Week 2 of GLITTER and GORE with Smudgy Antics

This fortnight at Smudgy Antics, we want to see who has the GUTS and the BLOODY SPARKLE-TUDE to play along with our challenge.  Our hearts will beat outside of our chests with pride, glistening in the light of the glittering sun. 

  The theme this fortnight is 
 GLITTER AND GORE.
This is the last week to get your glitter and gore entries into Mr. Linky.

The choice is NOT OPTIONAL.  YOU MUST USE BOTH GLITTER AND GORE in this challenge or your project will not qualify for a prize.  If you don't own any gory or scary stamps, Smeared Ink has plenty of digis in their shop that fit the bill.  If you are super strapped for cash, you may use any stamp, even a cute one, as long as you add both glitter and gore.  I have seen some amazingly gory Magnolia projects out there in blogland so there is no excuse NOT to play.

We can't wait to see what you guys and gals make!
Remember to use a stamped image (real or digi) and follow the rules posted on the left sidebar to qualify for a prize.  Only the best will win so get your mojos on the ready and get creative.

MAKE IT COLOURFUL..... WITHOUT MARKERS OR PENCILS. Week 2.

This is week 2 of the most recent challenge at Smudgy Antics.  
There is only one week left to play along.

  We want to see you ladies and gents make a COLORFUL project WITHOUT using colored pencils or markers of any kind.  That's right!
 NO COLORED PENCILS OR MARKERS OF ANY KIND ALLOWED.
Are you stumped?  It really isn't that hard once you start thinking outside of the box and
 are willing to give different techniques a try.


You can paint with acrylics, oils, water colors, inks, or even perfect pearls.  
If you are not into the painting thing, you can give pastels or paper piecing a try.  Heck, you can even use your own blood, but I don't really recommend that unless you're doing a small project like an ATC, an inchie, or a twinchie.


We can't wait to see what you guys and gals make!
Remember to use a stamped image (real or digi) and follow the rules posted on the left sidebar to qualify for a prize. 
 Only the best will win so get your mojos on the ready and get creative. 
 Blow us away with your talent.  Surprise us with a new technique.
Make something that has that "Wow" factor and leaves us staring at the monitor and drooling like zombies as we gaze upon your piece with awe.
