Smeared Ink Weekly DT Project and Very Sketchy S&S Challenge

Wishing all you Mum's out there a wonderful Mother's Day.

Made a card using this month's card sketch for the Very Sketchy Smeared and Smudged May 2014 Challenge, on the Smeared and Smudged Forum.

All stamps are from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club.  Grumpie and saying is from a Past Rubber Club Offering set called Creepy Lil' Grumpies (Aug 2013).  So this card fits with my Weekly Design Team project that only uses Smeared Ink stamps.

Silver Marker for bolts and eyebrows.

Flower layering embellie is from stash.  Crystal Effects on heart.

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...

31 DOH - Day 10 & Smeared and Smudged Forum & Punk You Girl Challenges

Hello again and welcome back to another day, Day 10, of 31 Days of Halloween, held by Smeared Ink and the Smeared and Smudged Forum.  You should have just left Roni and are now here, at Shoni aka Crafty Inknik's Blog.  The Wicked Blogger list is to the left and if you need more info on this awesome event, click on Terra's blog to help answer any questions.  Next, you will be off to Jenn's.

 

 The Smeared and Smudged Forum has lots of fun, month long challenges.  You can get free digital images, see some wonderful projects, and win amazing prizes.  Check it out!  This card will be in the Junk Funk Challenge.  You have to use envelops somehow in your project.  Either new or old, but old is better.

Can you guess what Punk You Girl's Challenge is??  Hum....October...It is Challenge #5, Halloween!  So for all you who get inspired to create a project, enter!  You've got til' the end of the month.

I admit it.  I am in love with the Smeared Ink Rubber Club set Creepy Lil' Grumpies.  They have stolen my heart.  This lil' grumpie was screaming to be used, but how?  

The new October challenges were posted on the forum.  A couple of years ago I got into Iris Folding.  I love the foil papers, but tend to be a little expensive.  

One smart lady said she uses the insides of her bill/junk mail envelops.  Have you ever noticed the security pattern on the insides?  Well these make perfect Iris Folding papers w/ really cool patterns.  And are FREE!  "Ding" went my brain and so this card was created.  I forgot how fun Iris Folding was.

Mesmerizing Deets & More Pics

Click on the pics to enlarge if you like.

I stamped the image of the 'shadow'.  

Cut out stamped image.

Cut my envelope strips into 1" width.

Fold in half.  The folded edge of the strip will face the center of your cut image.

I used Snail (Stampin' Up! adhesive, tape runner) all around cut 'shadow', and while making the folding pattern.

It is good to have 3 or 4 different patterns/colors of paper.  I used 3.  

Alternate A pattern, B pattern, and C pattern when adhering down.

Last picture is when all pieces are placed and the entire image is covered.

I did use scotch tape to extra secure pattern pieces down.

That's it.  Lots of free patterns out there and really fun.

Grumpie and candle were stamped onto main card and separate piece of card stock with Black Staze On.  Fussy cut body and candle then used dimensional to adhere and give a little depth.
Markers and Blender Pen to color in.
Crystal Effects on eyes and flame.

Background is stippled and sponged, then gone over with an Aqua Painter.

I used the same pieces of pattern to create a small frame edging.

Grumpie stamp and saying are from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club set Creepy Lil' Grumpies, August 2013 #2.
All materials used are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

Don't forget the CIP!
