31 Days of Halloween - Day 30

Hello my friends! By now you know this is the Smeared & Smudged 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop, and if you want to find out the current clue or past winners you have to start at Terra's blog.

I've played in my mini journal again for today. I started by gluing down some book pages. Then I swiped my lime ink pad over both pages. Next I sprayed some grape glimmer mist and stamped my border stamp. This fabulous skeleton is from Paula Best.  I stamped him on CS then cut out, I only colored a portion of him with pencils and a little bit of gel pen. Oh and the spider is a sticker from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by!

Next stop Anna.

12 Days of Creepmas - Day 3

Welcome back to day 3 of the Creepfest! Visit the Smeared & Smudged blog for all the deets.  Today I made a tag in Christmas colors :)

The skeleton butterfly image is from Paula Best.  I've embossed the background and used direct to paper technique to ink it up in lovely green.  The black swirl is a die cut from MFT.  I'm still deciding on the ribbon or fibers to add.... might need to make a run to the craft store for the perfect one :)
Next stop on the hop is Susan.  If you get lost along the way all the blogs are listed on my sidebar.

31 Days of Halloween - day 19

Welcome back once again for the Smeared & Smudged Halloween blog hop. Did you know there are prizes available each and every day?! Even if you can't comment on every blog (altho we all love comments) you can lurk about to find hidden images, how fun is that! Check here for details.

I decided to go with a tag for today's project. I cut a mask for my moon and then sponged blue ink over the rest of the tag. The tree and raven are both from Paula Best Stamps and the fence is from an older CTMH set. The raven stamp has a small ball in it's beak so I found a googlie eye that fit in that space, hehe. I added the raven with foam dots so he pops of the tag a bit. Thanks for stopping by, please visit the other wicked bloggers along the hop and leave them some love :)

Next stop Ikes' World, not only does she have an awesome project she also has some blog candy! woohoo.

31 Days of Halloween - day 6

Whew, I really should have started early on getting all my projects ready for this month long blog hop (sponsored by Smeared & Smudged). I just couldn't get a project I was happy with today, but on my third try I came up with this. On this lovely little ATC I've used an image from Paula Best Rubber Stamps. First I stamped in a white dye ink on black CS and it was ok but I wanted some more oomph! to the project so I got out some of my gel pens. I added a row of orange gel dots around the outside of the image and some purple dots on the inside. Then added some more, I really like how this turned out. You may be seeing more of this 'cause I super duper like it, hope you do too!

Thanks for hopping by... next stop Ikes' World.

Triple Tiara Challenge week one

The theme for the March week one T3 challenge over at Queen Kat Designs Blog  (yes I'm a couple weeks behind) ... is to use alcohol inks or destress inks. So that inspired me to break out my Alcohol Inks that I've had about forever but never took out of the package.

The colors I used are from the Nature Walk set - butterscotch, wild plum and stream. After applying the inks I used blending solution. I'm really pleased at how this turned out and can't wait to get more ink colors :) I attatched this CS onto a black card base. I used Jet Black StazOn to stamp my skeleton from Paula Best onto white glossy CS and cut out. I decided not to color in the skeleton because I didn't want the detail to get lost and thought with the colorful background having it just black and white really makes it pop.

~happy stamping~
