Just some new art!

I haven't been creating too much lately...but here are a couple of items.

 This one is crimson, black, white and navy, the back ground is stamped (STAMPIN' UP) the sentiment is computer generated, the punch is SU, I hand drew a line inside (cat headbutted my arm at one point) The adorable pin up is from a now defunct collage sheet company. the flower is from a stem of silk flowers (black) with a crystal brad (MAKING MEMORIES) and the pearl brads are from AMERICAN CRAFTS.

Smeared and Smudged's April Sketch challenge

Smudgy Antics ..."Drop Dead Gorgeous"

This is my card for Poisoned Peas Please Challenge last week 

(I am part of the DT...I never got to post it to my own blog)

The challenge was "Fool's game" and we were all using a "Carnie" from SMEARED INK... both my "Tightrope walker" and the "Hurry,hurry,hurry" are from the "Carnie" set

I used the Mosaic Embossing folder from CUTTLEBUG, negative side up and trimmed it to match her "frayed-look" All Card stock is also from STAMPIN' UP

My sentiment is computer generated, button from BUTTONS GALORE, and  colored Hemp is from WALMART.

I drew in my own "tight rope" and the image is colored with PRISMACOLOR pencils and blender pencil.
