Full Moon Madness...

I love looking at the sky and trying to figure out how does the moon affect us. For so long people have been talking about the craziness that the full moon brings out, but I really think that it is a liberating force that brings out who we really are, all the layers peel out and we are exposed for our true self.
Here is my creation:
Image: Smeared Ink 
I created the background with Distress Inks: Antique Linen, Milled Lavender, Dusty Concord, Spiced Marmalade and Black Soot. Then added some sparkle with Shimmer Spritz Then stamped some swirls in the corners using the Ippity stamp set: Now and Always
To add texture to the image I used tissue paper and Mod Podge. Then colored it with Copics and Prisma pencils.
The sentiment is my own.

Pretty Creepy!

Here is my little creation for this weeks challenge at Smudgy Antics - Pretty Creepy.  I made a CAS card, really simple, but I love the frame (Sentimentals - Cricut Cartridge) and roses, I think they fit perfectly with the image.

Black and White!

Hi everyone!
It is kind of strange for me to use just two color on a card, but I did it!
For this project I made the background using Zentagle.
