JUNE MEMBER BLOG HOP

Alter A Found Object

 "No cards or scrapbook pages allowed, your item must be 3-D and must have started out as something you found at a thrift store, on the side of the road, in the back of your closet, etc. Show us how you can truly change up that ugly old lamp, or re-cover that forgotten recipe book, the possibilities are endless! Also, don't forget the S&S rule that is has to be stamped somewhere (digi stamps are fine) – we love when you use Smeared Ink stamps, but it is NOT a requirement."

I did find this wonderful Raggedy Ann doll in the thrift store for $3.  When I saw this I knew at once I wanted to try to put on the face from the digi image Angry Annie by Rick St. Dennis.  More details below on how this sweet innocent doll turned into a murderous miss.

Smeared Ink Design Team Monthly Blog Hop

Lots of madness, craziness, and insanity going on in the month of March and what better way to celebrate than Smeared Ink style!

March Madness is the theme for this month's Design Team project.  Two of my fellow teamies were able to join me in the Blog Hop this month.   Please leave some love for each and let them know what you think of their madness!

SHONI - you are here @ Crafty Inknik

I have made a mini quote album from the lid of a Prego jar.  I have used a Smeared and Smudged Forum March Junk Funk Challenge to be part of this project as well.  I have found some great quotes on madness and insanity that I hand wrote and placed on the punched pages.  I hope to keep adding quotes I find.

 

Deets of Madness

My lid came from a Prego jar which I used Black Gesso around the edges.

Top image is from a Smeared Ink digital paper set called Poe Boy.  Printed out, punched and adhered to top of lid.  Crystal Effects over entire top image.

I used a 2 1/2" circle punch for each of the pages.  Pages are double sided, random designer paper and card stock.  

 

Each side is stamped with a Past Rubber Club Offering, Morte (June 2013 / Rick St. Dennis).

White Baker's Twine to hold it all together along with Sticky Strip.

Pages fold up and fit perfect inside the lid.

                                       Quotes

             "In a mad world, only the mad are sane."

                           - Akira Kurosawa

"If you think anyone is sane you just don't know enough about them."

- Christopher Moore

"I have felt the wind on the wing of madness."

- Charles Baudelaire

"I become insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity."

- Edgar Allen Poe

"You're given a little spark of madness.  You must use it."

- Robin Williams

Smeared Ink Weekly DT Project

A busy week and headed out this weekend for a little get away.  Hope you all have a great weekend and be sure to stop by on Monday for the Smeared Ink Design Team Blog Hop.

For this project I am going to show the first page in a book that I have created using the Smeared Ink digital set Framed Rhymes.  I love nursery rhymes and just had to have when I saw Smeared Ink style nursery rhymes! 

The first of four is Mary Mary Quite Contrary. 

 

Growing the Details

Besides Framed Rhymes, I also used a Smeared Ink Rubber Club set called Killer Bo which is one of this months offering.  It has some great plants and skellie plants.

The edging around each page is masking tape, scrunched and wadded.

I then used White Gesso over the entire page to cover the original book.

Silver Metallic Inka Rub over edging.

Images was printed out onto card stock and colored in with markers and Blender Pen.

Random things from stash added to make page floral.

Sayings were printed out onto copy paper.

Inks, sprays, markers all used to make background colors and for stamped images.

All materials used are current Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

Snoozin' on the Deets

Image from the Smeared Ink digital set Eyes In The Dark, was printed out 8 times.

This was Technique #7 - Fussy Cut Layering found in the Smeared and Smudged Forum in the new Mixed Media Group.

Each image was colored in with inks and Blender Pen.

Then each image was fussy cut and with each layer, a section of the image was cut off, this achieves the great dimension and layering.

I used dimensionals to adhere each layer.

Versa Marker Pen around cut layer edges.  Gold Embossing Powder over marked areas and a heat gun to set.

Once all put together, Crystal Effects was used over entire owl and set aside to dry.

I used the 1/2" Watercolor Wonder Designer Washi Tape from Stampin' Up! (2014 Occasions Catalog) to cover wooden clothes pin and the entire back of owl once it was dried.

Sticky Strip to adhere owl to cloths pin.

All materials used are current Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

Whaddya Think?

When I first joined Smeared and Smudged I immediately checked out the challenges.  The project that I am posting today is for a Junk Funk challenge where you recycle something in your home.  This month it is newspaper.
Now you can do a lot with newspaper and my initial go to was paper mache.  But the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to do something different, out of the box.
My inspiration for this project was the face coming out of the wallpaper, only with newspaper.  I scrunched and spritzed and glued for an outcome that I never knew I could create.  All I did was try, and so should you.
I am also going to join in the Left of Center Creative Challenge this round.
I thought it would be fun to make the picture look like it was the "morning" paper.
So, Whaddya Think?

THE DEETS:
I started with scrunching up about 1/4 of one newspaper page.
Then scrunched up and spritzed with water 1/2 of a page.  This 1/2 page went over the smaller balled up one to help form the bulk of the head.
I glued the top 1/2 down, with Tombow, on all sides to another piece of newspaper as the base.
I then formed the head by pulling and scrunching to make the mouth and eyes.
Once I had the basic form of the face, I tore off more pieces of newspaper to go around the sides to help with the look of the face coming out of the newspaper base.
I made sure to dry after any water or spritzing just in case of molding.

I spritzed with a mixture of alcohol, re-inker, and water.  I used Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake re-inkers (SU!).

I stamped the flame images (The Great Outdoors stamp set - SU!).  Then colored in with markers and punched out.  I set in eye sockets and covered with Crystal Effects.

Once the eyes were dry I went randomly over raised areas and around base with an Acrylic Paint Dabber, Espresso.  Then used a sponge as well with the same paint.

I wanted to Steampunk this up a bit, so I Versa Marked a small 3" x 3" piece of newspaper.  Then used Pewter Embossing Powder to emboss.  I impressed the cogs (on head and side) with the stamps from a set called Clockworks (SU!).  Cut them out and tore strips to add faux metal to project.
Raided my husbands tool box and found some washers, screws, and other metal objects which were glued down.

I spitzed again with Tattered Angels Chalkboard called Alaskan Salmon and Gold Smooch Spritz (SU!) to finish off the coloring on the project.

I found some headlines in our local paper and adhered them with Crystal Effects.

Since I wanted to make the head look like it was out of the paper itself, I glued newspaper base to 1/2 of a piece of newspaper.  Once dry, I again glued the bigger base to the left side of our local paper.  I used Crystal Effects to adhere all the edges of each base down.
