Bone to pick with you

Today on the Smudgy Antics blog a new challenge has gone up...YAY for Mondays!

the challenge this week is "bone to pick with you" and you can interpret that any way you wish...I went with the word bone...and used my Death image from Misty Benson's Morbidly Adorable Tarot Set

this was my first time inking up this stamp...and I really must do it more...I love it!
I made the background paper with alcohol inks and rubbing alcohol to give it kinda a marbled look, then stamped my image, and added puffy paint to their eyes to make them stand out more...and then I stamped my "happy Birthday" stamp from the occasions grumpies set (they just look like they are ready to party to me :) added some bling and there I have it!

be sure to check out what the others have created this week, and enter the challenge for yourself...to win a free Halloween digi...

Blog Hop

Welcome to the Smeared and Smudged Blog Hop!!!

the theme for this month's blog hop is "Pieces and Parts" Use at least two stamp or digi images combined to make a "new" image or focal point on your project.

and here is my creation

I took a girl from the Chicks dig guns set and the wings from Quoth the raven and made a new image...kinda an angel of death sort of feel....I used the mask technique to get the wings on her.

I colored her with colored pencils, the gun too...then I liquid glassed the gun to make it really stand out...I was inspired by a scene in the Rock N Rolla challenge this month...in the music video a cop drops something in the water and she is black and white and the water is blue...it was really cool! that and I loved making my grumpie card earlier this week I just had to try it again...and I didn't do to much else to this and I love how it turned out...it may become a wall hanging instead of a card...hmmm

now that you have heard me ramble...go check out what the rest of the members have for you...here is the hop list if you're lost...your next stop should be Heather

Metal Mania

This week's Smudgy Antics challenge is Metal Mania
"This one is easy: Use metal in your project! It can be a piece of metal, a metal base, a metal color, or even Heavy Metal (for all you headbangers out there)."

and here is what I created using stamps from the Candy is Dandy set

I played with some wire I had while watching TV and I just loved it...so I added it to this card to make it perfect! I colored my ice cream cone in pencils, stamped the background paper, and only stamped part of the "sweet nightmare" senti....
I followed the sketch for the Fussy and Fancy Challenge

grab some metal of your own sorts and play along this week...a super cool digi is the prize for one lucky winner!
be sure to check out the other DT creations and leave lots of love!

Grumpie Scream!

here is my latest grumpie card...its been so long since I have played with these guys!

I love this card! I embossed the "scream" from the "lonely boy and puff" Smeared Ink stamp set, and the patterned paper is a stamp from the "quoth the raven" set. The skulls are from Creepy Glowbugg...and ya...not much else was done to it...and I really like how it turned out...simple and scary! I really wanted him to stand out so I framed him in red so he could be entered into the Haunted Design House challenge this week "I was framed"

Fearless

at Tiddly Inks this week the challenge is "to create a reading-inspired project"
so I did mine off surprise a horror book!

I took Frankiee and colored her up and put her on some cuttlebug embossed paper added some blue creepy glow skulls, and then put a Mary Shelly quote from Frankenstein and there I have my reading-inspired project!
the quote says:

"Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful."
— Mary Shelley (Frankenstein)

thanks for taking a look!
