat you like!

This is So Spooky Tilda. She is out of stock at the moment, but I am sure Tab will be getting her back in stock soon. I colored her with Copics and cut her out. She is popped up on top of the doily I sponged with orange and black distress ink. I used 2 different Martha Stewart punches: drippy goo and spooky picket fence. The picket fence is hard to find, but this is a good substitute.

Here is the side view of the sentiment. I stamped them with black distress ink and cut them out. They were sponged with purple and black distress ink and popped up with 3-D tape.

Here is a close-up of Tilda. The Copics I used are: E11, 00, 000, R30, V09, 06, 04, 01, C7, 5, 3, 1, E37, 35, 33, 59, 57, 55, 53, 50, Y26, 21

Supplies:
Stamps - So Spooky Tilda, sentiment (PTI)
Paper - K & Co, cardstock (SU)
Ink - Memento, Copics, orange ink (SU), black distress ink (Tim Holtz)
Accessories - doily, sponges, fence punch, drippy goo punch (Martha Stewart), black baker's twine

Redheaded Tilda by Lisa Summerhays

Evening all! As you hopefully have been noticing lately I’ve been trying to go out of my comfort zone and try new things. A couple weeks ago I tried my first redhead. I decided to give it another try on Tilda with Balloon (an improvement, hurray) and I also used embellishments. I mean more than my usual three gemstones. I love the look but am not all that comfortable with it. It took me longer than usual but I think it turned out decent enough. Next, 4X6 cards. Wish me luck.

Supplies

Stamps: Magnolia- Tilda with Balloon

Paper: s.e.i. citruskick, American Crafts Modabella, Neenah Cardstock

Accessories: Prima Flowers, Basic Grey brads, thread, Basic Grey buttons, stickles, corner rounder punch, Fiskars apron border punch, Hero Art gems

Color Medium: Copics

Hair- E19, E97, YR18

Skin- E000, E00, E01, E11, E13, R20

Clothes- YR12, YR14, YR16, YR18, BG72, BG75, C1, C3, C6, C7, C9
