Smudgefest - Day seven

WOW. The last day of this little challenge being thrown over at the Smeared and Smudged forum's DT blog - Smudgy Antics.
It's been hard work but also a blast.
Today we were challenged to use "Calypso" in our creation. A little freebie digi available just for the day. A cute little rat.
I made a scrapbook page. A very simple one. I used two other digis from Smeared Ink as other subjects. All coloured with promarkers. I just couldn't get the idea out of my head. So went with it.

The dancing ladies fitted the theme and they're weird enough to fit in. The other paper from the Pink Paislee, Hocus Pocus range.
The letters are die cuts.
As I said, I couldn't shake the idea they were doing the "Hokey Cokey". Been that kind of a day.

Smudgefest - Day five

FLOWING FRIDAY

Create a project using a flowing medium. Some examples could be watercolor, liquid ink, liquid glues, thinned out acrylics, etc.... use your imagination and let the juices flow!

So many choices. Which to choose today?
I went with acrylic paints.

The skull was "decorated" with watered acrylic paint first.
Then, using the BoPeep Build a garden set again from Smeared Ink, stamped onto tissue paper for the flower images and onto card for the spiders. I used the colour scheme from day 3 for the most part. Promarkers used throughout. The flowers were adhered with mod podge and the spiders held in place with acrylic glue substitute.

The pics aren't the best due to the time of night.

Smudgefest - Day four

TWISTED THURSDAY

Make an ATC with a "twist". You can interpret "twist" any way you want to, this is just one interpretation. ATC size: 3 1/2" x 2 1/2"

That's our challenge for today.
Had a long think on this and was only just before bedtime I came up with this. As it's a one day challenge, I had to stay up and finish. Oh well, maybe I get to lay in tomorrow.

Two of the Smeared Ink mini Grumpies from the original set. Stamped directly onto blue card and coloured with promarkers. Some of the sentiments from the same set with a couple of added ones from me.
The twist? Firstly, the Grumpies themselves have twisty bits on them. Then there's the twisted wire to make a flower, more wire twisted round a stone and last but no means least is the twisted ribbon rose that I made.

Smudgefest - Day three, A colour challenge

Wicked Wednesday in the week long Smudgefest being held over at Smeared and Smudged, Smudgy Antics Blog. Today is a colour challenge. Using the colours Pumpkin Orange, Mustardy Yellow, Dark Gray, Deep Purple make something with at least one Smeared Ink stamp on it.
Today I have made a tag. A very simple one at that. Using the birthday Grumpy. Coloured with promarkers in the set colours.
on the back which is made from orange cs distressed with some weathered wood DI, I have attached a dark grey mini envelope with the "sentiment" on and inhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif. Also a few beads, again in the challenge colours.

Smudgefest - day two

Terrifying Tuesday!!
I don't own any of the really terrifying images from Smeared Ink. I can't think of any that terrify me anyway. So I went with what would. Also something that would terrify any male with half a brain cell. Another page in my art journal will have to suffice.


To find myself in a room with pink flowery wall paper and no door to escape would be my nightmare.
The image is of course from Smeared Ink's "Chicks dig guns" set. This was in a grab bag recieved the other day. It is coloured with promarkers and fussy cut out. The pink flowery is from a pad of paper for babies that was in a RAK. The impression of the corner of the room by using DI. some dark orange/brown paper for the floor.

This is being entered into day 2 of the Smudgefest challenge being hosted on the SmudgyAntics Blog all week
