"Can You See The Beauty?"

Welcome to Day 16 of 31 Days of Halloween Hop by Smeared & Smudged!! We are at the HALF WAY MARK as a Wicked Bloggers, and let me tell you I am having so much fun creating!!! I finally got my mind focused on Halloween and Day of the Dead!!! As a Horrified Hopper it is very exciting to see all of the wonderful creations that all of the other Wicked Bloggers have come up with! I must say this... We have some really awesome talent and mojo happening! So be sure to hop, fly, creep, or crawl through all of the creations each day (you never know where a prize may be hidden)! If you happen to get lost along the way the whole blog roll is in the side bar to the right! If you arrived here from Tori's blog, then you are on track... if you didn't and would like to start from the beginning, head on over to Terra' s blog!!!

"Love Hurts"

Good Evening! Smeared Ink is having a daily challenge all this week to kick off their new weekly challenges that will be starting on the Smudgy Antics Blog!  Today is Day 4 of  7, for the Smudgefest Event! 

TWISTED THURSDAY CHALLENGE

The challenge today was to create an ATC (Artist Trading Card) with a twist! The twist was anything that you could come up with! Well first I must say, I have NEVER created one of these... so I had to ask questions and do a bit of research! LOL! I have decided that they are AWESOME!!! I can't believe how much I have learned (as far as techniques and things about myself) since I have joined the Smudged & Smeared Ning Group! I also have found that I am loving Smeared Inks Digital and Rubber Stamps! 

The rules to these challenges are you MUST use a Smeared Ink Image (Digi or Rubber) and you Must complete each day's challenge by midnight PST! And that is it! There are Daily Prizes and one HUGE Grand Prize for one lucky person! (To be eligible for the Grand Prize Drawing, you MUST complete all 7 days of challenges! Whew!) 

Well this is what I came up with!
