We made it! Today is the last day of the Smeared & Smudged 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop. All the details can be found on Terra's blog. Make sure you check all the past winners to see if you have any prizes coming your way.
I've played in one of my journals again for this last project. This is my watercolor journal, which is cool because I don't have to gesso the pages and the page has a cool texture that shows up when using my watercolor crayons. I may have gone a bit overboard on the background, but I was having fun :)
I started with my watercolor crayons of course. Then I stamped some texture stamps from Unity and CTMH. Then I sprayed with a couple different glimmer mists. I have colored this zombie mermaid (yep my friend Charina drew this) with pencils. When I cut her out and put her against my page she was so bright and glowing I had to try to figure out how to tone her down. I ended up sponging her with purple ink. I added some dots with metallic sharpie and some glitter glue on her fin.
You can find this image and more over on Charina's blog and her shop, Stamp Effect. I had zombies on the brain so that's what she's drawn for me so far but I've seen some of her other work in progress and I can't wait to play with more of her images!
I want to thank everyone again for visiting and commenting each and everyday. It's really helped me to keep going this month. I have a lot going on in my life at the moment and this hop has helped me work out some of my stress and relax while having fun making art. Not to mention all the fabulous projects everyone has made. I have a long wish list of new supplies and images that I want :)
Make sure to leave all the Wicked Bloggers some love and visit all the amazing sponsors stores, they have been so generous with all the prizes!
Happy Halloween!
Next stop Anna.
