Kickstart Your Art Day 3 and Smudgy Antics DT Project

These pages are so fun and so glad to be a part of Kickstart Your Art this year.  I am also up today for the Smudgy Antics Design Team project and have decided to combine today's post with KYA Day 3, since I have only used Smeared Ink stamps. 

The challenge for Day 3 is Collage.  Definition: a piece of art made by sticking various different materials such as photographs and pieces of paper or fabric onto a backing. A combination or collection of various things.
Log into Facebook and look for the Smeared and Smudge group and join in all the challenges and see some wonderful inspiration from members and the Design Team.

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY to get your Anything Goes projects in for January at Smudgy Antics!

Yup, think I can do this and VERY happy with how my page turned out.  One of my favorite colors is blue and had these papers out, so all the scraps and what not from that project I was able to use on this.  Woohoo!

My lass is from a Smeared Ink digital stamp set called Broken and Bleeding.  When I colored her in she originally had black eye centers, eyebrows, and lips.  But once she was on the page...had to find my Smooch Pealizied Accents and change that to a deep blue.  Hard to see in the pic because of the flash.

Layerin' Up the Details

Page was from my new homemade art journal that had not yet been base painted.

All designer papers, die cuts, punched pieces, ribbons, wahsi tape, doilies, printed vellum, and embellies from stash.
The Jewel Rhinestones were colored over with a black Sharpie.
Skellie on flower is from a winnings I received from the wonderful Creepy Glowbugg.  I use her fab embellies sparingly, but this page was calling out for it!

Image from Broken and Bleeding was printed onto Very Vanilla card stock.  Colored in with Blendabilities and markers.  Fussy cut, then adhered to page.

Silent Hill

I have started an Art Journal this new year that features wonderful ladies.

They are full of surprises and lots of fun.

I am continuing my "ladies journal" for this week long challenge.

This Silent Hill inspired nurse has got a mind of her own and 

is not afraid to stand out from her friends.  

She thinks that since we are already dead, hey it's okay to have other thoughts than just freaking out visitors and killing.

We should all be inspired by her.

 Her thoughts say "Silent Hill my stitched ASS!  More like SMOKIN' HOT NURSE HILL.  Am I right ladies?  Ladies...?!?"

 

Can't Crack These Deets

I stared my AJ page with a piece of Very Vanilla card stock.

Placed pins all over cs.

Used Dylusional and a Maya Mist Spray Inks to ink cs.  This was a learning process because the pins were so thin that I had to hold bottles pretty high so that the ink "rained" down onto cs.

A random flame template was placed in certain areas and once again used Dylusional Spray Ink, Lemon Zest, to make flames.  

White Chalk Marker to make steam and steam flames.

Stamps from Haunted Places #1 (Sept 2013) were inked with Early Espresso ink and stamped in lower left corner and upper right side.  Clear Embossing powder over each image and heat set.  Images drawn for Smeared Ink by Rick St. Dennis and were a Smeared Ink Rubber Club past offering.

Used a stencil, by Prima, and Basic Black ink to sponge in cracks in upper left corner and along bottom of page.  Sponged ink along those crack edges.

Printed out SH Monster Hill Nurse, by Rick St. Dennis, onto Very Vanilla card stock.

Colored in with inks and Blender Pen.

Tore bits of masking tape and placed over main area of dress to give more texture and make fabric look more realistic.  Went over drawn lines with fine tip black Sharpie.  Fussy cut and adhered to page.

White Chalk marker over her hat, sleeves, shoes.

Sliver marker on blade.

 
Black Sharpie to out line her and for words and cloud thoughts.

Crystal Effects over entire nurse.

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