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...

Smeared Ink bibs

I had so much fun with the April Guest DT Challenge! I'm so happy with what the theme was...
this is over at the Smeared and Smudged forum if your lost....

here is a direct copy of what Helen said "April heralds Spring. The start of the cycle where life blossoms. We all know of at least one lady in our lives that is pregnant. A new life started. My challenge to you all is to think "New Life" and to make a "something" for either that Mum in Waiting or the New Life she is nurturing"

How sweet is that...and how perfect for me :)
so off to W-mart I went and bought a 6pack of bibs and here are 2 of them (the others are drying or waiting further inspiration)for my Red bib I used The Fool from the Morbidly Adorable Tarot Set...I stamped it with black Stayzon Ink and added stickles to the eyes and the border....


the Yellow one are the oh so cute lil grumpies with the saying "I do what I want" (I fear my child will be like me and my DH....stubborn!)


and that's all I have for you for now...I will totally share the others as they are completed...so keep an eye out...in the mean time go check out the other inspiration in the forum and hurry and enter a challenge or two...there is still time:)
