Happy Monday and last day of June to all of you hoppers out there today.  Here at Smeared Ink we, the Design Team have such wonderful stamps and papers to work with it is hard to choose a project each month.  

 

You may have arrived from Kapree, and I hope you have left her some input on her wonderful project.  We all love to have feedback and so appreciate and welcome any comments.  Up next is Creepy Glowbugg, who always has such creative inspiration.

 

I have decided to work with the Lil' Grumpies set, which I immediately fell in love with the first time I saw them.  I believe they were also the first full set of digital images I purchased from Smeared Ink.  This week we in the states celebrate the 4th of July.  I have made a little table display, Grumpie Style.

Have a great week and be sure to "Party like a Grumpie."

Each was colored in with color pencils, markers, inks, Blender Pen and Aqua Painter.

Base of each ATC is different colors of blue card stock.

Welcome to the February Smeared Ink Design Team monthly blog hop!  

This month we have been given the theme of REDRUM as are muse to do with as we wish.

Please enjoy what we have created for you and visit the Smeared and Smudged Forum for more inspiration from us and other members.

I have made a framed piece using the Gross Anatomy digi set from Smeared Ink.  I was inspired by the bathroom mirror scene in The Shining by Steven King.  Just some images of what is on the other side of the mirror at an old haunted hotel... 

Sliced and Diced Deets

Frame was purchased at Walmart.

I took out the glass and sprayed with Krylon Mirror spray paint with 2-3 coats.

Once spray paint was dry, I scratched the word in the paint.

I used Cranberry Apple Barrel Acrylic Paint for the red areas.

Gross Anatomy images were printed out and altered just a bit with my Picasso software to help darken a bit to see through the paint.

Placed and adhered images to backing and re-framed.

Rocio - So Sorry but not able to participate this month

Hello and hope you are having a great time on the first Smeared Ink Design Team Blog Hop for 2014.  Be sure to check back the last Monday of every month because we will be getting crafty just for you. 

You may have just arrived from Kapree's fab blog, and are now here at Shoni aka Crafty Inknik.   Up next is Ike and her wonderful project.

Smeared Ink has so many wonderfully fun images and for this January DT Blog Hop we had to choose one of our favorite images.  This was very hard, but I kept thinking about one image.  It was the image I used on my first DT project back in October when I officially became a Smeared Ink DT member.  This rubber stamp is from the set Morte (June 2013 drawn by Mr. Rick St. Dennis) and is from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club.

The Details are in the Frame

Two things inspired this wall hang.  One was the Junk Funk January Challenge over at the Smeared and Smudged Forum.  The challenge is Packaging.  It can be packaging from Christmas or general packaging you have got ready to go in the recycling bin.  I have a box that did contain a Christmas gift and so decided to use and alter it.

The second inspiration was coffee filters.  I wanted to try something different and something that I have not played with for a while.  Usually I used ink and dye the filters, but saw some great looking frames that inspired me to create mine.

The bottom part of the box was covered with dryer sheets and Black Gesso.  It was then opened to lay flat.  I had folded and twisted a whole bunch of filters to look like little fans.  Each one was then hot glued with a glue gun to make a frame.  I did two layers for the frame.

Grosgrain Black Striped Ribbon (retired SU!) was then hot glued to cover the twisted ends of the coffee filters.

Stamp from Morte, Smeared Ink Rubber Club past offering set, was ink with Versa Mark ink.  I stamped image in the center on the Gesso-ed dryer sheet.  Silver Embossing Powder over image and then heat set with heat gun.  I did use a Versa Mark marker to make the cracks around face go a bit further towards the ribbon.  Repeat with Silver EP and heat gun.

Frame was spritzed with Silver Smooch Spritz all around to give a moldy appearance.

Embellies are from stash and hot glued on.

You know I had to use Crystal Effects somewhere (!!) and did use on eyes of main image and each of skull sockets on frame.

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