December 11 Smudgy Antics Inspiration

Time for me to inspire you all again here at Smudgy Antics, this time I made a card with the fabulous Brass the Steampunk reindeer. =) 
It's colored with promarkers and I added some glitter pen too! Found a scrap of corrugated cardboard to use as a background, inked the edges and added a dp behind it and a brown cs as the cardbase!

Don't forget to add you creation with a Smeared Ink image to our Anything Goes challenge! =)

Creepmas inspiration...

Hi,

I have a card to show of for inspiration this saturday. With Creepmas hop going on I thought it would be cool to show some creepy christmas stuff ;)

The very talented Teri Shermans images is now available in the Smeared Ink shop and I´ve used the digital image "creepmas centerpiece" for my card. Colored with copics. Added some glossy on mini skulls and candle. Branch punch from Martha Stewart and some black chalk on edges of all papers.

I hope you can join our Challenge this month "Anything Goes Smeared Ink"

The only requirement is that you use a 

SMEARED INK image....

REAL RUBBER or DIGI.

Thank you!

Smudgy Antics Dec 4th DT Inspiration

Time for me to inspire for the new challenge here at Smudgy Antics, now that we are up and running again! =)

So stop by here and read about the challenge, don't forget that you have to use Smeared Ink images to participate in the challenge and since the theme is "Anything Goes" it's easy peacy! =)

I used the Steampunk candycane and colored it with my promarkers, cut it out and layered a background using a brown cs, then bit's and pieces from Panduro's Christmas collection Deadly Sweet Christmas! =)

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.
Click here to find the InLinkz.

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!  

Posted below is some inspiration from the Smeared Ink DT.
