Haunted Design House Februray Challenge

Its a 'Love / Hate Thing' for this months challenge at the Haunted Design House Macabre Monday challenge blog.

You do have all month long to get those projects in and they pretty much accept anything.  Anything being twisted, dark, and soooo unconventional.

Be sure to leave those minions some love/hate as well for the mind numbing projects that they create.

If you do not know, I am an American Horror Story stalker.  This year has been AAAAmazing and of course now must create!  Thank you Smeared Ink for this wonderful image of  Meep The Geek from a series of images titled Carnival De La Nuit. 

Step Right Up for these Deets

Background was an image found on Google of the circle front from the show. 
Altered image with my Picasso and printed out onto Very Vanilla card stock.
Markers to highlight words and to color in various areas.
Sponged around distressed edges.

Kickstart Your Art - Day 4 and AJEDJan Challenge

Ummmm, yea!  I finally caught up and have my Day 4 art journal page ready to roll for the Kickstart Your Art week long challenge.

Today is Doodle Day for this Day 4 challenge.  I do not doodle so I apologize in advance for my meager attempt.  Again I have used  my new homemade art journal book "Winter is Here." book for this page.  Trying to get at least one journal, for the most part completed.

My main skellie image is by the talented Mr. Rick St. Dennis.  See his Zibbit shop HERE for more fab images.

Since this does have a skull, I am also going to get my page into the Art Journal Every Day January Challenge.  Skulls must be used on your page.  Find our Smeared and Smudged group on Facebook!

Page was inspired by the book series Game of Thrones.  

Watch these Deets!

Base of page was made with all sorts of blues in acrylic paints, lined stencil, and sponge.

Image was pritned onto Whisper White card stock.  Colored in with Copics, fussy cut and adhered to dried base page.


Used a small hand stamp from Smeared Ink called Prints.

Words written are:
"It was the children who carved the faces on the weirwoods to keep watch"
and
"Winter is here" 

Sharpies and journaling pen also used.

Kickstart Your Art Day 3 and Smudgy Antics DT Project

These pages are so fun and so glad to be a part of Kickstart Your Art this year.  I am also up today for the Smudgy Antics Design Team project and have decided to combine today's post with KYA Day 3, since I have only used Smeared Ink stamps. 

The challenge for Day 3 is Collage.  Definition: a piece of art made by sticking various different materials such as photographs and pieces of paper or fabric onto a backing. A combination or collection of various things.
Log into Facebook and look for the Smeared and Smudge group and join in all the challenges and see some wonderful inspiration from members and the Design Team.

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY to get your Anything Goes projects in for January at Smudgy Antics!  

Click HERE to enter.

Yup, think I can do this and VERY happy with how my page turned out.  One of my favorite colors is blue and had these papers out, so all the scraps and what not from that project I was able to use on this.  Woohoo!

My lass is from a Smeared Ink digital stamp set called Broken and Bleeding.  When I colored her in she originally had black eye centers, eyebrows, and lips.  But once she was on the page...had to find my Smooch Pealizied Accents and change that to a deep blue.  Hard to see in the pic because of the flash.

Layerin' Up the Details

Page was from my new homemade art journal that had not yet been base painted.

All designer papers, die cuts, punched pieces, ribbons, wahsi tape, doilies, printed vellum, and embellies from stash.
The Jewel Rhinestones were colored over with a black Sharpie.
Skellie on flower is from a winnings I received from the wonderful Creepy Glowbugg.  I use her fab embellies sparingly, but this page was calling out for it!

Image from Broken and Bleeding was printed onto Very Vanilla card stock.  Colored in with Blendabilities and markers.  Fussy cut, then adhered to page.

Quoth The Raven, Nevermore Jan Quest #40

I am enjoying all the new challenges going on in the new year and have decided to made a flip book dedicated to some of the great Edgar Allan Poe quotes.  
The Quests at Quoth The Raven, Nevermore are perfect for this flip book.
Trying to get more into the digial side of experimenting and having a blast. 

The page will be entered into this Quest #40 - Snow Poe where the challenge is to use White and only one other color. 

Dabbled Deets

Background is from the Smeared Ink digital set called Venice.
Image was altered with Picasso and printed out on Whisper White card stock.

Took the quote from The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe and used AR JULIN font in Word.  Printed out over background.

Used Jet Black Ranger Archival Ink and stamps from a Smeared Ink rubber set called Inky Dreams.  Stamped randomly around edges of page.

All edges on page were distressed and sponged.

Basic Black card stock for backing. All edges also distressed.

Illuminate Pearlized Top Coat Smooch on random words through out quote.

Black journaling pen to add quotation marks and title.

Crop-a-dile to punch holes for 1" binder rings.

"The mask which concealed the visage was made so nearly to resemble the countenance of a stiffened corpse that the closest scrutiny must have had difficulty in detecting the cheat. And yet all this might have been endured, if not approved, by the mad revellers around. But the mummer had gone so far as to assume the type of the Red Death. His vesture was dabbled in blood --and his broad brow, with all the features of the face, was besprinkled with the scarlet horror."

Smudgy Antics SIDT Project

Hello and wow, where in the heck did November go??
Lots of changes going on at Smeared Ink!  Updated and new Smeared Ink, the Smudgy Antics Anything Goes Monthly Challenge blog is back up and running, find out about Creepmas and more at Smeared and Smudged: More Smeared Ink blog, and get over to the Smeared and Smudged Facebook Page!

Very exciting that inspiration will be happening once a day by each of the Smeared Ink Design Team members.  I have done an Art Journal Page for you today using the Smeared Ink rubber set called Voodoo.  You can find this set and many more in the Unmounted Rubber Stamps section.

This page was inspired by this past season of American Horror Story - Coven.  If you know me, I LOVE this series and am well into this seasons...which rocks as well.  Quotes are from different episodes from the altered version of Papa Legba.

Day 16 - 31 Days, LOC #49, and S&SOctO!TH!

Wicked Blogger's are at it again for Day 16 of 31 Days of Halloween.  Can't believe it is already half over.  Thanks everyone for sticking it out with us.  

The Wicked Blogger Roll is on the left side bar <-------

Scavenger hunt rules and guidelines can be found HERE for 31 Days of Halloween.

The project I have for you today will also be entered into Left Of Center Creative Challenges and Smeared and Smudged challenges.
LOC - #49 - Alter Something
Oh! The Horror! - Sleepy Hollow (insp. by movie/poster) 

I was watching Sleepy Hollow (1999) last night and inspiration struck.  I love Burton's use of the gray/black color scheme in this movie.  Then, of course, all the heads that disappear.  I thought about adding bits of red, but for once held myself back, and happy I did.

I have altered a dry erase/magnet board to turn it into only a magnet board.  If any headless person(s) are looking for some skellie heads this Halloween, come on over, I've got a few!

BEFORE

AFTER

Dig, Dig, Dig, for the Deets

Started my altering by using brush and Black Gesso over entire board, which measures 13" x 13"...It was meant to be!

Once board was dry, I found an old cardboard skellie head stencil that I had made awhile ago.
I did have to cut out the bottom to create the teeth.  Use the extra piece for a little handle which was taped down.
 
Found my long lost glow in the dark paint, called GloAway (cute name!) and with brush put it onto stencil.
Pushed onto board 9x in different directions.  Let dry.

Next, stamping commenced!  Used set created by Rick St. Dennis for Smeared Ink Rubber Club called Morte (June 2013).
Skellie background stamp used as border and stamped with Silver Encore Ink.
Two heads w/ bone image was stamped randomly with Black Archival Ink.

Found 2 magnet clips and glued hand and foot to each.  Pieces are from stash.

Had a bracelet with skelli heads which I took apart.  Heads were adhered with large glue dot to magnet circles.
Thought it would be killer to have the skellie eyes glow in the dark, so put a dab of the GloAway in all the eyes.

Day 10-31 Days

Today is Smeared Ink Friday!  So all stamps are by Smeared Ink.

One of the best things about this month is the opportunity to watch all your favorite scarey movies either on TV or from the local rental store.  Which, I was in last night and saw a movie I had never seen before in the Horror Section.  I immediately had to rent.  Here's the movie cover:

A Load Full of Details

Smeared Ink image is from the digital set called Babies of the Damned.  Printed onto Whisper White card stock.  Colored in with Copic's, fussy cut, Crystal Effects on all, and sponged around edges with black ink.

Background is a digital paper from the Smeared Ink set called Icy Digital Paper Pack.  Altered the color in Picasso and printed out onto copy paper.

Brain pacifiers are also in the Babies of the Damned set.  Copied image and put into a Word format.  Rotated images and then printed out over the altered background.  Finished printed page was trimmed to size of cover for DVD case.

Title and tagline, "And you thought their diapers were dangerous.", were written in font AR Darling and printed out onto copy paper.
Gone over with markers and inks to grunge up a bit.

DVD case is mine and who knows where the movie is...

The project I have today is an altered yo-yo.  The kids have carnivals at school and so I have collected some cute Halloween toys.  Now, we all know that cute is not quite the style I am going for this time of year, or anytime of year come to think of it!  So had to alter this sweet pumpkin yo-yo to an evil pumpkin yo-yo.
