Smeared & Smudged - 12 Days of Christmas - Day 2

Welcome to Day 2 of Smeared & Smudged Forum's Twelve Days of Christmas, hosted by the great ladies at Smeared Ink ! For today, I made an ornament to hang on a garland. This year is a very Skelly Christmas in many ways. LOL

The base is an embossed piece of purple foil which is backed by black cardstock. The main image is from Misty Benson's A Skelly Christmas rubber stamp set, sold by Smeared Ink. I stamped it on 7 Gypsies music paper cut into the shape of a tree and colored with pencils & markers. At the top is some of my spun fibers I made with Angelina & wool, and added a few beads. As soon as I find the fishing line, I'll add the hanger part hahaha.

Smeared & Smudged - 12 Days of Christmas - Day 1

For the first day of Smeared & Smudged Forum's 12 Days of Christmas I made a tag:

The tag background was made using these instructions by Tammy Tutterow, which is a debossed tag that looks icy since the debossing is filled with a crackle finish. I used Deco-Art's crackle finish rather than Tim Holtz's Crackle Paint in Rocky Road, since that is what I had. The stamp is from Smeared Ink stamp set "A Skelly Christmas" that I colored with pencils & silver ink. The snowflake buttons are really old, like me, but I colored them with silver stamp ink, added some ribbon and voila!

Smeared & Smudged Forum - November Member Blog Hop

Good Morning! Our challenge this month was to create a project in the "steampunk" fashion, and I'd started making a mixed media doll from Creative PaperClayBest laid plans...found out that yes, paperclay will burn in the oven LOL, or at least scorch. In lieu of the doll I'd planned to post here is a sketchbook that I covered in a "Steampunk" fashion.

I used a piece of Graphic 45's "Steampunk Debutante" line as the background. The main image is from the original Steampunk digi line at Simply Betty Stamps colored with Derwent Inktense pencils. I also used the Geared heart from Smeared Ink colored with markers & Distress Stickles in Old Brass. I added a couple of metal pieces/gears from 7 Gypsies & ribbons to accent.

Since I made a second body for my doll I'll try to finish that one up shortly. Anyway, thanks for looking! The Blog roll is to your right ------>

Am also entering this on the Smudgy Antics Challenge Blog, the challenge is to "alter something".

TOFF Challenge - "Halloween"

This is a card that I made for The Octopode Factory Friday Challenge this week. The theme was Halloween. I used Lily's generous freebie Witches Hat along with the March Hare digi image, both of which were colored using Derwent's Inktense pencils. I made a little trick or treat bag using a paper bag. This was mounted on 2 pieces of DP - simple card but I just love Lily's awesome images. She rocks! Thanks for looking

31 Days of Halloween - Day 24

Alas, tis but another flower, but later I'll have something bigger & better to show. (Please forgive the crappy scan, it hates 3d items)

The center image is a cat from Martha Stewart's Halloween magazine that I cut out.

31 Days of Halloween - Day 23

Good Morning,

Today's offering is a card:

The main image is "Bratty Little Witch" digi from Rick St. Dennis - she just cracks me up to look at her. I colored her using Derwent Inktense pencils (these are the best watercolor pencils since they are actually vivid ink in solid form, paint like watercolors, and once dry you can work over them using other mediums, in other words they're permanent.) Mounted the image onto black cs, added some ribbon & a Making Memories snowflake/star & mounted it all onto a piece of Halloween paper. Then I added the senti digitally.

Thanks for looking, and check out all the awesomely, talented bloggers (list on the right)!
