Happy Friday! It's day 4 of the 5th annual Smeared & Smudged 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop! Since it's Friday it's also Smeared Ink Day, woohoo! What that means is you'll be seeing lots of creations using images from Smeared Ink. I have used one of my favorite SI sets, Quoth The Raven. It is only available now to the Rubber Club members under Past Offerings. Check out their store for more info.
Another one of my visions that was awesome in my head and not so much once I got it on paper, lol. Played with my water color crayons to create the background (can you tell I LOVE this) Then I use cross hatch stamp for added texture. The skull I stamped on white CS, cut it out and then sponged with orange ink until it was dark enough for me. In case you haven't guessed, the skull is supposed to be a jack-o-lantern. I used some brown ribbon as the stump and some green wire for the vines. Can ya kinda see it??? hehe Oh then I doodled a little bit with a white gel pen.
Thanks so much for stopping by and all the wonderful comments that you've left. Don't forget if you need a refresher on the rules head over to Terra's blog, plus she has the daily hint for the scavenger hunt. Complete blog list is on the left if you get lost.
Next stop on the hop... Trisha.
