Day 14 of the 31 Days of Hallowe'en

For full deets on this Freaking fangtastic Blog hop organised by Smeared Ink and The Smeared and Smudged forum, please hop on over to Terra's blog. All the info on the days sponsors are there as well as any other info you think you might need.  The blog hop roll is there in my side bar.

Good morning folks.

I have another tag for you today. Not so simple but great fun to do. Just took a bit of masking to achieve.
It is the second week of the Smudgy Antics challenge. The theme for this is
ALL SMEARED INK
Whatever project you submit must be made using only Smeared Ink Stamps. If you're lucky you'll have previously joined the Smeared Ink Rubber Club and have loads to choose from any way. If you aren't, all is not lost because there are loads of digital stamps available in the shop as well.

The tag uses three of the images from the Haunted Places rubber stamp sets. Yet another set drawn by Rick St Dennis exclusively for Smeared Ink.
Masking the front two images to place the third then masking that to apply the distress inks for the sky and foreground. All the images were coloured with promarkers. The word "Haunted" is stamped using the credit bit on the stamp set - the bit that gets overlooked very often and thrown away by some.

So whilst you are making those projects for 31 days of Hallowe'en, spare a couple of minutes and come link up those All Smeared Ink projects so we can all see them.

Thank you for all your kind comments in this marathon, they are really appreciated.
See you all tomorrow
