COLOUR CHALLENGE - 2 WEEKS TO PLAY!

                                                    

              Welcome back for another challenge with Smudgy Antics!

The challenge theme this week 
is a COLOUR CHALLENGE.

Not only do you get to be inspired by VINTAGE CHRISTMAS COLOURS, but the challenge will go on for TWO WEEKS!  Yep.  We would like you to be able to play along and also have time to spend with your loved ones over the holiday season so we are giving an extra week to complete the task at hand which is to use at least 3 of the colours in the bar below.  I know monitors vary with their colors so we have named the colors as well so you may get as close as you possibly can to the colour scheme at hand.
I dare you to try to use them all ;)

Using at least one stamped image (real or digi) and following the rules posted on the left sidebar, we at Smudgy Antics challenge you to get your 
Vintage Christmas Colours on display!   Show us how crafty you can be! 
You do not need to make a vintage project, just use the vintage colours.

You can stick with paper crafting or you can go three dimensional.  The more creative, the better.  We love it when you guys and gals think outside the box!

  For those in the Smeared and Smudged Creepmas blog hop, you may combine your challenge project with your hop project as long as you meet the criteria for both.  

For inspiration, check out the work from the Smeared Ink DT gals below.  Click on the images to enlarge and click on the designer's name to get to her blog to read further details about the project she has made.

Weekly Challenge: REPTILE RAMPAGE

Welcome back for another challenge with Smudgy Antics!

The challenge theme this week is 

"REPTILE RAMPAGE".
  
Reptile: 1.) Any various cold-blooded, usually egg-laying vertebrates of the class Reptilia (think snake, lizard, crocodile, turtle, dinosaur, or dragon).
Reptile:  2.) A person being regarded as despicable or treacherous.

Rampage:  Violent or excited behavior that is reckless, uncontrolled, or destructive.

We are asking you to incorporate the spirit of a reptile rampage into your project for the week.  There are several directions you can take this prompt.  You can use an image of a reptile or you can use papers or textures that resemble a reptile's skin, or in the case of a turtle, its shell.  You can throw caution to the wind and get reckless in the creation of your project by ripping, tearing, and distressing a project almost to the point of destruction while still maintaining an awesome piece.  This theme would be great for art journal pages too.  Show us, through your art, a time where you may have been reckless or on a rampage.  Too much?  How about doing a journal piece or ATC about someone or something you regard as despicable or treacherous?  If it is NOT EVIDENT as to how you used the challenge theme REPTILE RAMPAGE in your project, please explain it in your blog post.

The sky is the limit.  The more creative, the better!  All artistic mediums are accepted as long as a stamped image is used somewhere in your project and you follow the challenge rules which are posted on the left side-bar.  We can't wait to see your creations!
