31 Days of Halloween - Day 31

We made it! Today is the last day of the Smeared & Smudged 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop. All the details can be found on Terra's blog.  Make sure you check all the past winners to see if you have any prizes coming your way.

I've played in one of my journals again for this last project. This is my watercolor journal, which is cool because I don't have to gesso the pages and the page has a cool texture that shows up when using my watercolor crayons.  I may have gone a bit overboard on the background, but I was having fun :)

 I started with my watercolor crayons of course. Then I stamped some texture stamps from Unity and CTMH.  Then I sprayed with a couple different glimmer mists. I have colored this zombie mermaid (yep my friend Charina drew this) with pencils. When I cut her out and put her against my page she was so bright and glowing I had to try to figure out how to tone her down.  I ended up sponging her with purple ink. I added some dots with metallic sharpie and some glitter glue on her fin.

You can find this image and more over on Charina's blog and her shop, Stamp Effect.  I had zombies on the brain so that's what she's drawn for me so far but I've seen some of her other work in progress and I can't wait to play with more of her images!

I want to thank everyone again for visiting and commenting each and everyday. It's really helped me to keep going this month. I have a lot going on in my life at the moment and this hop has helped me work out some of my stress and relax while having fun making art. Not to mention all the fabulous projects everyone has made. I have a long wish list of new supplies and images that I want :)

Make sure to leave all the Wicked Bloggers some love and visit all the amazing sponsors stores, they have been so generous with all the prizes!

Happy Halloween!

Next stop Anna.

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.

31 Days of Halloween - Day 29

I can't believe these are the final days of the 5th annual Smeared & Smudged 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop. It's flown by so fast, in case you missed anything head over to Terra's blog.

I'm so excited to show you all another stamp image by my friend Charina. She's getting closer to setting up her blog and zibbet shop. This zombie fairy was colored with pencils and fussy cut out. The base is lime CS and the black paper is from last years Halloween pack.  Can you tell my favorite pencil is the chartreuse?! She's got a toxic look to her with the glowing green skin, even my son walked by and commented on how "trippy" she looked.

Thank you all for stopping by once again, this years hop has been amazing!

Next stop... Anna.

It's day 26 of the Smeared & Smudged 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop.

It's been so fun to play along this year. If you are new to the hop and want to find out whats going on please visit Terra's blog.

Here's my quick card for today. The image is from an older CTMH set, stamped in black. I used some glimmer mist to create my border along the bottom then I added some red gems. Simple but I really like how it turned out.

Thanks again for stopping by, next stop ...  Anna.

31 Days of Halloween Day 25 and LOC #17

Hello my freaky friends :) I have a couple projects to show today so I won't be too chatty. First up is the Smeared & Smudged 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop. Check out all the details on Terra's blog.  It's Friday so you know what that means right?!?!?  It's Smeared Ink day!

I made a project and then realized it was SI day so had to think of something quick. I decided to play in my mini journal again.

I used my fabulous Poe stamp. Then I knew I wanted to use my sprays and a stencil but didn't feel like cutting out a mask, I know I'm lazy. So I decided to just use my rubber stamp as a mask, which resulted in a ghost like shadow around Poe. First I sprayed with Sugar Maple Glimmer Mist, then I added my stencil and sprayed my Black Marble Dylusions. A quick but fun page.

Next up is my DT project for Left of Center Challenges. The theme is Halloween / Creepy. Easy peasy if you are already playing along with this hop.  The sponsor for this challenge is Rick St. Dennis. (Who is also one of the sponsors for the 31 Days hop). I got to play with Mr. Shadows.  

I colored him with pencils then fussy cut him out to add to my card. The papers are from last years Halloween stash.  Rick has also opened up a shop on Zibbet, you've got to check out all the images he has available!

Well that was way more chatty then I figured.  Next stop is Anna.

Happy Friday!

31 Days of Halloween - Day 24

Hello again! It's day 24 of the 5th annual Smeared & Smudged 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop, check out all the details on Terra's blog.

I've made a card today with Succubus 5 from Smeared Ink.   The way she was sitting reminded me of a gargoyle so I colored her silvery grey so she might look like stone. :)

Sorry for the short post today, I'm exhausted.

Next stop Anna.

Thanks for stopping by!

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.

31 Days of Halloween - Day 22

We are almost to the end of this fabulous journey organized by Smeared & Smudged. For all the details and to see the daily winners head on over to Terra's blog.

This freaky little gnome was drawn by my friend Charina. I've been telling her for a while that she should use her awesome drawing talent to make some digi stamps. I asked for a zombie gnome and boom the next day she sends me this fab image!  I colored him with pencils and used some foam tape to pop him off my card. He's not wearing the traditional gnome colors, but he's a knife wielding zombie gnome so I wasn't about to argue with him.  The sentiment is from an older CTMH set in my stash.

Next stop in the hop... Anna.
