the Goblin Queen

Simply Betty Stamps er en av de digistempel-produsentene jeg har aller mest motiver fra, sånn EXTREMT mange ~ sikkert 500++ ikke inkludert tekster.. jepp, bare fargelagt noen dusin av dem, men Betty har veldig ofte bundles/kjempegoe rabatter og freebies så jeg får liksom aldri nok ;)

I absolutely LOVE this stamp company, can't ever get enough ~ and it shows, probably got 500+ digi motivs, not including all the lovely text stamps by SBS.. I haven't even inked up more than a couple dozen of them, but I keep on hoarding anyway, as Betty always do awesome bundles n discounts, too good to pass up on *lol* ;)
This cool Goblin Queen (reminds me of one of my fave movies the Labyrinth ~ 'MAGIC Dance' vid on youtube ~ perhaps she's a female Jareth?) was a freebie on Betty's Facebook group however. You should join if you want to be in a real creative, fun, a bit crazy and friendly group of fellow crafters :)

Luminarte Twinkling H2o's Shimmering Watercolors, and Tim Holtz Distress Ink pads & markers to watercolor and distress image and papers. I have used alchol ink on the heart-charm to alter the color ~ very useful for all those bits and bobs u have lying around that never fit in, color-co-ordinate to make them fit your project!

The detailed image to the left shows some of the lovely shiny glitter that comes from the H2O's :) Glossy Accents on details too. Heat embossed text. The background of the image was made with a stencil and I masked the image first. Got all of the Distress Stains from Blitsy this xmas, and finally got to play with them: Dusty Concord, Seedless Preserves, Picked Raspberry + sponged on some Tumbled glass & Broken China. I usually HATE using pinks n pastels, but with Tim Holtz' distressed colorpalette I find that I really LOVE them ♥
