Happy Monday folks! Some of you will know that i had Carpal Tunnel Decompression surgery last Thursday, most of the posts for the next few weeks were all written before my surgery so the pressure is off for me to create for DTs etc for the next few weeks. This week, however, is
Smudgefest 2014 and I fully plan to join in every day for the 7 day event! I had the foresight to colour some fabulous
Smeared Ink images last week before the op so here's hoping I can make something each day to the daily theme.
Today is '
Mixed Media Monday' and the brief is to make something, with an SI stamp included, which uses 3 different colouring mediums. I started by making my own background paper. This is 180gsm watercolour paper sprayed with Turquoise and Crushed Grape Dylusions sprays then water through a Dutch Doobadoo barbed wire stencil to create a ghosting effect.
I cut this to 14cm square, edged it with Black Soot distress ink and mounted onto a 6x6 scalloped square card. The edges of the card were inked with Dusty Concord and Peacock Feathers DI to match the dylusions. The image is a SI digi called Dead Dancer Falling and she is coloured with Promarkers and edged with Peacock Feathers and Black Soot DI.
To finish the card, I have used the LaRue Flourish from Memory Box and some metallic self adhesive dots. The sentiment was printed from Word using the 'Simply Glamorous' font.
I will enter this at
