Black and Blue

Smudgy Antics Challenge Day folks as it's Monday. This week it's all about black and blue. interpret as you will.
Take this theme however you wish. Black and Blue can be your color scheme, use the words Black and Blue in your sentiment, or bruise up some "normal" stamped image, etc. The more wild and creative you can get, the better!
We like it edgy and dark around here so show us what you've got!


This week I made a card. A "simple" double easel card. In blue and black with a touch of black humour added.
On the left is an image from the "Smitten" set from Smeared Ink. Coloured with pencils.
I added some text to the paper being read. "Man late for own funeral" for those that can't read it and a little thought bubble.

The "stop" is a rubber stamped image of a perfume bottle (Wild Frog Creations) layered up with silicon and dipped in UTEE.
The other side is Smeared Ink's Death Cab, Hearse #3. Coloured with pencils.

Again cut out and cut up to make a 3-D image. The "stop" here is a circle with flowers added to make a wreath. a black organza bow added.

The base is just a length of edge punched black card stock onto the blue cs base.

Now it's your turn. After you've been and visited my friends we'd love to see your interpretation on our theme this week.

  3. Hello Helen
    Dark and Edgy indeed! What a totally different card, and how innovative you are, I think your 3d hearse is amazing, my goodness I am having difficulty in describing this piece of work.
    It is shady and sombre, bold and dramatic your Black Palette is perfect, the pop of Blue is just a Wow for me, the wreath is gorgeous and the bow just ties it together, I have no idea who you would send a card like this to, but no matter it is wonderfully made.
    Thank you so very much for joining us this week at OCC we are very pleased to see your work.
    Smiles:)
