SMUDGY ANTICS and MACABRE MONDAY

Well its the start of another week and i have 2 new challenges to share with you today...... but only one project!
SMEARED INK are sponsoring MACABRE MONDAY..... so my project for SMUDGY ANTICS and MACABRE MONDAY are one and the same!




SMUDGY ANTICS

Congratulations to the winner and top three of the Colour Challenge!
The challenge theme this week is "EMBELLISH IT".

For this challenge you MUST use at least 3 EMBELLISHMENTS. 
 Bring on the flowers and bling.  Use up your ribbon and lace.  Find a spot for brads and gems.  Heck, add hardware if you want!
Make your project simple or feel free to go over the top.
Just remember to use a stamped image (digi or rubber), 3 embellishments, and be sure to read and follow the challenge rules posted.

I have stamped and masked images from SMEARED INK.... coloured with promarkers, & copious amounts of brown and black ink to get that smeared and smudged look.

"Pass the distressing, please."

You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween-based art piece

that uses distressing of some sort. Get out your nail files, your scissor blades
and your distress inks! Your hands are really the best tools to crumple and rip,
and then spritz and sponge your way to a distressed masterpiece!


 I mounted my coloured image onto gold mirri card and distressed the hell out of it..... i used the paper from a chocolate box....i love this stuff...it crinkles up so well. I used a couple of die-cuts (grunge board, painted and distressed to look like rust) and a plastic word plaque that i painted then distressed to look like old metal. I mounted it all onto black card stock.
So you guys can combine challenges..... 3 embellishments....and distressed..... and you can win a SMEARED INK VOUCHER...... from either or both challenges!

I'll enter my card into the following challenges....
