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.

Bo Knows Beauty- S&S Forum Challenge

Are you tired yet??  I am!  Last post for tonight and on to some R&R w/ a yummy rummy drink.

Freaky Freebie Challenge at the Smeared and Smudged Forum lets you download a FREE digital image from Smeared Ink.  This month featured a sweet little gal so named Killer Bo Peep.

I had an empty canning jar that I did not know what to do with.  I have also been wanting to make a sugar scrub, but have yet to buy all ingredients.  Went on to Google and found a facial "mask" recipe that I had all the ingredients for.  How perfect is this to fit in my personal challenge to use a mask somewhere in my project!

For my project Bo is the head of a beauty line that only uses the freshest ingredients.  Here is her Lambkin Honey Facial Mask:

DETAILS
Bo
Bo had to be altered somewhat, since in the original she is frowning.  Now, the leader of a beauty line needs to friendly and smiling.  So I used a fine tip Black Sharpie to adjust her mouth.
I also altered the bow in her hair to have polka dots and the staff bottom to a sharp point.
 
Markers and a gold marker, to color in images.

Saying by Bo's head is stamped with Basic Black ink. It is from a set called Teeny Tiny Wishes, from Stampin' Up! (SU!)

I used same sharpie to write in other sayings.

Stuffing from one of my kids pillow is glued to her hair and on jar.

Jar
The recipe I wrote on inside of Bo tag fits perfect into canning jar.  I am going to try it out this week and see how long it lasts.  Will post an update on how recipe does in a week.

I used some retired SU! chevron fabric for cover.  Bows are Summer Starfruit Satin Stitched and Daffodil Delight Seam Binding Ribbon.  Large grey ruffle is Basic Gray Two-Tone Ribbon (retired SU!).

I used a hat pin and hand made skull from Creepy Glowbugg.

Tag is stamped with Basic Gay ink, set Chalk Talk, and cut with Chalk Talk Framelit (SU!).
