Poetic Artistry

Hi friends! It's my day to share a little Jaded Blossom inspiration on the blog. I've been feeling a little lackluster lately in the creative department. When that happens, I like to get back to basics and just do some good old fashioned stamping and coloring.

This Rainbow Doodle image had yet to see ink, so I stamped it and the sentiment out in Mememto ink and got to work coloring them up with Copic markers. I added a few accents with a white gel pen, a clear stardust gel pen, and some glossy accents.

Since I had so much going on with all the happy colors, I decided to go with the Sunburst Card Mat Die in yellow, inlaid with white cardstock so the focus could be on the image. I added both the image and sentiment on dimensional foam tape, then finished off with some aqua glimmer drops.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fantastically happy day!

Hey Everyone! Welcome to Jaded Blossom's April Stamp Release Blog Hop.

If you're here from Cindy's blog you're in the right place, if you're just passing through you'll want start at the beginning so you don't miss a thing. I also have the complete line up at the bottom, if a link goes astray along the way.
Here is what I made:
Are there any How I Met Your Mother fans out there? Every time I see this sentiment from the Born to Ride set I giggle and think legend.... wait for it..... ary! I embossed it in silver onto black cardstock and then cut with the coordinating Born To Ride Outline Dies.

I thought this sentiment would go well with a biker girl, so I pulled out the Girl Gnome Die and the new Gnome Dies: Motorcycle Add Ons and got to work. I cut the bike from some shiny black and foil papers from Christmas and Halloween Recollections paper pads. I cut her leather jacket from mushroom cardstock and inked with black soot distress ink. Her shirt and bandana are done with some red patterned paper, with a bit of Copic marker shading.
The background for my mini slimline card is an old scrap of paper from a Tim Holtz 12 x 12 pad from years gone by. I splattered it with a healthy dose of silver glimmer metallic ink and black india ink, then layered everything together to finish it off.
That's all from me. Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you've enjoyed the peeks this past week. Be sure to leave a little love in the comments as you hop about for a chance to win the hop giveaway!
