Halloween Freak

Today is Day 8 of Smeared Ink's extraordinary blog hop, 31 Days of Halloween!  It's so much fun seeing everyone's creations every day--very inspiring!

Today I have a postcard to show you, which I have entitled "Halloween Freak."  To tell you the truth, I'm not too sure about this piece, and I wasn't sure if I was going to show it on the blog or not.  But I thought, "What the heck!" and decided to put it out there and get some opinions.  So let me know what you think.

Constructive criticism is always welcome--please let me know what you think is NOT working as well as what works!

The details:
1.  Bearded Man stamp from Red Eowyn, stamped on Neenah paper and colored with Spectrum Noir colored pencils.   Then spritzed with Prima Color Bloom spray mists, and edged with Distress Ink in Black Soot.
2.  Background collaged from paper scraps, then sprayed with Prima Color Bloom spray mist
3.  "Freak" stamped with All Night Media Jive alphabet stamp set, stamped with Perfect Medium and dusted with Perfect Pearls

Thanks for all your kind comments over the last week, and I hope to keep seeing you as the month continues.  To follow the entire hop, you can find the blog roll in the right-hand sidebar.

The Triplets

Today is Day 4 of Smeared Ink's 31 Days of Halloween!  Today I have my first entry into a series that I am planning for the month, entitled Halloween for Freaks and Geeks.

Today's piece is a 6 x 6 inch fat page that I have titled "The Triplets."  These three are always prepared for Halloween--no elaborate costume necessary!

The details:

1.  Three-headed man digi stamp from Create with TLC, printed on Neenah paper and colored with watercolor pencils

2.  Alphabet stamp set by Studio G Stamps

3.  Background spritzed with Prima Color Bloom spray mist in Sultry Shimmer Gilded and embossed using Ranger Perfect Medium and Stampendous Frantage Embossing Powder in Aged Gold

4.  Prima Marketing Chalk Ink Edger

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my freakish trio today, and thanks for stopping by!  If you're following the entire hop, you can find the blogroll in the right-hand sidebar.

Weird and Wonderful

Today is the fifth day of the 31 Days of Halloween Challenge and Blog Hop, sponsored by Smeared Ink and the Smeared and Smudged forum!

To see everyone who is participating in the blog hop, follow the blog roll on the right.  If you're following the blog roll, you probably got here from Sue's blog and will want to proceed to Leslie's blog after you've stopped here!

Today I have another card, entitled Weird and Wonderful.

My original concept for this piece was a very simple thought:  "Something weird in a birdcage." This is the ultimate result of that thought!

2. Curly-Legged Freak--from Freaks set by Red Eowyn
3. Raven with glasses—from Hampton Art Graphic 45 Time Flies set
