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

Page base is a Cherry Cobbler card stock.  Used a Black Sharpie and ruler to make lines.

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.

Words were altered in Word using Matisse ILC font and printed out.
Cut, sponged, and adhered to page.

Meep was printed onto Whisper White card stock.
Colored in with Copics.
Crystal Effects over entire image.
Fussy cut, sponged edges and adhered to page.

Weekly Smeared Ink DT Project and Junk Funk Feb Challenge

February is going to fly just as quick as January I believe!  Lots of projects up ahead for you this month and am getting excited for the Bloody Valentine Blog Hop that Smeared Ink is hosting once again. 

The Smeared and Smudged Forum is loaded with great new challenges all month long and I was so happy to already have an entry for the Junk Funk February Challenge which is using Bubble Wrap in some way.

I have combined this project with my Smeared Ink Weekly Design Team project in which I can only use Smeared Ink stamps.  Which is not a problem because I just got my sets from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club and am only tooo happy to get crafty with them.

I participated in the Kickstart You Art Challenge this past week and for some reason can not stop.  So in an un-offical Day 8, I have another page for my "ladies journal" to share.
