Saturday inspiration with new image...

It is my turn to get your mojo going...

I´ve made a mixed media art journal kind of page. Started of with some torned scrap paper with winter feel and added with mod podge. Second layer is white gesso. Used a NEW powerful image "release" made by Alexandria Serrano and you can find this image along with a whole bunch of other fantastic images in the Smeared Ink Shop. I´ve used posca pens, copics and acrylic paint to doodle with. I´ve also used some glimmer mist, stencils and background stamps.

Thank you for watching my project!

Week 2 of DRIPPING with Smudgy Antics

Welcome back for week 2 of the fortnight challenge with Smudgy Antics!

For this challenge we want to see how you ladies and gents can incorporate DRIPPING into your projects.  The more creative and out of the box the better!  We want to see how far you can take this challenge.  
 The more imaginative, the better your chances of a win. 

If you have no clue what to do, you may use any medium that drips (faux blood, water colors, paints, enamels, etc).  You can use an image that has dripping on it (a zombie with dripping blood, a monster with dripping saliva, etc).  You may even use punches or die-cuts with a dripping edge.  There are so many ways to apply dripping to your projects so there is no excuse NOT to play along with us.

Please refer to the left side bar for a reminder of the rules.   If your stamping is not evident, please explain where or how your stamped image was used in your project.  

Pictured below is some inspiration from the remainder of the 
Smeared Ink DT.  

 You may click on the individual pictures for a larger view and you can visit any of the designers' blogs by clicking on the names above the project pictures.  

I highly suggest visiting the designers' blogs as you can learn tips and tricks on how each lady made her project. 

Leaving a bit of love is always appreciated too.

USE TEXTURE IN YOUR PROJECT WITH SMUDGY ANTICS - week 2

Welcome back for week 2 of the fortnight challenge with Smudgy Antics!

For this challenge we want to see more than just paper, glue and ink.

We want to see TEXTURE and lots of it!  

We want you guys and gals to create projects that make us want to reach through the computer screen and touch everything we see!  The more creative the better!  We love it when you guys and gals think outside of the box and make something with that extra "WOW" factor!

Of course we must address the fine print.  Although the focus of the challenge is to use TEXTURE, you must still use a stamped image (real or digi) and you must follow the rules posted on the left sidebar of the challenge blog to be in the running for a prize.  Collage sheets may be used to enhance your project, but they do NOT count as a stamped image so make sure you use a stamp of some sort in your final piece.
This is the last week to play along with the TEXTURE challenge.
