February's Smeared and Smudged Member's Blog Hop: Cracked and Broken

Happy Thursday Everyone!
Today is our monthly Smeared and Smudged Member Hop and the theme for February is
Cracked and Broken! 
Sit back, relax, hop and enjoy!

Cracked and Broken - without the rib cage overlay


 I'm still in the Bloody Valentine mood so here's my interpretation of this month's theme!
My 3D paper arts piece is dark, twisty and portrays that having a broken heart feels like your rib cage has been cracked open and your broken heart exposed!

Cracked and Broken - with the rib cage overlay
Three cracked hearts from Smeared Ink's Heart Wings rubber stamp set with a transparency printed rib cage sourced off the web encasing the hearts and flanked by two mirror images of Girl 4 from Smeared Ink's the Other Side of Fear digis. 

Cracked and Broken - without the ribcage overlay
The hearts were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and the girl was printed onto Neenah Solar White cardstock.  The images were all coloured with Copics and fussy cut out and the hearts have Inkssentials Matte Accents applied to just the cracked areas.  Everything was adhered with Scotch Quick Dry adhesive and the transparency overlay was attached with staples.  It was hard to photograph with the rib cage overlay, it does look quite effective with it on in person though!  

Cracked and Broken - with the rib cage overlay
You've got one more stop so I hope you've enjoyed our little hop and see you again for the March one!  Now off you go to see what Susan has for you!

Happy Stamping!
