SMUDGEFEST-day 1 "BI-POLAR"

Hello, today I revisited my Dark "over-the-edge" journal, which is a WIP.

It is dark, because it deals with my depression, and bad things in my life, or things that my depression makes "bad". It is Over-the-Edge, because every page has stuff that hangs over the outer edge.

Today for SMUDGEFEST you had to use a SMEARED INK image and make something opposite= BI-POLAR.
so, I went for my broken heart (winged broken heart image by SMEARED INK) vs. a whole, sweet heart (image by DESIGNED 2 DELIGHT) The word "broken" is also by Smeared ink, the rest of my verse is computer generated.

The front:

Images as stated above, paper by MARTHA STEWART, Diamond Glaze by JUDIKINS used over the blood splats, German scrap wings in chocolate by COLLAGE STUFF. Both Heart painted with Tim Holtz distress inks by RANGER. Misc. clear and frosted heart buttons

The Back, for journaling:

misc. paper. TIM HOLTZ distress ink black soot and sharpie

another page for my dark journal

I have tried at least 4 times to get good photos of this, and it is just not happening, my apologies, what you see is the best I was able to get.

 It is hard to tell but on the Mummy, and on the title (My Family Sucked the Life out of Me) I have RANGER's rock candy crackle distress paint. On the Sub-title (I Was a Good Mummy. Really I Was) there is diamond glaze. It is also floated above the page on roam tape. Both titles, computer generated by me with Transylvania font from SCRAPPINFONTS.

 Background paper is the graveyard paper from MARTHA STEWART, which has some of the tombstones shiny enamel, misc black card stock, white card stock by GEORGIA-PACIFIC, Stamps- CLOSE TO MY HEART--Halloween Dingbats. Edged with MOMENTO Tuxedo black ink.Misc.- safety pins, that smudged a bit of black STAZ-ON ink on, Black string beads. White grosgrain ribbon by STAMPIN' UP.

 The back, which has more space for writing, misc. gray card stock. Printed paper by PRIMA MARKETING. Again, edged with MOMENTO Tuxedo Black ink. The end of the black bead string tied in a knot, and glued in place
