DAY 5 of Smudgefest

I apologize for not including any links.   I came home today to find that my husband moved the majority of our room,  which included all computers.  I am attempting this post with my phone so hopefully this will work.   Remember that card for the bi-polar challenge?   Really feeling the red and blue sides.

I will revise this and probably tomorrow's post, hopefully by Monday.   I am not including deets but will put them in when I revise.

DAY 5 CHALLENGE - Flowing Friday - create a project using a flowing medium.

This was a challenge.   I started my main image this morning but was not happy with it.   Left the rest for when I got back and had all day to get an idea of what I wanted to do.

I started with my Aqua Painter and watercolor paper to start the flowing medium background.   I wanted to attempt a shadowy figure reaching out.   I reworked and reworked and then had to set aside because it was not coming out how I wanted it to.  

I moved on to try something else.   On a silicone mat I squeezed Crystal Effects onto it and moved it around to make drips, use of liquid glues.   Then added Tombow glue to give a little more texture and color.   I set this aside to dry and left the house for the day.

When I got back,  I ended up using both of these ideas and turned them into a note book.
I used the stamp sets from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club.
