Weekly DT Project and Anything Goes January Challenge

Monday.
Yup.
Did get some cards finished and one of them is for my Weekly Smeared Ink Design Team Project.  I have used one of my favorite Smeared Ink Rubber Club stamps for the card I am sharing today.  Smeared Ink has some great little characters in both digital and rubber form called Grumpies.

Since my card only contains Smeared Ink stamps, I am also going to show it off in the Smudgy Antics Anything Goes Challenge on the Smeared and Smudged Forum.  Check out the free Smeared and Smudged Forum for more Challenges, Mixed Media and Art Journal groups, and unique projects posted for you to be inspired by.

I have succeeded in making a home made gelli plate and now have tons of awesome background pieces.  Acrylic paints, along with a Brayer and brushes have made up the background for my card today.  More deets below...

Finding All The Deets

I stamped my ghost Grumpie from one of the past offering Smeared Ink Rubber Club stamp sets, Creepy Lil' Grumpies (August 2013 set #2) with Black Staze On.

Stamped images where then fussy cut out of one side of inked background.
Stamped images again on cut ink background that I used on the card.
Used marker to color in eyes of each cut Grumpie to help them pop a bit more.
Dimensional used to give more dimension to the cut Grumpies which were adhered to the card front.

Layered card stock onto card base, Midnight Muse card stock.
Wrote words with pen, cut and layered.
Used dimensionals to adhere to left side of card front.

Crystal Effects over words and eye centers of Grumpies.
All materials used are current Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

Ike's World Challenges - DT Project for Challenge #9

I hope you have Ike's World Challenges on your blog list.  There are some fab challenges, wonderful inspiration from our Design Team AND Ike is offering a FREE image for you to design with!  Join in the challenges and win a great prize, you just have to use an image from Ike's Art or the free one to be able to claim the prize.  Check it out.

For my Ike's World Challenges Design Team project, I have made a door/wall hang.  Challenge #9 is Anything Goes.  I used the image Shelf Kat, which was the free image for a previous challenge.

My son love cats.  He got a book called I Could Pee on This - And other Poems by Cats, by Francesco Marciuliano, for Christmas.  We sat one afternoon and read some, and LOVED them.  We have 3 cats and have always had a cat.  So, reading these poems, by cats, was hilarious.  So the book title and the poem inspired this project.

 

Soiled Details

 

I printed out Shelf Kat 4 times.

Fussy cut and with each layer, I cut off a piece of Kat.  This is to add dimension and got this technique from Ike herself.

Each layer of Shelf Kat was colored in with inks and an Aqua Painter.

I adhered layers with dimensions.

Crystal Effects on the eyes, nose, and inside ears.

Marker for the Poem, hand written.

Aqua Painter to make the sploches on background.

Gold Smooch Shimmer Spritz on background as well.

Card stock layers for base are Early Espresso, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, then Whisper White (what Shelf Kat is on).

Crushed Curry Chevron Ribbon, Gold Bakers Twine, and an orange Bakers Twine (from scraps) for hand and ribbon.

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

Smeared and Smudged Forum Challenges - Very Sketchy Card & Anything Goes

So happy to take a little break from all the sewing I have been doing this past couple of weeks.  I am trying to get a jump on some Christmas presents, how are you all fairing w/ yours?

Be sure to stop by tomorrow for Smeared Ink's December Blog Hop and you will see what I have been making.

I have made a 'Get Well' winter card following the Very Sketchy Card sketch on the Smeared and Smudged Forum.  I switch up the layers a bit and so love this guy.  I have also only used Smeared Ink images for my card so will also be entering this in the Anything Goes Challenge.  These challenges last all month long, so get crafting people!

Musically Challenged #14 and Anything Goes S&S Forum Challenges

I have 2 challenges that I am entering this project in today. 
I am trying out an Art Journal, so you may see more AJ pages in the next couple of months, and hopefully longer.  I am new to the whole AJ thing, and what is funny is that I hate journaling.  But that is what fonts, magazines, and die cuts are for!

Musically Challenged, Challenge #14 is a video/song by Falling In Reverse - Bad Girl's Club.  Your project can be anything, but must be handmade and inspired by the current challenge video. 

Anything Goes Challenge on the Smeared and Smudged Forum - You have to use ONLY Smeared Ink images/stamps on your project, which can be anything (card, scrapbook page, altered item, etc.).
