The end of my calendar - November-December is here

Time for my DT-inspiration here at Smudgy Antics and now I'm on the last page of my calendar!
This page is November-December and as usual for this calendar I've used another of Alexandria Serrano's fabulous images. =)
The one for this page is from the Winged things rubber stamp set and I colored it to look a little like winter and added glitter to the wings and used glitter pen for other details. Otherwise it's colored with my trusty promarkers and I added a dark blue card stock behind it, so it would stand out on the snowflake paper.

To be able to participate in the challenge, you have to use atleast 1 Smeared Ink stamp for your project! =) Also post a direct link to your blogpost and not only to your blog, so that we can find you creation at once! =)

"Pieces of Me" altered jigsaw puzzle pieces!

Happy Tuesday to you all!

It's my turn again to inspire you and today I'm sharing 2 altered jigsaw puzzle pieces that is part of a larger collaborative project hosted by one of my friends, who you all know at Smeared and Smudged, Kristy Lee!

"Pieces of Me"

The images I chose to represent 'Me' are the Raven, the Vampire Cat as well as portions of the Witch Hat and Pumpkins from the Smeared Ink exclusive rubber stamp set I designed, Autumn's Pencil.

Stop by DominoART for more details and don't forget to check out
our current Smudgy Antics challenge, which are always "Anything Goes"!

 Have a fabulous week!
Happy Stamping!

a little broken...

Hi there...

I am having two ATCs to show you as inspiration on the blog today.
First of I stamped some rubber backgrounds from the urban decay set by Smeared Ink on scrapbook paper. Then I made an image transfer on sticky back canvas. Painted heavy layers of  distress crackle paint and set to dry over night and it almost feel like leather when its done because of the canvas. Painted the surfaces with two shades of  copics. The hears is also from the rubber club and colored with copics. The text is just printed out in fonts that I like...

I hate taking picks at night...it is so freakin hard to show them  justice.... ;)

Do not forget to take part in the monthly challenge that you can find as an icon in the left hand side bar of this blog.

Thank you! / lisa

Inner Demon Inspiration...

Hi,

Some inspiration from me  this Saturday and I hope that those of you that are watching this is doing fine and got the creepmas black feel going this season :)

Made an mixed media kind of page...don´t know what to call this? Maybe someone else knows!? There are so many different names on these things...

I´ve used a new digi stamp from Smeared Ink made by very talented Alexandria Serrano "Inner Demon". colored it with copics. The black hands behind the image is a grumpy from the rubber club at Smeared Ink. The barbed wire is rubber from the rubber club as well called "urban decay" and the senti is from the rubber club too :D from the "as death" set. The background is a scrapbookpaper and I covered the page with mod podge.

I hope you like it..

Thanks!

ANYTHING GOES WITH SMUDGY ANTICS, WEEK 2 OF 2

Welcome back for week 2 of 2 of the fortnightly challenge with Smudgy Antics.

This Fortnight's challenge theme is:
"ANYTHING GOES"

We love when you guys and gals think outside of the box.  The more creative and inventive, the better!  You know those projects you WANT to make, but would be shunned from mainstream sites?  They are accepted here!  We get down and dirty.  We like it real, raw, and in your face!  Let your artistic expression fly freely or not as the case may be.  ANYTHING GOES..... everything is welcome....as long as there is a stamped image (rubber or digi) somewhere on your project.

We would also like to take this opportunity to inform our followers that this will be the last Smudgy Antics Challenge on this blog.  After the end of the "Anything Goes" challenge and winner announcement on December 1st, 2013, we will be discontinuing the challenge blog and moving the challenge to the Smeared and Smudged Forum in order to keep all of our awesome challenges available in one spot. 

THE FORUM IS FREE TO JOIN.  The challenge will still be called the "Smudgy Antics" Challenge and will be found in "The Challenger" group on the forum.  We will continue to offer a prize from the Smeared Ink Shop.  The Smudgy Antics Challenge will now become a monthly "Anything Goes" challenge.  Find out more details on the Smeared and Smudged Forum on December 1st, 2013.

I highly encourage those who are not currently members of the Smeared and Smudged Forum to come on by and check us out.  Network and socialize with other stampers.  Learn cool techniques in the newly revised Mixed-Media University, find out how to craft on the cheap side in the "Cheapskate Crafter" group, and express your feelings through art in the "Art Journal Everyday" group.  There are many other challenges offered (with prizes) as well as monthly member blog hops, monthly ATC swaps, a Birthday Club, and so much more!
