Sisterhood of the Snarky Stampers - S is for...

This was a fun stretch for most of the Snarky Sisters - I probably spent 2 weeks just shopping around for digis that I might want to work with, and there was so much choice I couldn't choose! I did finally settle on this fun Cogsley Copperpot image from The Stamping Chef. 

Supplies: digi gal from The Stamping Chef; Dylusions sentiment; Mod Podge Dimensional Magic; paper from Kaisercraft; those AWESOME gears from a forgotten corner of my stash; Peacock Feathers distress ink; SPECTRUM NOIR MARKERS: TN2; EB2, 7; BT1, 2, 4, 5, 7; FS3,7

After colouring, I had to gloss up those AWESOME boots, her eyes, and of course the goggles on her hat with Dimensional Magic. 

Since I used exclusively Spectrum Noir markers, I'm entering this card in their background challenge - I used some of the same markers used on the image itself to dot around it & create a background. And since this is my first Stamping Chef card, I'm also entering their Anything Goes challenge.  

AND, you know you want to stretch your crafty horizons & play steampunk with us! You've got 2 weeks to link up (by July 11th) - and stop by & say hello to my sistahs:

Tiddly Inks & Spectrum Noir

This card ended up  taking a left turn from my original idea - monochromatic purple - but I love how it ended up! Still having fun playing with my Tiddly Inks images, and last weekend I increased my Spectrum Noir marker collection (hello purples!) and had a chance to play along with the SN Facebook challenge & Tiddly Inks sketch challenge.

Supplies: Tiddly Inks Flying High digi; Cuttlebug embossing folder; Corner Chomper; Mod Podge Dimensional Magic; home-made enamel dots; paper straw, eyelet, twine, seam binding from stash. SPECTRUM NOIR MARKERS: 

EB1; FS8,9; PL2, 4; BT2, 4; OR1; CT1,4 

Shiny balloons!

I made the background using several of the same markers that I used to colour the image, pressing lighter/harder to vary the size of the dots. This is my current absolute favourite background technique (as you'll see with my Snarky Sisters card in an hour or two). 

Here's the sketch from Tiddly Inks:  (open until Monday)

(I used the straw in place of the banner)

and the Spectrum Noir background challenge is also open until Monday.
