Day 3 of Creepmas at Smeared and Smudged

This one was so simple It shouldn't even count but it DOES....:)!  I found this little plaque with a sad little metal mushroom in it feeling unloved and unwanted!  I had thoughts of painting it and had the Poe image of Ike's already colored for another project and the colors just seem to fit his holiday "portrait" just like it was so no paint, nothing, nada!  Copied the image to size after coloring..finally learned that trick!  and the sentiment and candy canes are from Simply Betty's stamps Holiday Elf Trio I think is the name.  I had a perfectly new spray of red berries out for house decorations when the cats decided to goth them up for me ( same spray from Wednesday's wreath eaten up too!) so I glued them on the berries.  I used a tiny craft card to make my background for my sentiment probably had something on cricut to use but like this so stayed sitting down..lol!  I used Distress markers and inked everything with a Distress ink pad and black ink pad.  Printed everything on watercolor paper , fussy cut, and glued.  Honestly, this little plaque did all the work.  The project made itself!  Go show some love for my fav artisits to the right!

Happy Crafting and Merry Creepmas!

Scrolling down the page, at first the candy canes looked like tentacles, and Poe has a similarity to Ringo Starr.
I love how you used something right at hand for the sentiment. That's my kind of crafting.
Wickedly wonderful

Fantastic first project for the team, and just the right amount of 'creep' for Creepmas!! I love it when things just work together.....still chuckling about the cats 'gothing up' your berries and the comment about Ringo Starr :)

Great little project, Nan! You say "simple," but it took a bit of work to get there, so I say "Yay, You!" I love the juxtaposition of the vintage frame and the pop from the red berries and candy canes! Perfect holiday creepiness!

    My precious grandpuppy, Yoshi! He went through gastrointestinal surgery for an obstruction in August and almost didn't make it. It is now November and he is doing so well just can't eat hard food:( But I love mushing his food twice a day and feeding my beautiful baby boy:)
