WINNER OF THE BURNT OFFERINGS CHALLENGE

Many thanks to everyone who enter our  BURNT OFFERINGS challenge this fortnight, we had wonderfully scorched, singed,sooted and burnt entries.
As always it was an incredibly difficult job to choose just ONE winner .....  this time we couldn't..... i even did two re-counts.... so our winners are...... IKE and JOYCE ANN!

IKE made this wickedly funny card.... complete with fake burnt skin.

   JOYCE ANN created this beautifully elegant card using the soot stamping technique.

These two cards are so different, different styles, different techniques but both wonderfully inspiring.

Well done .... IKE and JOYCE ANN....Thank you BOTH so much for joining in our challenge.... congratulations ......you haveBOTH won a voucher for SMEARED INK store and a WINNERS BLOG BADGE.... please contact us at smudgyantics@gmail.com

See you tomorrow for a brand new challenge.
