It's the SNARKY 200!!!


You read that right - it is time for the 200th challenge here at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!!! We started way back in February of 2014, back when Corona was just a beer, and Instagram didn't exist! And here we are, still going strong despite (because of?) our collective snarkiness. And while we usually welcome snarkless creations, for this landmark challenge, it's ANYTHING SNARKY GOES!  And if the invitation to be snarky isn't enough, the winner of this challenge will win a $10 gift to Lost Coast Designs, who is generously sponsoring us! (Check out this link to see some of their snarkier stamps!)  


This is an anything snarky goes challenge, but a lot of the sisters were in a snarky Christmas mood, including me:


If you have an actual stamp set of snarky Christmas cats, it seems a shame not to use them! :D I added a little extra grey shading to the cat, and coloured in the lights before adding Glossy Accents for dimension and shine. 


Just for fun, I made a second version with blue bulbs, for a friend who has a white tree and all-blue lights:


Check out all the snarkiness on the Sisterhood blog, from the team and our current Queen of Snark, Michelle! This special challenge will last FOUR WEEKS, so pile on the snark and join us! 

Supplies: Neenah white cardstock, Craft Smith red card base (for red & green card, Sunny Studio subtle grey tones patterned paper (for blue card), Stampers Anonymous/Tim Holtz Snarky Cat Christmas stamps, MFT extreme black ink, Copic markers, MFT wonky stitched rectangle die, Glossy Accents

Ink-Blended Happy Birthday - and a Scrap 'n Stamp Giveaway!

Happy Friday! It’s a happy day for me, as I'm sharing my first post on the Scrap 'n Stamp blog today! It might just be a happy day for you, too - I have a Scrap 'n Stamp giveaway to share! 


Here's my card: 


Rainbows and gold are hard to beat, even if it is after St. Patrick’s Day! I’d never attempted ink-blending a panel before hot foiling, so I decided to give it a try. For my rainbow, I used distress oxides in spun sugarfestive berrieswild honeybundled sagemermaid lagoon, and wilted violet.  My favourite part is flicking water onto the inks and blotting with a tissue to get all the fun splotches. Going all out, I also added some gold and black spatters, as well.
Once my panel was dry, I let my 
Gemini FoilPress heat up, and foiled my sentiment with gold, adding the little “to you” underneath. Turns out I have a million "for you" stamps, and had to really search for this "to you". The card still wasn’t sparkly enough, so I matted my rainbow panel on some Concord & 9th glitter cardstock. My last step (which now I realize might have been one step TOO far, LOL) was to add some black Nuvo drops on either side of the sentiment.


Thanks to Scrap 'n Stamp's generosity, I am giving away the Glimmer faux script happy birthday die I used for this card, as well as two rolls of Gemini foil, in gold and silver shimmer. For your chance to win, leave a comment here and on the Scrap ‘N Stamp blog. You can enter until March 31st. All my Scrap 'n Stamp teammates have had or will have giveaways of their own this month as well, hint, hint. ;)
