Smeared and Smudged August Member Blog Hop

HI!!! This is my first time playing along with the Smeared and Smudged member Blog Hop. This month is Anything Goes and I'm so excited to see what everyone has made! I'm afraid my offering is not great! I have a minor printer issue so had to use an image that I already had printed and with a lack of time on my side I have made a birthday card.

I have used a Delicious Doodles Zombie Pirate image and coloured only the bandana and neck tie using red and grey promarkers. This was given some black soot distress ink around the edges and matted onto red and black card. I used a die to cut some flourishes for the card and used the outer remains as a stencil to apply more black soot ink to the grey background paper.


The card is finished with black seam binding, sentiment, a couple of flourishes and glossy accents on his missing eye socket!

Hopefully I will be more organised for the next hop!! Speaking of hop, you should have come to me from Shell and your next stop is Jane. Hop on over to Terra at the Smeared and Smudged blog to start at the beginning if you have just jumped in here!

Here is the full blog roll for your convenience - please enjoy your day and leave some love at each stop!
