LOUD and Proud at CASology!

We're getting pretty bold this week at CASology with our new cue card: LOUD!

I went with a birdie stamp from Dylusions (they chirp pretty loudly) and a sentiment

that is definitely an exclamation :) I masked off the left side of the card and swirled on some Black Soot Distress Ink. I also wanted to use some pretty loud (bright) colors

and Copics never disappoint-- blending from tail to beak: R24, YR09, YR07, Y17, Y02, Y000.

Pop over to the DT blogs and Guest Designer pages to scream hi to them too!

Soul on Fire ATC

If I am drawn to any color in the world, it's certainly RED!

When the Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge Blog announced

the theme of the week was "Seeing Red", I knew I was all in :)

Here's my ATC for the week:

Supplies: Ranger embossing ink and powder in Red, Orange, and Yellow, 

Dylusions spray ink, Pitt Big Brush pen, stencils, Canson Mixed Media paper

Happy accident:

I gessoed the heart/flame cut out and then using the dabber to apply the embossing ink all over it. I used a tiny spoon to sprinkle the red, orange, and yellow powders where I wanted them. As I started to heat set them, they started to spread and create the white patches you see. It was the residual moisture in the paper or gesso that rose to the surface and caused the separation. I loved the result! I'll  definitely play with that some more :)

Thanks for stopping by to see my little piece of energy today!

Wicked Wednesday's You Animal ATC

Time to get out the paints, gelatos, inks, and baby wipes! I'm playing along at the Wicked Wednesday ATC challenge blog. This week's theme: #194 You Animal! I had to incorporate an animal in my ATC...so of course two is better than one :)

Here's my entry :)

This took on a much more significant meaning as I continued to build and create this ATC. I'll spare you my deep philosophical thoughts on relationships that look so pretty and interesting, but consume you in some negative ways...soapbox over lol :)

These are some of my favorite stamps! I love these fish from Dylusions. And Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens are amazingly vivid when used straight to paper, undiluted! What a great way to get in my coloring today for Kathy Racoosin's 30 Day Coloring Challenge too!

Thanks for stopping by my blog and checking out my little 2.5" x 3.5" piece of expression! Have a great night!
