Mr. Hyde Good and evil

today I have a "fat page" to share with you...this one is for a few challenges...and it was loads of fun to make!

isn't he bad ass? I love him! he is Mr. Hyde from Stange Skin's Famous Monsters Collection 2 and I colored him with pencils, then I inked the edges of my image...and the senti is a quote from one of the Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde movies....
the Junk funk challenge at Smeared and Smudged is to use Tea...so I took some old book paper and made drips of tea some red tea (fruity something or the other) and some brown tea (coca or something). The challenge at Smudgy Antics is "Full moon madness". And the challenge at the Haunted Design House is a "strange brew"
2layers-card and tea dyed paper
1 main image-Mr Hyde
Metal bits-swirly things holding the trim
drops of black pearls- black pearly dots in the corners
1 punched element- lil sparkly bat in the moon
ribbon or trim- funky trim
also there is a challenge at Fat pages with Atttitude- anything goes
Marks Finest Papers-Metal
Forever Night Challenges- Metal Me

I want you

here is my latest ATC (if you haven't noticed I'm really into these lately)
this one I created for the Stampotique challenge thats going on right now...the challenge is "outside the box" here is my creation.

so I made this card and tried thinking outside the box in ways to apply my paint so I used a credit card for the lines and a baby wipe for the dots and the stars were sprayed (nothing new there) I also tried to make a patriotic card yet not your typical patriotic...I really like how it turned out!

I would also like to enter this in the Wicked Wendsday ATC challenge: F-word (flag) and the Friends of SpeedyTV challenge: 4th of July

Murders in the Rue morgue

today I have an ATC to share with you...this one is for the Quoth the Raven challenge going on right now...its based on the story Murders in the Rue morgue....and here is my creation

I cut my ATC size then I painted it with dark blue and red, then I stamped some of my quoth the raven stamps (the skull and the words) then I took my images and cut them out then went over them with wax to make them look kinda like velum, and added some "blood" to the razor and glued it all together.
I would also like to enter this in the Forever Night challenge Freaky Friday-anything goes

the game is Hopscotch

there is a new challenge over at The Game I hope you'll come play with us...the game is Hopscotch

You are to create something you can hang on the wall or a door, it must be no smaller than 4" X 4".

Write down the 8 items and toss them in a bowl (hat). 

Pick  out two from your hat (bowl). You will use those 2 items in that number. You of course, may use other items in your creation, 

but you MUST use the items you chose.

so I have created this 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 wall hanging

 

I drew out #1 and #3 so I used 1 Delicious Doodles image and 3 textures, for the first I took some yellow paper and covered it in white glue then painted it with black acrylics then dried it and it cracked, then I took some white paper and coverd it in corstarch pasted that I tinted with black paste and made lil peaks and stuff to give it texture, then I added some UTEE over my image (just sprinkles) to make it look bumpy and cool.
so there are my textures...the image I just colored the rose...I love how it turned out...oh and to make this hang on the wall I added a soda tab as the hanger :) now I'm good to go

I would like to enter this into the following challenges
Delicious Doodles: 1 image 2 colors 3 textures
Crafts and Me: Anything goes
Simon Says Stamp: anything but a card

I'm watching you

I finally got around to playing with one of my new Kenny K images! I created something for a few different challenges...here is what I came up with

isn't she awesome! her name is Delores Dammage, and she was lots of fun to color.
I used pencils then added a bunch of glitter to her hair and boots, the black paper is tissue paper glued to CS, the red paper is red acrylic paint, and the patterned paper is stamped with my tattered angels flowering vine stamp. then I stamped my senti from Smeared Ink's grumpies set.
For the Kenny K challenge I added allot of "Jazz" like I said all the glitter then ten lil gems. I followed the Sketch at Smeared and Smudged's very sketchy challenge, and I think its Pretty Creepy (smudgy antics) with an Eerie Elegance (HDH) ;)

Somebody that I used to know

I have another art journal page to share with you
This one is clearly inspired by the music video Gotye- Somebody That I Used To Know

if you haven't heard this song you must! it is awesome!!! I downloaded it and now neither me nor the hubs can get enough...seriously I just had it on repeat like 5 times :)

for this page I made all the lines...not sure what to call them...but they are shapes, and it was fun...then I took out my acrylic paints in browns silvers and greens, and painted all the spaces, I printed out my girly pin-up (from Ike's Art) and colored her hair then painted her skin to match, after everything was dry I wrote the lyrics in some of the spaces and took out my cuttlebug and cut out the title to the song...I really like how it turned out and it was so much fun to do...you may see something similar in the future.

oh ya the reason I chose this music video is well I didn't choose it Smeared and Smudged did...every month they have a new video to inspire us to create..its called the Rock N Rolla challenge.

I would also like to enter this page in the following challenges:

the game is Chess

Bombshell May Blog hop

Today is the bombshell hump day hop and the theme is May Celebrations...what we were to do is to pick a holiday that is celebrated in May...there are allot to choose from
and on May 18th it was No dirty Dishes day so I have created a page inspired by that....

 

that flower is created by plastic spoons...plastic spoons = no dirty dishes :)
 I melted them over a candle and formed them into a flower...this was my first attempt and I don't think it turned out so bad...I did spray paint it black because I burned it a few times...but thats ok I probably was going to make it black anyways :)
the page is a two pocket album page I found the how to on youtube, it was some patterend paper that I didn't like but after some crackel paint and acrylic paint it turned out pretty cool. I stamped my bombshell and colored and cut her out, then stamped the word heartbreaker right on my page, and made two tags to go inside my pocket....

wadda ya think? kinda cool huh?
hopefully my next spoon flower will be better and there will be a next as it was kinda fun to make
no go check out the rest of the Gals! here is the list

"In Playing cards especially poker, "Jacks are Better" to open. So this challenge is for us to show us  your creations using your JACK... a Face Card Jack...or an image of a face card Jack."

here is my creation

I have created an ATC out of a jack playing card
I used alcohol inks in green and yellow, then wen around the edge of the card in black and put green glitter around the jack's lil border, then I stamped my senti (on another card like a 4 or something with allot of space) then cut that out, added black to the edges, and glitter...glued it all together and there I have it!
please come and play along with us! here is the link oh and don't forget we welcome all works of art we don't turn anyone away (this is why we have an adult content warning)
be sure to check out my other fab DT buddies jacks!

your mamma don't dance

I have created another journal page, this one is for a few challenges...and the more I look at it the more I like how it turned out...

I took my two Stampotique images and stamped them and colored them up, then I painted my pages purple and those black things (with the staples in them) are actually grocery bags...cool huh? I melted them! there is a junk funk challenge at Smeared and Smudged where you reuse some junk and grocery bags was the junk of the month :) so I glued my people down and my song lyrics down and added some bling to the bow tie, her necklace, shirt and headband, then some glitter around my words, and there I have it

I would like to enter this into the following challenges....
Dilly Beans-Bling

Its finally here! the first challenge of the Game...a new challenge blog for all kinds of art (therefore we have made an adult content warning...just incase)...you must go check out what the DT has done...we are so diverse!
The challenge is a tic tac toe board and all you have to do is get 3 in a row (you know the game)
here is the board

and here is my creation

I used an image I found on deviantart by Paulee1 and all I did was I added glossy accents to her axe.

for the challenge I used dry embossing...I embossed my paper then took my brayer and rolled some purple and orange paint over the raised parts. I added eyelets to the corners of my main image, and staples wherever I could...the flower was made from the TH tattered florals die.
now go check out the challenge blog for yourself and see what the other awesome girls have created, then enter this challenge for yourself...here is the link


speaking of challenges...I also would like to enter my card into a few others, first off there is the Quoth The Raven challenge blog, the challenge is based on the short story The Pit and the Pendulum...see the pendulum behind the girl...creepy huh?

next is the Smeared and Smudged "very sketchy" challenge...trust me I started with the sketch but it kinda evolved into this.

~Edit~

I forgot to mention how my flower was made
there is one purple flower on the bottom that is just card stock but the black ones are coffee filters I got wet and painted with black acrylic paint. 

there is a new art challenge blog in town! and I'm on the DT!!!! YAY ME!
go check it out and be sure to follow because there is a new challenge coming up on Sunday you wont want to miss...I'm off to put the lil one to sleep so I can hopefully get some crafting done!

Devil in Disguise

today I have another entry in my art journal to share with you...unlike the last one...I really like how this one turned out!!!

I was inspired by the Stampotique challenge-Oodles of Doodles...so I filled one whole page up with lyrics  (from Kristine's Tune by Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman) and did a border and some squggly lines, I put all that on top of some torn up book paper that I spray inked, then I stamped my girl in black and glued her to the page...this was super fun to make...the dots around each letter did take forever and I probably wont be doing that again :) but the rest was fun...
{lyrics say: She's the Devil in Disguise, you can see it in her eyes, she's telling dirty lies}

PINK

I have another art journal page to share with you
this one is using the song Pink by Aerosmith
I painted my page pink, then used a template and sprayed some black magic glimmer mist, then I made my lil tags and printed my lyrics. I then printed my Dilly Beans image and colored her up, glittered the hearts and then glued everything together...added some fun threads to the tags and I think thats it...
I like that my zombie girl has crazy eyes...this is kinda how I feel about pink...I hate it...but I do like that song for some reason...maybe because Aerosmith ROCKS!

I would like to enter my page into the following challenges
Dilly Beans: Pink and black- this was where my inspiration came from

Friday the 13th blog hop

Its time for another Smeared and Smudged member's blog hop!!! and I got to play this time...my lil one has been so good and has given me time to craft! so I made another art journal page...
the theme for this hop is Phobias "WHAT ARE YOU SCARED OF? Step outside your comfort zones and share your phobias" ok so here it goes...now don't laugh...although I wouldn't blame you if you do its kinda silly....but I'm Lepidopterophobic...meaning I'm afraid of Butterflies...crazy huh? it started in middle school...and ever since then they have just freaked me out...I'm not alone...I once read that Nicole Kidman is afraid too (don't know if its true but I saw it somewhere) so here is my page...

this art journal is my musical one, every page is going to have a song lyric on it...so this one has "scared, scared, scared" from John Lennon's song Scared.
I painted my background with acrylics, then I used my lonely boy from Smeared ink and used the toilet paper form technique from the Mixed media university on Smeared and Smudged…then I painted him and glued him on my page. I then printed out a ton of butterflies that I received from the Octopode factory colored them all up added sparkles to some, and glued their bodies down so I could fold up their wings to give them dimension…then I wrote lepidopterophobia and scared scared scared in a white paint pen…and there I have my phobia page…I really like how it turned out…the blue paint is shimmery and the sparkle on the butterflies is kinda cool….

Please stop by the rest of the ladies on the hop to see their phobias (I think there are like 20 awesome huh?) then check out the forum if you like what you see and join us next month ….your next stop (if your going in order) is Lisa Hall
