The last DT BLOG HOP of the current term at SMEARED INK

I have had so much fun on the design team for SMEARED INK that i am rather sad to say that this is the last blog hop for the current DT. As from October 1st there will be a new DT with some new faces and some old ones......

We were challenged to make something using stamps from at least 3 of the SMEARED INK sets...or 3 different images..... i cant remember how many images i have used but i used images from.......................

As death.

Quoth the raven,

Holy city and

Killer bo peep....... 4 of the rubber sets.

As nearly everyone knows i am a POE freak..... so he had to be in it..... and graves, skulls, ravens, death.... everything i am so 'into'!

This is a 10 inch diameter canvas.... a large piece for me..... although i am getting used to working 'larger ' now..... i collaged lots and lots of stamped images.... and used only black ink.... charcoal grey water colour and chinese white inktense pencil.

I used 3 coats of sealer and bound the edge of the cavas with black satin ribbon, glued and held firm with upholsterers headed pins.

It doesnt show well but everything has a wonderful texture to it.... i am really quite pleased with how it turned out.... although it took ages to complete!Now you need to visit all the other DT blogs..... any order you fancy, jump in.... but dont miss any of them, cos quite honestly you'll be missing great art..... these girls really know how to stamp in unique and wonderful ways.
