Smeared ink

Today is wednesday and its my 'day' for SMEARED INK. I am back to doing what i like best.... and thats non christmassy and not a card.
I have altered another domino and made the box to present it in..... i have used a Raven from QUOTE THE RAVEN, for the decoration on the box, and a skull figure (well cut down) from AS DEATH for the domino. I used alcohol ink to colour the domino.... i had to be very careful as i used stazon to stamp my image and they dont work well together. I sealed it with 3 coats of vanish, and attached it to a leather thong.
For the box top i used a piece of basic grey paper that i altered the colours of with red and black ink.... and used the wire netting stamp, the word raven and the raven image all from QUOTH THE RAVEN , stamped in black and highlighted with white gel pen.

These two pieces, although my DT pieces are also for the following challenges....
http://theshabbytearoom.blogspot.com/ where the challenge is to make a GIFT or GIFTSET.... ok not everyone would like it as a gift but i have some friends who are as quaint as me....DONNA?
http://cardsformen.blogspot.com/ where the challenge is to make a CARD or a GIFT for a MAN.... i keep the domino pendant simple so it would do either male or femail.
http://flourishes.org/blog/ where the challenge is a 3D GIFT.
http://mamidoodles.blogspot.com/ where the challenge is a GIFT......
Well i'm not sure what these challenges will make of my work.... and if the visiting DT members expect cute.... i'm afraid i'm gonna disappoint!
Thanks for visiting.... i'll be back tomorrow with day 5 of the 12 days of christmas.
love lynx
