The Man, The Myth, The Legend

Hi Everyone,

As it's Sunday that means a new challenge at Corrosive Challenges, and this week the challenge is The Man, The Myth, The Legend.......Tim Holtz.  You are to use at least one Tim Holtz product on your project.

This is what I came up with

The image is by Natalie Shau, you can find her work on DevianArt, I just love this image.  I have mat and layered her onto red and black cardstock and used flourish dies and a sentiment plaque by Tim Holtz.  The skull in the left corner is a digi stamp by Smeared Ink, decoupaged and covered in glossy accent, then mounted onto a cameo surround.  The skull in the right corner is from a necklace I bought somewhere in a sale.  The flowers, ribbon and lace are all from my stash

Congratulations to you all :)  

The Challenge this week is Rain Down on Me..... you are to use water in your project.

Remember to win, you must be or become a follower of Smudgy Antics.  To be chosen as one of the Top 3, you must use a Smeared Ink Stamp                         

I decided to go with water colouring....... bit of a stretch for me.........but I was determined to give it a go. So I bought watercolour pencils (they are so lovely I didn't want to use them LOL),  and a water-colour sketch pad. 

Here is the end result  

I water coloured the water and image of this Smeared Ink digi stamp from the Smitten set. I then cut her and the water out and backed them onto sky printed card, which was then backed onto a water image from the net.  The feathers are from my stash and the shells I bought recently from Hobbycraft.
