31 Days of Halloween | Day 1

10/01/2014 06:00:00 AM  , , , , ,  25 comments

During the month of October I am participating in a month-long blog hop with some amazing artists. Everyday you will find a new Halloween project on all of the blogs listed below. Each project must have stamping on it, be it digi or ink. There are prizes to win, be sure to check out all the rules HERE and information on the daily scavenger hunt is posted there! You must go HERE to find the item/s you are looking for the scavenger hunt.


GOOD MORNING! This is the 1st day of the Annual Smeared Ink 31 Days of Halloween! I love this hop and I hope you will too. Be sure to check out the links above for how it goes! Be sure to check out the links below to see all of the fabulously spooky art! I like to have a "theme" for my posts each week during the month and I have dedicated Wednesdays to ATCs so we start with this wicked ATC using Chandelier in Cobwebs and the Striped Spider from Viva Las VegaStamps! The cardboard base was covered with a piece of vintage book paper and then stamped using PITT artist pen Big Brush in cold grey. I tangled a bit around the edges using PITT artist pens in various widths and added white chalk pastel along the stamped pieces and tangled border. I finished off the card with the phrase : The cobwebs were hung with care--reminiscent of the line in A Night Before Christmas : " The stockings were hung by the chimney with care...". A spritz of Perfect Pearls Mists in Perfect Pearl was added for some shimmer! I hope you enjoy my ATC! Please join me again tomorrow!
