The theme for this two week period of creativity is
ANYTHING BUT A CARD.
You can't get much easier than that! Just make anything other than a card and remember to include a stamped image (real or digi) and follow the rules posted in the left sidebar which includes being a follower of the Smudgy Antics Blog. The more creative, the better. We love it when you guys and gals think outside of the box. Get your mojo in gear and get ready to get inky.
My project also covers.......

....It's the second week here in the dungeon.
Surely you can think of someone or something that is considered
undead and gorgeous in the eyes of the beholder.

| I altered a box of wooden kiddies bricks. |
 |
| The box front with Poe..... |
 |
| ...lift the lid and you have 12x wooden blocks..... thats an awful lot of sides! 72 to be exact....thats a lot of stamping, cutting, sticking, inking and TIME! |
 |
| This image is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. |
 |
| All the images are from SMEARED INK. |
 |
| Coloured with promarkers and ink. I used the faux air brush technique that was featured in this months craft stamper magazine... although i do this technique a lot i had no idea it had a name! |
 |
| Each of the 6x sides of the cube have a different image and i have tried to give each a different prodominent colour..... although all the dark areas in the corners make it rather confusing. |
 |
| The box is edged with gold leafing pen, and all the cubes are covered withgood old sticky backed plastic to make them durable. The image on the box front is covered too. I do hope you'll have time to join in with one or both challenges...why not combine them as i have? |
