Kat We, the members of the SMEARED AND SMUDGED FB GROUP have a members hop every month... this month our theme is SCARY FAIRIES... Please visit all the talented folks on the blog roll above, I'm sure you'll be inspired by their wickedly scary fairy creations. I altered another note book as my 1st project... the stamp is from DE-STEMPELWINKEL. Coloured with alcohol pens/pencils and distress ink.

  Then I thought i'd share with you two ATC'S using the same stamp...again the stamp is from

DE-STEMPELWINKEL....

Her she is all pretty pink and glittery in the sunshine.... scary enough me thinks....

 .... and now in moonlight.

Just changing the colours on a fairy stamped image can change her from 'sweet fairy'

to a 'scary fairy'.

Both ATC's are coloured with alcohol pens, pencils and distress ink.

Now as an added bonus.... my friend IKE .... because of breaking her toe.... forgot to put her name down for the hop.... has a wonderful new digi image/project she has allowed me to post it here on my blog,  it'd be great if you could pop by here blog and leave her a comment too. You'll find her HERE

Thank you for stopping by.... now off you go to the combined talents of the  DREAM IN DARKNESS team. BDx

WARNING PICTURE HEAVY POST!!!
I played with clay and faux finishes for my projects...
a pair of coasters, a fridge magnet and a hallhanger.
The stamps are SMEARED INK.

 The two coasters have a polished slate finish.

The fridge magnet tarnished copper.

 The wall hanger ...good old rust and corrosion.

The detail these stamps give with clay is magnificent.
This is a close up of the faux tarnished copper fridge magnet.

This the faux rust...

 ...this the polished slate.

Its the first time i've used this SMEARED INK stamp set with clay...
I am IMPRESSED! Shall be using them again for sure.
ALSO TODAY we have a new challenge for you at
QUOTH THE RAVEN..
we have a picture for your inspiration this month...
here is my project...A double page spread in a book of
POE i'm creating.

It has a SKULL on so I thought i'd combine my post...

and hopefully encourage some of you hoppers to join us at QUOTH this month.

You have until the 28th of June to join us.

Hope you will all enjoy the SKULL APPECIATION HOP...

Thanks for stopping by
