LOC #47 - Fairy Tales

This weeks challege at Left of Center Challenges is Fariy Tales and our sponsor is Delicious Doodles.  I've used Eva The Witch.  I've colored her cloak red so she looks like Little Red Riding Hood.  I think this is one gal that the big bad wolf would not want to mess with.

After coloring her with pencils I cut her out and added to a mini journal page.  I used a Tim Holtz stencil called Shatter and sprayed with Black Marble Dylusions ink. I added a spider sticker for a little bit of sparkle.
Stop by the challenge blog to find out what other fairy tales the DT team have decided to share this week.

Smudgefest Day 1 - Mixed Media Monday

Hello my friends!  Today is the first day of Smudgefest 2014, it's the 4th annual week-long challenge and I'm so exited to play along this year.  Check out Smeared and Smudged for more info on this super fun challenge. The first challenge this year is to use at least 3 coloring mediums on your project.  I've decided to create a journal page and here are the items I have used.

After gesso-ing my page I started spraying with my distress marker spritzer. Then I used my ink pad around the edge of the page then I sprayed some dylusions sprays (and a wet paintbrush) to get the drips down the page.  I used my colored pencils to color my Toxic Ballerina from Smeared Ink.

I added a bit of washi tape and added my ballerina to the page with some foam tape.  This wasn't the page that I had planned in  my head but I'm happy with how it turned out AND I got to have some messy fun!  Head on over to Smeared and Smudged to check out all the entries and join in the fun!  

LOC Challenge #23 - Scary Stories

Hello my crafty friends! This fortnights challenge over at Left of Center Challenges is scary stories and our fabulous sponsor is Ike's Art.

I chose to use this scary guy in my mini-journal. I colored him with pencils and then cut him out to foam mount on the page. My background was created with water color crayons, dylusions ink spray and sharpie markers.
Please come join us this week at LOC and play in our scary story challenge.

31 Days of Halloween - Day 23

 Hello once again my friends! It's day 23 of the Smeared & Smudged 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop. To see what this is all about or to see if you are a winner please hop over to Terra's blog.

I've made another mini journal page today. This zombie businessman is another one of my friend Charina's images she drew for me, and exciting news she's working on getting a blog up and running with her images for sale.  As soon as she's all set up I will let you all know :)
I colored him with pencils and fussy cut him out. For my journal page I started with stamping 'beware' in grey and black all over my pages. Then I swiped the pages with my purple ink pad then around the edges with my lime ink pad.  I have this cool stencil from The Crafters Workshop called Mini Branches (TCW208S).  First I sprayed grape glimmer mist then moved my stencil slightly and sprayed with black dylusions. I was messy fun :)  Then I added Mr. Zombie with some foam tape so he pops off the page.

Thanks for visiting and all the kind comments all month long.

Next stop..... Anna.
