Smudgy Antics Week 2 DT Project - Fire and Ice

It is Week #2 for the challenge at Smudgy Antics.  The theme is Fire and Ice.
We would love to see your creativity on this and have you play along.
Be sure to check this Week #2 inspiration,and if you have missed Week #1 Design Team project, click HERE.

I have 2 projects to share.  The first is to the second part of my Ice from last week.  My Fire is a card for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.  Some creatures prefer human to turkey for this time of year.  So get the pit stoked and the spit greased on this icy, chilly night...gobble gobble.
"take a load off."
"get lit for the holidays."
"gobble, gobble."

My second project is also a card.  I have used a cold as ice Vamp who is smokin' hot.  I apologize for the flash, it took away her icy blue skin tone.

Hot Deets for Card #1
I told you I was having too much fun with the Gross Anatomy digi set from Smeared Ink.  Image was printed out and fussy cut.  I did cut off the arms.
A bobby pin was used for the turning mechanism that the body is on.
Markers to color in body.  Crystal Effects on the inerreds.

Fire/flames were made with Crystal Effects on a silicone sheet, shaped and let dry.  I then used markers to give some color and scissors to make more flame like flows.

Fire pit and background images are stamps from past offerings of the Smeared Ink Rubber Club set Haunted Places (Sept 2013), drawn by Rick St. Dennis.  
Each is stamped with Black Staze On and colored in with markers and a Blender Pen.

Background color is sponged onto a piece of Whisper White card stock. 

Sayings are from the set Occasions Grumpies (Sept 2013), also from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club.  They are stamped in Black Staze On.

Entire card from was spritzed with Vanilla Smooch Spritz.


Cool and Smoky Details for Card #2
Icy Vamp is from a set by Smeared Ink called Glam Vamps digi set.  Printed out and colored in with markers and a Blender Pen.
She is then fussy cut and adhered onto from with Crystal Effects.
Flames on background were sponged in with a stencil.  I then fussy cut and adhered with Crystal Effects.
Background is a piece of Smoky Gray card stock that was previously printed on.  I used one of the new digi papers from Smeared Ink called Slasher.  I used the Marina Mist ink pad directly onto the card stock to give the blue ice color.
A White Chalk marker is the outlining around the flames.
The ice chunks for the frame were a happy accident.  My kids always seem to have those small bouncy balls laying around the house.  I accidently vacumed one up the other day and had to dig it out.  It was broken, in chunks and looked like ice.  So I used it!  Thought it turned out pretty "cool", hahahaaaa...

Smudgy Antics Fire and Ice Challenge - DT Project

Today starts a new two week challenge at Smudgy Antics.
The theme is Fire and Ice.
Lets see what you can come up with, we would love to have you join us.
Be sure to check out all the inspiration, because there are some awesomely amazing projects up.

I went off the path a little on my project for this challenge by focusing on the Ice part.  
Some heat was involved, meaning a heat gun. 
I just received the Gross Anatomy digi set and have been having waaaayyy to much fun with it.
Don't worry, you will see the Fire part of this challenge next week.

My project is a Freezer made from the new Wood Mount Cases by Stampin' Up!.  It also doubles as a Post It Note Holder.
This person is into daily affirmations that are hung/stuck to the door.  
But the true self is exposed when the door is opened...

"If the blue meanies are going to get me they'd better get off their asses and do something."  The Zodiac Killer
"The tragedy is not to die, but to be wasted."  Thomas Harris, Hannibal

Wrappin' Up the Deets
Freezer Outside
Whisper White card stock crumpled and smooshed.  Flattened out and gone over with sponge and ink.  On back piece (you can see when opened), no ink.
Sayings are enlarged and printed out from Li'l Grumpies Digi Set from Smeared Ink.
I used to different Post It's on front, and wrote a grocery list on one.
Magnet is from stash.
Handle is from tin foil, rolled and shaped.
Brads are SU! (retired).  

Freezer Inside 
Head and heart are from a Smeared Ink digi set called Gross Anatomy.  I changed the colors and did enlarge the heart.  Printed out on Whisper White card stock and fussy cut.
Suran Wrap is around each. 
Versa Mark, White Embossing Powder was heat set to make it look like frost.
Hard to see but used Crystal Effects with some glitter on silicone to shape icicles, which are all over the inside of box.
Dryer sheet folded then taped to look like meat packages.
Note packet and pencils from stash.
