Compendium of Curiosities 3 Challenge #26 - Smudge Stamping

Oh boy am I skating in under the wire for this one! ;-) Once again we are rocking along on the stupendous challenges put forth by the fabulous Linda over at Studio L3. This time the challenge is Smudge Stamping as found on page 42 of Tim Holtz's book, A Compendium of Curiosities Vol. 3. I can't share the technique, you should get the book because it's jam-packed with great techniques! I have some upcoming needs for thank you cards so I'm killing two birds with one stone. (No, I'm not really killing birds but they sure make a great card subject! ha ha)


We are always grateful for the sponsors of the challenges and their generous prizes they donate. This time the sponsor is The Funkie Junkie Boutique, thank you! Be sure to head on over to the Studio L3 blog and check out all the inspiring artwork shared by the Curiosity Crew and other entrants. Oodles of eye candy await you!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope I've inspired you to go get creative. The supplies I used for these cards can be found at Inspiration Emporium.

I will also point out that US shipping is always $5 and international shipping is just $10 at IE. ;-)

    Love your smudgly cards! Wow, the Creative Crew is going to have their work cut out for them picking a CCC this time around! I always like to pick a winner in my own mind, and this time I just can't do it! They are all winners! Your purple egg just really caught my eye!

    Wonderful work! And it makes all the difference that your smudges are well organized into to clean looking "compartments". Have a great creative journey.....and make the time. This mom is trying to do that too! :)

    Wow, do I love these cards. Love how you arranged the cut-apart pieces on the first one in particular. Your smudge staying is wonderful on both. Way to rock this challenge!
