to Day 1 of the
Smeared and Smudged
31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop!
During the month of October I am participating in a month-long blog hop with some amazing artists. Everyday you will find a new Halloween project on all of the blogs listed to the right under the 31 Days of Halloween Badge. There are prizes to win, be sure to check out all the rules HERE. Information on the daily scavenger hunt is posted there! You must go HERE to find the item/s you are looking for in the scavenger hunt. Have fun and Good Luck!
My project today is an altered card. My good friend and awesome photographer, Catherine McEwen Whalen, is owner of Soulful Nature Photography. She gave me a set of her Raven Cards on our last visit. I let her know I just might use them for the Halloween Blog Hop. You will find the Raven and much more of her amazing photography in her shop HERE!

Raven Card from Soulful Nature Photography

Oh what a great project to start the hop, love the raven and those red circles! Fab! mo x
We all were in a kind of Poe state of mind! I love the bird your friend is as talented as you are! So far my first hop and my project are a little "Poey":) not a word I know. I love all the details and the stamps...my fave embellishment! Way to kick it off!
Love your card! That is a wonderful photo of the raven. Wonderful job show casing it!
Brilliant alteration! What a cool project, Lyneen. xxD
Really awesome card! Love the Raven and red accent! Thanks for sharing!~kim
Very cool, I love how you've altered the cards. I really like the acrylic you've added too.
What a wonderful job of incorporating all the different elements!
That is one gorgeous Raven. So great to see it in the shades of grey. I always try them in black, but this is stunning. Keep smiling and creating...just creeping through on day one of this hop.
Love this Lyneen! Especially enjoy the blood stains.
Ack! Love this card! Great rings, stamps (Viva!) and killer layers.
Fabulous raven card!!!
So am stealing the pencil eraser idea. I did one for the month but I used the tip of the paint pen. Yours is much easier.
Love the raven...A great start to 31 Days!
Very cool altered cards! I love The Raven also!
Wonderful photography and a simple technique makes a huge difference.
It looks like today is going to be a Poe day!! Great raven image on this card x
This would be an awesome party invite, thanks for sharing

What a fabulous way to showcase your friend's photography! Gorgeous Lyneen! Happy October!
I'm honored that you used my Poe's Raven image in your first Halloween post! LOVE what you did with this - the layers of color and other images are wonderful! The postage stamps AND the word stamps are Awesome!
Very spooky and very "Poe!"
Fab creation, loving how you altered the card.
Love that the real picture of the bird makes it that much more creepy.
Great idea. Love the "blood" spots.
