Smudgy Antics Color Challenge Week 1

 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN IS THE NEXT POST or click HERE.

 

Smudgy Antics has a new 2 week Color Challenge up.  There are some wonderful DT projects to get you started.  You must use at least 3 of the colors, which are: Dark Grey, Magenta, Dark Green, Black, and Dark Orange.

 I have used Dark Grey, Magenta, Black and Dark Orange for my magnet hang for this Smudgy Antic's Color Challenge.  Flash brightened it up a bit, IRL it is a little darker.

Silent Deets

Background

This is a 5" x 5" square piece of the card board that comes in the Stampin' Up! Designer Paper packs to help keep the paper from being bent.

I used Gumball Green ink pad directly onto backing to cover entire area.

"Rock wall" is cut up pieces of the left over rubber from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club stamp sets.  Adhered with Tombow glue. 

I added White Gesso over rubber pieces and let dry.

Very hard to see, but once Gesso was dry, I inked again with Tangerine Tango ink.

Then spritzed with a combo of Silver Smooch Spritz, Basic Black ink, and alcohol.  

Crystal Effects was put randomly through out the cracks.

Added some netting that was from a bag.

Fae Frog

Fea Frog is an image from Smeared Ink that was printed on Very Vanilla card stock. 

Color markers and Blender Pen used to color in.

White Gel Pen on winds to help pop wings.

Added black Sharpie to Pearl Jewels to give pop to the eyes.

Entire image was covered with Crystal Effects and fussy cut.

Flowers

Pansy Punch was used to punch out flowers from designer paper from stash.  

Each was spritzed with Cut Grass Dylusions Ink Spray and combo spritz from above.

Smaller flower is originally yellow and from stash. 

It is inked with Aqua Painter and Cajun Craze ink.

Eyeballs are from a bracelet that I disassembled for parts.

I used a Metallic Green Shapie for cornea.  Then a black Sharpie for eye center.

Each center then has Crystal Effects on it.

Flowers assembled and then adhered to front with Sticky Strip.

Saying

Saying is a piece of chipboard that was covered with Gesso.

Ink added with sponge.

Versa Mark ink over entire piece.  

Wild Wasabi Embossing Powder sprinkled over and heat set.

Saying from As Death (October 2012), Smeared Ink Rubber Club and stamped with Black Staze On.

Edges ink with Staze On.

Extra

Added some fun little critters with Crystal Effects.

Used magnetic strips on back.

Hard to tell, but piece is hanging up on my metal file tower.
All materials used are Stampin' Up! and are current unless otherwise noted.

Fae Frog - Deadly

Freakin' Cool is what this challenge is!  Get a Free digital stamp and make anything you want with it, who could ask for more!  Get your buns over to the Smeared and Smudged Forum and sign up!

I am also going to enter this in the Haunted Design House Challenge 165, since the skin melting off my guy shows his bones.  The challenge is Skeletal Remains - anything relating to skeletal remains e.g. skulls, skeletons and bones etc.
While you are clicking around, check out all the great posts there and get ready for a new challenge Monday.

I do no know if any of you have seen a little TV show called Lost Girl, but it is all "FAE".  I kept wanting to do something along those lines, but ended up more along the lines of the TV show, Grimm.  This is an 8" x 8" scrapbook page from Aunt Marie's book...

The Gorey Deets

I printed out the Fae Frog onto shiny card stock, colored and cut out.  I used Crystal Effects on eyes.

I used a Rick St. Dennis DIGI stamp called "Let's have Brains", which I printed out on Very Vanilla card stock.  The bones were gone over with a Versa Mark Pen, then heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.  I then used an Aqua Painter and inks to color in, then cut out.

Poisonous secretion is Crystal Effects and Tangerine Tango re-inker, dried into drip shapes on a silicon mat.

I scrunched up some white tissue paper, then spritzed with Pink Pirouette Smooch Spritz and Mulberry Red Maya Mist to make the brains.

I sponged in the dirt, then used a stamp from a set called Clockworks (Stampin' Up!) to help add the darker sploches to make it look like dirt.

Trees are stamped with Early Espresso ink.  Tree stamp is by (c) Daniel Torrente from Stampotique, called Tree.

I used an Aqua Painter and inks to color in the background.

I adhered cut digi images and wrote in the words with a Sharpie pen.
