31 Days of Halloween - day 16

For todays Smeared & Smudged blog hop project I've decided to continue with my collection of rolodex cards.
I've used Poe on this one from the Quoth the Raven set (Smeared Ink). I had so much fun with the wire and beads the other day I decided to play with them again also. I used orange paper so I was on the hunt for purple and black beads, unfortunately I couldn't find these colors in my stash. So I went with green and orange beads (can you see the 2 black ones I did find) and used purple wire and staples. After taking the pic I'm not happy the way I did his eyes, (sigh) oh well. I might redo that later and then just layer the new Poe on top of the old Poe :) There will be one (or two) more of these cards in my Poe collection so make you you keep coming back to see even more fun stuff.

31 Days of Halloween - day 14

TGIF! I'm so happy for the weekend to be here :) And since it's Friday you know what that means?? It's Smeared Ink day for the Smeared & Smudged blog hop. If any of us wicked bloggers use all Smeared Ink stamps on our project we get some extra brownie points, lol. I've made another altered rolodex card today using my favorite set Quoth The Raven. I will also be entering this into the Smudgy Antics weekly challenge: black birds.Thanks for visiting, don't forget to check out all the other wicked bloggers!

Next stop, Ikes' World.

QKD Challenge March week 3

For week 3 over at Queen Kat Designs, the challenge was a photo inspiration. Here is the photo.....

Wicked shoes right?! Don't you love them!!! I was inspired to pull out my shoes stamps, which I have tons of. (During the day I work for a catalog company and I'm the coordinator for the shoe catalog, so I collect shoe stamps instead of real shoes.)

Anywho.... I decided on this stamp, I have no idea who the vendor could be so if you know please let me know so I can give credit. First I stamped the image in black ink and I knew I wanted to add some bling since the photo inspiration had so much eye candy going on. So I put down a layer of liquid glass from CTMH (love that stuff) and then pulled out some beads. Then after making my selections I carefully placed them into the liquid glass. After I was done adding beads I still had some empty space on the shoe so I used glitter glue in several different colors to fill in. Then I used a blue gel pen to color in the bottom and heel of the shoe for extra color and shine. I framed the shoe with black CS then stamped my sentiment on another piece of white framed by the black card base.

Super fun! I think I'll be adding beads to more projects :)
