here is a card I made using one of Simply Betty's new mermaid images...the FB challenge is Good vs Evil and we got to choose what mermaid we wanted...and of course I chose evil  >:) her name is Spika

I love this image...she was so much fun to color...I colored her in pencils and added glitter to her scales and tail...I put her on some green paper and added some green skull paper some lil jewels and some felt rick rack...such a fun image!

I would like to enter this in the Crafter's Cafe as my third and final entry in their anything goes challenge

Spoon necklace

Monday again :( but like every other Monday before there is another Smudy Antics Challenge beginning YAY!!!

This fortnight the challenge is simply METAL, thats it...just use metal somewhere in your project and your good!

here is what I created

I made my whole project metal....I saw on pintrest somewhere someone was making metal spoon neclaces and I thought...I could do that...so I printed my gear heart wings image from Smeared Ink colored it a little and added some glitter to the wings and glued it in the spoon. I added a few drops of alcohol ink to color the spoon a bit, then I added a bunch of gears and watch parts to the bottom of the spoon and covered the whole thing in liquid glass...I love how it turned out.
then I decided this necklace needs a home...so I go an old necklace box and covered it with duct tape then I took some gold paint and a rag and went over the duct tape to kinda get the edges to color a little, then I stamped images from the Urban Decay stamp set from smeared ink in stayzon ink and ya there it is!

be sure to check out what the other DT members have done and enter this challenge for yourself!

have a great week!

Octipode halloween in July

today I have an art journal page to share with you.

there is a challenge over at the Octipode Factory and it is Halloween in July...with a challenge like that how could I not play along?!?

 

so I took my Morticia Addams image and colored her up, then I went crazy on a packground with paint and stamps from Smered Ink's Quoth the Raven set....I can't even explain what I did it was just messy fun....then I took some black Alcohol ink and splattered it on my page (mostly to see what it would do...and it was way cool!) then I stamped out my senti (with CTMH stamps) and glued everything down...added some teenie tiny bats and there I have it...

oh did you notice there is glitter on her dress...cool huh?

oh ya and I wanted to show everyone my super cute new necklace! Alison made it for me here is the link to her shop if you want to check out what else she has.

isn't it cute? I picked out the "eggs" for my lil nest for me (beige) my husband (dark blueish) and my lil one (light blue) and ya thats my little GIRL in batman pjs...she loves them and runs around the house like crazy...lol she's nuts!

and can I just say...this is very well made! and I'm not just saying that because me and Alison are friends...but really it is!

Chris Isaak go walking down there

today is the midway reminder for Chris Isaak's music video challenge over at the Musically Challenged blog, and I have had this created for the past week but I wanted to save it for today so I could remind everyone how fun this video is to create something for...here is my creation

I made a fat page and I used 4 of SSD's images (I just love them) I took my "Chris Isaak" (he is actually that guy from Twilight) and I put him kinda outside where all the girls are hanging out and being happy (the girls are Roller girl, lingerie Lindsay, and sassy in the city Miranda) I colored everything with pencils, and for the guy's background I stamped my Smeared Ink Quoth the Raven background stamp. The girl's background is from some pink floral tissue paper that was in a gift to my lil one and I just crumpled that up and glued it down then added some bling flowers and my quote from the song....this was a blast to make, and it came together so quickly...don't you just love when that happens?!?

thanks for stopping by...be sure to check out the other team's work and enter the challenge for yourself!

into the wild

Monday again :( buuttt its not all bad...today is the first day of the new challenge at Smudgy Antics!
This time the challenge is "into the wild" fun huh? and so many ideas...we were all talking about what images we could use and the list seemed to be endless!
I finally decided on an image and here is what I came up with

 isn't it fun! I wanted to do a new card fold so I went to Splitcoaststampers and found a tutorial called "Bendi Fold" so I printed out my smeared Ink tattoo fairy with the zebra wings (I figured the fairy was wild and the wings were too...double points) I found this background image at the Fantasy backgrounds store I printed it out and then cut up my card painted the outer bits and stamped some mushrooms from the killer bo peep set and colored them up and stuck my fairy on one of them (after coloring her and glittering up her wings of course) distressed my edges and I'm done...so much fun to create!

now you must go over and see what wild things the Smeared Ink DT has created and then enter this challenge for yourself!

Killer BoPeep X 2

its getting to the end of the month...this means crunch time :) I always have things half created and then forget about them until its deadline time....
so today I have an ATC to share with you...here she is

 so I got this Killer BoPeep from the Smeared and Smudged Freaky Freebie challenge...where we are all given an image and we get to create something with it for the challenge....I have this set in rubber (where the senti came from) but having her in digi is awesome because now she is the right size for an ATC...for my background I ripped up some masking tape and put it all over my paper...then I painted it purple, then I stamped some sheep heads allover (again killer bopeep rubber stamp set) and then I stamped out my senti and cut it up and put it on there and then my image...easy peasy...

so here is the story with my image...I colored her then I lost her so I printed out another image (bigger this time...different idea) then my lil one got a hold of the new printed image so I put it aside for a while...then I was cleaning her room and found my first printed colored image...so I finished my card and continued to let lil one play with the image she stole and this is what she created...

isn't she so artistic?!?!

Peek a boo geisha

Happy Hump Day!!! today is the Bombshell Hump Day hop brought to you by the bombshells and their lovely hostess Alison! for the theme this month we got to use "Textures and Layers!"here is what I have created

 

I used the  "Peek-A-Boo Geisha" she is a digi image and I printed her out and then used another stamp I had for her umbrella (like I needed another design she comes with two super cute options...I mostly did it just to see if it would fit...you know me I have to be different)  so I colored my geisha and her umbrella, then I made an embossed circle with swirls in it and made them a blue/teal color...made some background paper with my big ginko leaf stamp...then I made some lil circles with Japanese writing on them...typed up my Happy B-day senti in some Asian looking font. and added more colors and layers some pink brads, and I just love how it turned out! oh and I followed the bombshell sketch for this month! I love sketches and there's nothing like two birds with one stone :)

Musically Challenged #3

Saturday was the start of a new challenge over at Musically Challenged and the music video this time is a long one...its Alice Cooper's Along Came a spider...its a small movie I guess...its 3 songs.

this is what I created

 I went crazy with paint...I put down some tan and some blue and some grey then went over it with stencils in black and splattered some red then wrote "what I want, what I need" all over in light colored markers then wrote it again big in white.

Rick St Dennis MFA is our sponsor and he let us work with an image and I chose "art will set us free" and I added shading to her straight jacket and I had fun coloring her hair then I added some glitter to it (everything needs a bit of glitter) and I did a bit of a white wash before I added her to my journal....this was so much fun to create and I'm happy with how it turned out.

be sure to take a look at the blog at how others interpret this music video and then be sure to enter for yourself for a chance to win some RSD images

and remember the DT call is still open if you'd like to join.

Dripping at Smudgy Antics

Its Monday grrr... well there is something good about today, its the beginning of a new challenge at Smudgy Antics!!! This fortnight the challenge is dripping!!! here is what I came up with

 I made this out of paper and cereal boxes (cereal boxes is the junk funk of June at Smeared and Smudged) I had so much fun creating...for the big one I painted it purple then took my circle background stamp from candy is dandy and stamped all over then added some silver swirls and then some blue glitter swirls then glittered up my butterfly from the specimen jars set and glued that on and added a bunch of antennae and added a jeweled border I picked up somewhere. then I added my red dripping from melting a crayon :)

Then I created another (because it was so much fun) I just printed out the Venice Mask Wall and added some green glitter then my dripping crayon again...these were so fun to make! I was inspired to make them because of the June GDT challenge over at Smeared and Smudged which is Masks that and I just watched Masque of the red death again...love that Vincent Price!

Just Like a Pill

Monday was the beginning of a new challenge over at Musically Challenged!
 last challenge was so successful I'm hoping this one will be too...

the challenge this time is to use the music video Just Like a Pill by Pink

and our sponsor this time is Ike's Art 

I decided to make a get well soon card :) I thought I was being clever :) I colored my image (muse4) with pencils then used a paper nib and some paint thinner to blend....I took some lil red jewel things and painted them to look like pills and added some gauze and some crinkle black paper and black paint just all sorts of messy goodness :) in all honesty I forgot to stamp my card with my get well soon stamp so I had to type that but the real stamp looks allot like that :)

thanks for taking a look...go join in the fun and check to see what my other teammies have created for you!

skull appreciation day hop

Its finally here! Happy Skull Appreciation Day!!! 

today Smeared and Smudged is having a rather large blog hop...full of amazing arts and talents! so I'll try to make this short and sweet so you can get around to all the participants....the list is at the end of this post...eeee have fun I know I will.

So for my offering today I have an altered box to share with you

I took my white box and painted some texture paste on it (thinned down) then I went over that with some purple shimmery paint, then over that with black and while the black was still wet I stamped my fence stamp from Quoth the Raven from Smered Ink all over (dry stamp, just to pick up the black) then I wrapped the top of the box with some purple trim, then I made my cameo with some molds I had ordered from Etsy and painted them black and took some silver rub n buff to them to bring out the details..added some pearl thingies and there it is I just love how it turned out…oh and with the bottom I did the texture stuff then silver for contrast.
