SMEARED AND SMUDGED JULY MEMBERS BLOG HOP

Photobucket
Every month we at the SMEARED AND SMUDGED FORUM have a blog hop ....this month because it is  summer..... (yeah right..... if you live in the UK we need wellies, macs and umbrellas....and the heating on most evenings) the theme is BRING THE HEAT. This is totally up to interpretation, we at S&S encourage everyone to think outside the box...break all the rules....  throw good taste and decorum out the window!
You'll be amazed and inspired as you visit these very talented ladies.....

My offering is a personal piece.... i mean no offence to others and hope no one is upset by the wording.... it is based on a saying my late husband and i liked...... ''St Peter doesn't want me, and the devils scared i'll take over''. It shows my dark humour.....
The hand holding the heart are from SMEARED INK...... the grave stones are a kiddies colouring page from DOVER..... the flames i drew, and the words i did on the computer. Its all coloured with promarkers and distressed with black ink.....matted on black and yellow card.
Well Michael..... have you taken over yet? Have fun on the hop.... these girls will have you enthralled.
Thanks for visiting BDx
I'd like to enter these challenges.....
