Make Something Using Feathers, Fur, or a Combination of the Two.

Welcome back for another fortnight challenge with Smudgy Antics!

For this challenge we want to see more than just paper, glue and ink.
We want to see feathers or fur or a combination of the two.  We want to you guys and gals to create projects that make us want to reach through the computer screen and touch everything we see!  The more creative the better.  We love it when you guys and gals think outside of the box and make something with that extra "WOW" factor.

Of course we must address the fine print.  Although the focus of the challenge is to use FEATHERS and or FUR, you must still use a stamped image (real or digi) and you must follow the rules posted on the left sidebar of the challenge blog to be in the running for a prize.  Collage sheets may be used to enhance your project, but they do NOT count as a stamped image so make sure you use a stamp of some sort in your final piece.

Pictured below is some inspiration from the first half of the Smeared Ink DT.  

We will post a challenge reminder next week with examples from
 the remainder of the team. 

 You may click on the individual pictures for a larger view and you can visit any of the designers' blogs by clicking on the names above the project pictures.  

I highly suggest visiting the designers' blogs as you can learn tips and tricks on how each lady made her project. 

Leaving a bit of love is always appreciated too.

Now for the sad news.

SMEARED INK will be retiring 6 of their digital stamp sets as well as the singles that go with them.  Come May 20th, these digi images will be gone from the shop forever so if you'd like them you had better buy them before MAY 20th.  If you do buy them, you will save 15% off the retail cost.

Don't be too sad though.

Although you will not be able to get these images in digi form any longer after the 20th of May, you will still be able to get your hands on these totally wonderful sets in real RUBBER!  An 8.5" x 11" sheet of unmounted, deeply etched, red rubber for your stamping pleasure! 

 Check out the details of the SMEARED INK RUBBER CLUB.

Week 2 of GLITTER and GORE with Smudgy Antics

This fortnight at Smudgy Antics, we want to see who has the GUTS and the BLOODY SPARKLE-TUDE to play along with our challenge.  Our hearts will beat outside of our chests with pride, glistening in the light of the glittering sun. 

  The theme this fortnight is 

 GLITTER AND GORE.

This is the last week to get your glitter and gore entries into Mr. Linky.

The choice is NOT OPTIONAL.  YOU MUST USE BOTH GLITTER AND GORE in this challenge or your project will not qualify for a prize.  If you don't own any gory or scary stamps, Smeared Ink has plenty of digis in their shop that fit the bill.  If you are super strapped for cash, you may use any stamp, even a cute one, as long as you add both glitter and gore.  I have seen some amazingly gory Magnolia projects out there in blogland so there is no excuse NOT to play.

We can't wait to see what you guys and gals make!

Remember to use a stamped image (real or digi) and follow the rules posted on the left sidebar to qualify for a prize.  Only the best will win so get your mojos on the ready and get creative. 

Pictured below is some inspiration from the rest of the Smeared Ink DT.
