Smudgefest 2014 Day 3

 Smudgefest Day 3

Photo Inspiration

Welcome once again to another Smudgefest challenge.  So fun to wake up and wonder what will be created each day for the week long challenge.  Be sure to check out each day and see what the other fabulous entries are.

I had to think on this pic while I had my first cup of coffee.  The colors and patterns were my main inspirations.  Here is my decorated bag featuring a Smeared Ink digital stamp from the set Calaveras.
