October 18~ 31 Days of Halloween Wicked Blogger Challenge Day 18

Hi! 

Welcome to Day 18 of 31 Days of Halloween! The Smeared and Smudged 31 Days of Halloween Challenge is to create a daily project using a stamp, rubber or digi, and run from there. Remember to pop over HERE to Terra's blog to see the daily Scavenger Hunt prizes donated by our awesome sponsors and find the daily clue. You can also see all the rules there, too. For your reference I have the Wicked Blogger Hop list on the ride sidebar:)

Today is my Bat Tribute! I used a free piece of clip art I found at The Old Design Shop Blog for the picture on the piece. The Old Design Shop is another super fun place for clip art of the vintage variety!

I tinted the clip art with Distress Inks after I printed it out on cheap photo paper. The Night Terrors clip is from an Altered Pages collage that I was fortunate to win in the Scavenger Hunt also printed and tinted the same way. The bats in flight stamp is Unity. 

Have a spooky Saturday!

Thanks so much for looking and your comments make my day! If you have any questions, just ask:)

*big hugs*

October 17~ 31 Days of Halloween Challenge Day 17~Friday Smeared Ink Day

Hi!

Welcome to Day 17 of 31 Days of Halloween! Each Friday the optional challenge is to create using a stamp, rubber or digi, by Smeared Ink. Remember to pop over HERE to Terra's blog to see the daily Scavenger Hunt prizes donated by our awesome sponsors and find the daily clue. You can also see all the rules there, too. For your reference I have the Wicked Blogger Hop list on the ride sidebar:)

For today's picture I used my favorite Grumpie Digital Stamp as well as Cloudee, both offered by Smeared Ink. Under the photo is the recipe if you are interested:)

The digis are colored with Distress Inks and a water brush. I used Sharpies and Bic Mark It pens also.

Layered under the images is tissue paper colored with Distress Ink.

The skeleton paper was a free digital paper from The Coffee Shop Blog. Check it out if you have never been there, her papers and Photoshop Actions are awesome, so much cool stuff there!

Under the skeleton paper is some Tim Holtz tissue, Melange.  The substrate, shhhh don't laugh, is a scrap piece of cardboard.

I think that is it for the recipe, please ASK if you have any questions:)

~Hugs~ and thanks so much for hanging in there with all of us!!

October 16~ 31 Days of Halloween Wicked Blogger Challenge Day 16

Hihi! Happy Haunted Thursday!

Welcome to Day 16 of the 31 Days of Halloween Challenge by Smeared and Smudged. I am participating as a Wicked Blogger which means, simply put, one new project and post each day of October. This rocks and is so fun! Please visit Terra's blog HERE for all the details AND to get your daily scavenger hunt clue.

Today is some fun tag play. I really had no idea what to make, so I just played. I did pull out a tag that had the background made a bit ago. And just went from there....

Happy Hopping and I hope you enjoy your stay here:)

Remember to click each image to see it bigger. I love playing with  texture, embossing and tissue layers.

The stone skull image is from an Altered Pages collage page that I won from the Scavenger hunt, thanks so much for the freebie:)

I love this steampunky Curious bird from the Graphic 45 set I love....

I wanted to say I am incredibly grateful for all the visits and wonderful comment everyone has left! It makes me all smiles and so happy! And, gives me reason to carry on! Thanks and *hugs*

Happy Wicked Wednesday!

Day 15 of 31 for the awesome 31 Days of Halloween Challenge by Smeared and Smudged. See the cool shop HERE. If you are wanting to see all the wickedly cool art by all the super talented artists, you can follow the blog hop Blog Roll there under the Neon Skele on the right sidebar.

For your consideration today I have this portrait. This poor lady is always in a state of mourning. Don't feel sorry for her, she knows exactly what she is doing this spooky season.

Click image to see it larger:)

The lady and strawberry are free clip art images from The Old Design Shop. The lady image is dated 1889. The skull is a vintage anatomy free image from The Graphics Fairy.

I layered them and then printed them out on heavy paper. I used Distress Inks to watercolor them lightly.

The floral background I made using the bottom part of a bunch of celery, makes fun rose shapes! I dipped it in acrylic paint and stamped onto tissue paper.

The frame is painted with Distress Paint and layered with tissue stamped bats. The Love Potion stamp is by Graphic 45. The tag is inked with Distress Ink Vintage Photo and sprayed with water to make it blotchy.

If you have any questions, just ask:) I don't mind.

Thank you for spending some time here today! Now Hop on!
