Happy Monday I want to share another challenge with smeared ink I am playing in. http://smearedandsmudged.ning.com/group/thechallenger/forum/topics/junk-funk-challenge-february
The theme in the green is to use a dryer sheet..well I used two. I kept my current smudgy antics style (gatefold) which is the current challenge for http://smudgyantics.blogspot.com/
but yes i added the dryer sheets lol.
I want to also bring to your attention along with the dryer sheets my wolf.Actually, this was the first wolf I have colored.

 oh first time for everything just about right? The wolf is from Ike a DT with smeared ink and you can find her images not only at the smeared ink store http://www.smearedink.com/
but also please visit her blog and personal store..she is such a awesome artist. I will link you in a minute...First let me open my card. . .  yes the lyrics are from Korn and also Disturbed sang this song forsaken..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-7oiNFomzQ
you can also go their offical websites and find the song or google it..awesome song from both recording groups which happen to be on my top music list...anyway...
the middle of the gate card will take us back to Ike..this was a friday freebie from her store..I hope I have made her proud
and the final page is one of the newest digitasl stamps from smeared ink (the link above)
okay so there is the wolf the town and the lady use your imagination.:)
hugs
