MAKE IT COLOURFUL..... WITHOUT MARKERS OR PENCILS.


A fortnight has passed and it is time for another challenge with Smudgy Antics.
  We want to see you ladies and gents make a COLORFUL project WITHOUT using colored pencils or markers of any kind.  That's right!
 NO COLORED PENCILS OR MARKERS OF ANY KIND ALLOWED.
Are you stumped?  It really isn't that hard once you start thinking outside of the box and
 are willing to give different techniques a try.

You can paint with acrylics, oils, water colors, inks, or even perfect pearls.  
Here is a tutorial on painting with Perfect Pearls.  
If you are not into the painting thing, you can give pastels or paper piecing a try.  Heck, you can even use your own blood, but I don't really recommend that unless you're doing a small project like an ATC, an inchie, or a twinchie :D

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.  Blow us away with your talent.  Surprise us with a new technique.
Make something that has that "Wow" factor and leaves us staring at the monitor and drooling like zombies as we gaze upon your piece with awe.

Here is some inspiration from part of the Smeared Ink DT.  We will post a challenge reminder next week with examples from the other half of the team.  You may click on the individual pictures for a larger view and you can visit any of the designers by clicking on their names above their project pictures.  I highly suggest visiting the designers' blogs as you can learn tips and tricks on how each lady, and our honorary male, made their projects.  Leaving a bit of love is always appreciated too.
