Smeared and Smudged September Member BLOG HOP!!

So sorry for the late post this morning, but I've been soooo busy!!! Haha. I literally started this project at 10pm last night!!

For our blog hop we had to work with orange. 'Tis the season, right? So...I struggled with whether I should jump right into the fall and Halloween theme or not. Where I live we are still in the high 90's everyday - still very much summer, so I went with the Chicks Dig Guns set, from Smeared Ink, and kept this card seasonally neutral.

Hope you like her...I colored her with prismacolor markers and used a few different papers. I painted a feather with dark orange and metallic purple (hard to see in photo). And added some punches, tissue paper, and a lot of distress ink.



Here is the front

I'm also pleased to announce (if you haven't heard already) we have added our very first artist (besides ourselves), Irma Diaz, to the Smeared Ink family. She's very talented and we are at this very moment taking preorders until Sept 20 for her amazing first set, Candy Is Dandy, which will be available in mid October. If you want to read all the details, be sure to visit our shop before the 20th!



The group over at Smeared and Smudged are fabulous and work so hard to create awesome stuff! You're welcome to visit our forum and jump right it if it's the place for you!!
