April Fool's Day Smeared and Smudged Member Blog Hop
Happy April Fool's Day! Is that the proper greeting? I guess I've never really thought about it :) Well, at any rate, today will be hoppin'... Blog Hoppin' that is! The Smeared and Smudged online community is having a blog hop that is sure to be full of surprises... I'm not telling about ALL of the surprises... you'll just have to find out for yourself
{muhu whah ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhhhhhhhhhhh}
My project, however has no surprises... I was mojo-less for that part, so my sad little fairy must do. I brayered & sponged directly on the card base for this one... the only additional layer is the fairy herself :) She is so beautifully sad, don't you think?
I colored her with Copics and probably should have gone a little more dark with her to fit into the rest of the scene, but I kind of like how she is this bright little thing standing out in the middle of a dark evening. I used a three-color feathering technique for her gown... it looks really good in person.
Stamps: Sad Elfwood Fairy (Stamp It Crazy), tree (Tim Holtz), Edge Designs (TAC), Trendy Greetings (TAC), Fresh Air Favorites (retired TAC)
Ink: Violete, Starry Night, Iris, Jardin Moss, Water Lily Green, Raw Sienna, Cognac, & Noir Palettes, Memento Tuxedo, Onyx VersaFine
Other: Copic markers, foam tape
And to see if you actually read all of this stuff, I'm going to be offering up a little surprise of my own... be sure to leave a comment on this post, and I'll draw a name on Thursday, April 8th after 5pm. Now, keep in mind that this IS April Fool's Day, so the little surprise you get in the mail MIGHT be new, used, shiny, ready for the trash bin... you just don't know! It might be dark or cute or something in between, but I'm not telling. Sucka!
Have fun hopping through all the blogs to see the great variety and talent that Smeared and Smudged members have to offer!!! It is such a fun community of stampers, and if you like things a little on the dark side or out of the norm, it's definitely the place to gather! These stampers are really fun group... now, go and check them out for yourself and be sure to leave the love!
