Welcome back!

I wanted to take a moment to tell you how impressed we were with last week's Easter Egg projects. You all rocked that challenge!

We are going to be easy on you this week. This week's theme is:

ANYTHING GOES!

Yep, anything goes as long as your project contains at least one stamped image (rubber, clear, or digital) and follows the rules posted in the left sidebar. You do not have to make a card. We also accept altered items, art journal pages, mixed media pieces, etc. If you do not follow the rules, one of which is to be a follower of the Smudgy Antics blog, your project will not count towards the prize drawing and may be deleted.

For your inspiration, here are some projects from the Smeared Ink DT:

Weekly Challenge - EGGstatic!

Welcome Back for another fun challenge!

With spring here and Easter just around the corner we wanted to do an EGGstra special challenge this week.

This week we are challenging our devoted followers to decorate an egg.

Keep in mind, a stamped image (rubber, clear, or digi) MUST be used in your project and you must adhere to the rules posted in the sidebar on the left in order to qualify for the random draw. If you are in need of some alternative Easter images, Smeared Ink has some new digis in the shop!

Are you up for the challenge?

Because we know this may be a hard challenge for some, we will also accept projects that are egg shaped or contain egg shapes. We do hope that many will actually try to decorate an actual egg or plastic egg though. Why limit your stamp use to cards when you can embellish all types of items with your stamps?

Step out of your comfort zone and dare to be different.

Grow as an artist by trying something new.

Get inky and painty and get supremely messy.

Most of all, have fun!

For your inspiration, here are some projects from the Smeared Ink DT:

Remember, be sure to link up by Midnight on Saturday PST to qualify for a prize then check back on Sunday for the random draw winner.

To be eligible for the coveted top three badge, be sure to use at least one Smeared Ink image.
