Smudgy Antics: My first DT post!

My first DT post!

I am so excited to be able to put my very first post as a Smeared Ink DT member up!
I tried to make something extra special, and it kind of got out of control.
I started with a little wooden coffin.
I tried to die it with Tim Holtz aged wood ink, which turned my hands blue! (they are still blue btw)
I added some netting (from an orange bag.. I love to recycle)
I colored the fantabulous image "Frankenhottie" from Tiddly Inks.. made specifically for Smeared and Smudged.. (with my new watercolor pencils)
There was a little mistake when gluing her down. For some reason, most of my adheisives wouldn't work on the coffin, so I had to use my sticky glue.. It leaked ink through my paper and made her look kinda off.. But maybe that's just adding to her quirkiness..
I stickled her and tried to cover up most of the leakage..
Moving on to the inside..
can you hear the creaking?

I trapped a lil grumpie inside with some fairy dust. Hoping this will make him, not so grumpy. Or maybe it will give him special powers. Well have to wait and see.

That's about it. Thanks for visiting me today.
I'm off to find an awesome name for my posting days. :)

Great job on your first S&S DT project, Sugar! I think it came out great! Isn't it interesting how our projects get away from us and come out so different then we imagined? It's awesome!

*To participate, you must make a NEW project that features at least 1 STAMPED or DIGI IMAGE... FROM SMEARED INK ,add it to the post using the Inlinkz linky. Any other supplies and images may be used. Your link MUST take us directly to your project on a PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE blog or website, or it will be disqualified - so please make sure you're linking to your actual post. It must be linked by midnight Pacific Time on the scheduled end date, which will be three days before the end of the month. You must use a new project; back-linking is NOT allowed.

*Your project can be anything (card, scrapbook page, mixed media, altered or 3-D item, etc) as long as it is handmade and stamped somewhere with at least 1 rubber or digital stamp....from SMEARED INK . We have taken into consideration our digital artist fans and will be allowing all-digi projects. Please note that while collage sheet images can be used in your project, the collage image does NOT count as a stamped image. You still need to use a rubber or digital stamp somewhere on your project. Feel free to think outside the box and have fun with your project! We are all about looking at things differently and look forward to the variety of projects and mediums we are sure to see.

*You can only enter the challenge and qualify for a prize if you are, or become, a follower of the Smudgy Antics blog. Also, you must mention Smudgy Antics in your blog post and provide a link to our blog. This helps others to find us so they may play along as well.
