Smudgefest 2014 Day 1 & QTR #35

 

It is Day 1 for Smudgefest and the challenge for today is:

Mixed Media Monday -

You must use at least 3 different kinds of mediums in your project

 and

at least 1 Smeared Ink image to be entered into the grand prize drawing

I have an art journal page for today's entry.

I am also going to enter this page at Quoth The Raven, Nevermore.

QTR's current Quest #35 is Anything Poes.

As you probably guess, this page uses the Smeared Ink stamp set Quoth the Raven (Feb 2013).

I was also inspired by an Art Journal Everyday tutorial from the wonderful Julia Vasquez.  The technique is #27 Making Marks. 

Once my marks were finished, it reminded me of a wall.

So I wrote some quotes from The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allan Poe.

Weekly Smeared Ink Design Team Project and Quoth the Raven, Nevermore Quest #28

I have combined my Smeared Ink Weekly DT project with this month's Quest #28 from the wonderful all Edgar Allen Poe blog, Quoth the Raven, Nevermore.

Smeared Ink has some fabulous new digital papers out and I can not stop using the ones from the Poe Boy set.  Which of course goes soooo well with any of the Quoth the Raven, Nevermore quests.

I have only used stamps and images from Smeared Ink for my project.  Quest #28 is Anything Poes this month.  I made a calender holder, which I can keep always because I can just print out new months.  Love Excel!
