APCC Week 14~January Catch-Up :)

Hi!

Happy New Year!
Hope you had a safe fun filled Holiday Season!

I used this week to catch up on my card pairs for the Altered Playing Card Challenge with the lovely hostess Claudine! You can see all the details HERE.

And here are my two cards. Week 14

I drifted away from Claudine's gorgeous cards, but kept the spirit hopefully!

I used Distress Stain on the backgrounds on top of the gesso on each card. Then I partially dried it and then splattered some water to spot it.

I used white embossing powder for the snowflakes. The Distress Ink takes a very long time to dry on the gesso, so some spot were still damp. This grabbed some of the powder but I like it. It made it look extra snowy:)

The images are digital stamps by Tiddly Inks Called Cookie Bugg and Christmas Pixie. I colored them using Bic Mark It and Sharpie Markers.

Thanks for looking!

Day 12 of 12 Days of Creepmas Smeared and Smudged Smeared Ink Day

Welcome to Christmas Eve's Eve!

This is the last day of the 12 Days of Creepmas 2014, organized, hosted and sponsored by the incredible ladies at Smeared and Smudged! You can see all the details HERE at Terra's blog. Then please do hop over and check out the Smeared Ink shop, it is packed with must-haves!

The Jolly Blogger Hop roll is there to the right if you get lost along the way.

This twelfth day is also a Smeared Ink day in which we bloggers are challenged to use Smeared Ink images, rubber or digital.

And, here we go!

I found a small real life "tree" at the dollar store the other day. It is an evergreen, I think it is a Juniper, it smells wonderful. The cutting looks like a small Christmas tree. So of course, what could I possibly decorate it with???  Grumpie ornaments!

Excuse the harsh flash picture, I wanted a brighter photo of the cutie Grumpies :)

Lastly, a simple sentiment card!

The Steampunk Reindeer is also Smeared Ink like the Grumpie. I colored the reindeer then scanned him into the PC. I added the text digitally. The blue background I layered from photos my son took of the Grumpie tree, playing with long exposures.

I hope this made you smile! I had a blast with Creepmas though it seemed a bit more crazy that 31 Days of Halloween. Just the Season I suppose!

Season's Creepings, may all your dark art shine on into 2015 and beyond!

I thank you truly for all your awesome visits and kind words along the way and sharing your precious time to follow all of the bloggers on this amazing journey!

~great hugs~

Today I colored a wicked image by Rick St. Dennis, Creepmas Tree Monster. You can see it HERE at his Zibbet shop.

"The Spirit of Bahhh Humbugg", subtitled "Don't look for the guy in the red suit. I ate him!"

I colored this wicked tree then scanned it. I layered the image in Photoshop Elements onto a background I made with free use images from Pixabay.

Bahhh Humbugg
