Smeared and Smudged July blog hop

Hello my friends, it's time again for the monthly blog hop over at S&S. The challenge this month was to alter something. It had to be a 3 dimensional object and the only other rule was that it has to have a stamp somewhere on it. So for my project I decided to alter a flower pot.

My first step was to paint the pot and saucer with white paint. While that was drying I stamped the skull (from the Quoth the Raven set) onto white tissue paper with a jet black stazon ink and cut out. Then I used Mod Podge to glue the stamped tissue onto the flower pot. Next I painted pink all over but it looked blah, so I added black stripes to the top rim. Still didn't look right so painted the entire rim black and the saucer black to balance it out. Looked much better but I felt it was missing something so I stamped some circles with a pencil eraser and paint. I think it turned out pretty cute. Wasn't exactly the shade of pink I wanted but it's growing on me.

I think I might add some sparkle later and then apply sealer to help protect it. Super fun to do, I'm going to have to make some more of these :)


Thanks for stopping by, please make sure to visit the other blogs on the hop and dont forget to leave everyone a little bit of love.
