WICKED WITH WINGS

Hello Monday Peeps,
This week at SMUDGY ANTICS - the Challenge is "Wicked with Wings".

We are curious to see your take on this challenge.  What does "Wicked With Wings" mean to you?  Are you afraid of flying stinging insects?  Do demons haunt you in your sleep?  Have you ever seen a fae?  Is a bird your familiar?

  Get creative and don't be afraid to think outside the box.  We can't wait to see what you come up with!  BTW, you do not have to make a card.  We also accept altered items, art journal pages, mixed media pieces, etc.  As long as there is a stamped image and you follow the rules on the left sidebar at Smudgy Antics, it's all fair game. 

 I have used 'Quill' from the Gargoyles set by Smeared Ink and teamed him with a little freebie I got from A Day 4 Daisies. Both are coloured with Copics. The backing is a generic pikkie of kitchen shelves with various sauces cut and pasted thereon. :-D 

I hope you will come over and see what the other Inkies have on offer for you and maybe you will be inspired to play along :-D See you there ? xxxxx

NEW SMEARED INK IMAGES

Here I have another image which is new from SMEARED INK and is part of the 'Monster Heart' Set. His name is Corneleus.
My card is made using gorgeous free papers from LeeLou, Nesties and a Martha Steward punch. I edged all the elements using Versacolour ink in red. I coloured Corneleus digitally and printed him 3 times so I could fussy cut and decoupage him. I layered him up with silicone, added some charms and voila !!

If I'd known I would've finished this in time, I could have put him as one of my DT projects I doubled up on, but Hey-Ho. :-( xxx
Here's a look at the whole collection. These were drawn by Terra's (of Smeared Ink) daughter... who is just 12 years old !! Cooool eh ??

FAREWELL TO SMUDGY ANTICS DT :-(

Well, sad news or what ???!!! The current Design Team term at SMUDGY ANTICS has ended...boo hoo, sob, bawl :-(  I have had such a great time and it has really flown by. I would like to thank Tori and Terra for letting me create for them during this term. It has been a blast. xxxxxxxxxxxxx
This week your task is to use this sketch - you can flip it, turn it, whatever you fancy, so long as your creation still fits within the sketch outlines.

So, on to my farewell project. I decided to put loads of Smeared Ink images onto it just for the laugh. :-D  I've got a Grumpie, a Stitchy, a Fem Dom,  2 Heebie Jeebies, a Steampunk birdie - Bluebird Rider, Watchful Eye, Calypso the Rat, a Glam Vamp (get the Smeared Ink shirt !!) and a Zombie driving the snow plough... and of course... he's scraping a fair few Tildas out of the way to make way for the darker characters !!! LoL

Snow plough pikkie 'borrowed' from the Net. All Smeared Ink images (and Tildas)coloured digitally.
A big THANK YOU to Smudgy for letting me come and play and Farewell to all my DT chums.         Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

VERY SKETCHY CHALLENGE AT SMEARED & SMUDGED

Here is my Triptych for the Very Sketchy Challenge at Smeared & Smudged Forum. You can make a Triptych Card or there is a lovely Scrap Page Sketch too. This month's sponsor is IPPITY and the Prize is an $18 shopping coupon :-D 

For my card I have used 'Valentine papers' from Panda Bear Designs and Smeared Ink images from the 'Heebie Jeebies' Set - Cyclops, Mody5 and Kingston.

I used my Nesties with the bottom chopped off so it would stand up and my one and only TH distress ink. Everything has to be green 'cos it's the only one I have - it was a prezzie :-D xxx
Images are coloured with Copics and stuck on 3D with silicone glue. I think it works :-) !!

RUDOLPH DAY 2

Hello again,  and welcome to RUDOLPH DAY 2 LoL  How could I resist messing in pretty, pretty land with a semi - gory Chrimbo card ???? Hmmm ?? Well - I couldn't.  My friend made a comment about me having to have a lie down after my first Rudolph Day creation, so I guess she will, after I slap this baby on her Blog Challenge. Bwaaahahahahaha.  Her Blog is called STAMPING FOR PLEASURE. 

I have used "Serial Killer Santa" and his "Sack" from Smeared Ink and the corner peeping Dog is my own digi from a set of Christmas Corner dogs I did :-D


Come on now - rush over and join in and you could be getting your Chrimbo cards done at the same time as maybe winning a prize :-D :-D xxxx

WOO HOO - HAUNTED DESIGN HOUSE

Hello Peeps,

It's me with my  2nd project as a Macabre Minion at Haunted Design House . The Theme this week is 'Metal Mania' and boy, am I excited. !! I  tried out a new thing with tin foil as I didn't have any sheet metal hanging around at the moment.   So - without further blurb, here it is....

OUTSIDE:

INSIDE:

For the Outside, I have used 'Criss Cross Corset' from the Heavy Metal Set by Smeared Ink. I painted the whole image with glitter glue (that's why it looks green)and then coloured the fastenings with gold pen.  The background was made using all the other images from the Heavy Metal set arranged on white cardstock. The edge of the card was smudged with silver and gold ink. I cut a plate from the inside of a take-away box which had a metal foil interior, and I used aluminium tin foil glued on cardstock to cut out my flowers and leaves.

The Inside has 'Monster Boy' from Dilly Beans Stamps, and I have coloured him digitally and cut him out 3 times to decoupage him in 3D layers. I also gave him some kooky googly eyes which are hilarious when you hold the card and they wiggle...  snort !!!   I added a handmade tag and sentiment with a little silver bow. So - all in all - loadsaMetal :-D xxxxx

"Metal Mania"

You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween-based art piece

that uses, includes, or depicts metal in some way. 
You can go very literal with metal embellishments or metallic papers.
Or you can use the Metal music genre for your muse, or maybe some
industrial H.R. Giger type stuff.
Make it dark if you dare!!
