January Blog Hop

Welcome to the January Smeared & Smudged members blog hop! Our theme for this hop is "New". So I've decided to use one of my new Smeared Ink stamp sets in my new art journal. I wanted a collage-like feel to this page using only the stamps from the As Death set.
I started with the text stamp in chocolate first and second generation stamping, then added additional images in chocolate, desert sand and cocoa. It was looking a little bland so stamped the lovely skeleton in vineyard berry. The image on the bottom right I stamped in black on desert sand card stock then colored with pencils and cut out to attach to the page. Spritzed some glimmer mist and found a quote I liked.
Make sure to hop on over to all the other blogs to see what "New" things all the gals have created and dont forget to leave them all some love. Blog list is on the sidebar :)

    Your art journal page is beautiful, I really like that quote - sometimes it's difficult to find that inner stillness. TFS Steph, Dianne

    I love the collage of stamps as a background. That is one of my favorite SI sets. I really like how you alternated the colors and the quote is very fitting! Great job!
