Use Embellishments with Smudgy Antics - Week 2 of 2

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

The theme for this challenge is to

Use Embellishments.

We couldn't have made it any easier on you guys and gals this week!
Just make sure to use a stamped image (rubber or digi), add some embellishments and be sure to read and follow the rules posted on the left sidebar of the challenge blog and you are golden.

Get creative and don't be afraid to think outside of the box. We embrace all forms of stamped art and love seeing original and diverse projects. You may enter cards, scrapbook pages, tags, atcs, altered objects, mixed-media projects, etc. The more creative you get, the more likely you are to be the chosen winner of the challenge.

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