Smudgefest - day 1

For the third year running, Smeared and Smudged are hosting a week-long smudgefest - a chance to create quick projects - 24hrs is the maximum and enter into the draw to win a MASSIVE $200 prize from Smeared Ink. The daily challenges, together with more info are being posted on the Smudgy Antics blog so if anyone is looking to enter the normal 2 weekly challenge ( fussy-cut projects) a bit of scrolling will need to be done.
Today's Manic Monday challenge is titled "Bi-Polar" - all about opposites - and a fabulous example has been created by Black Kitten.

My entry features Mr Poe from the Smeared Ink "Quoth the Raven" rubber set as the main image. I also used the raven image from Rick St Dennis for my base paper. The elements on my fatbook page are all taken from the "Tic-Tac-Poe" grid from the challenge at Quoth The Raven challenge blog.

First up - the base paper. The RSD raven image was manipulated in a graphics program so that it, and it's mirror image were tiled before printing. Love the way the raven images form a heart shape like this.
Then the Smeared Ink Mr Poe was stamped on both black and white card, fussy cut out and cut, roughly, in half. The full image then re-constructed using one piece from each colour. The white ink on the black started to go grey, being absorbed into the black I think, so I painted over with acrylic paint and added some texture in the process.

Little flowers were each covered with black and white glitter and attached to Mr Poe's head. Doesn't he look sweet.

Some black and white tulle was stitched together and pleated. The join being covered by stitching on some black satin ribbon. There's another opposite The male EAP has been dressed as a girl, lol.
Some black and white lace and a couple of feathers before our leading character, and that's all the elements of that grid covered.
