ATC's and ATC Holder

ATC's

The ATC's are each printed out onto Whisper White card stock.
Each has a bit of fussy cut or torn edges. 
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.
On the upper right and lower left ATC's there is an extra layer of backgrounds that were made with acrylic paints and home made gelli plate.

Smeared Ink Rubber Club stamps used were from sets:
Dedicated to Art (Dec 2013)
Danse Macabre (Jan 2014)
Nymphs (Feb 2014)
Each of these sets can be viewed in the Rubber Club Past Offerings area.

Close up of Center ATC shows the Ranger Distress Crackle Paint, Clear Rock Candy, which is
covering each ATC.
A circle template was also used for this center background with sponge and ink.

Top right and lower left ATC's have punched chain card stock.  Punch is by EK.

Welcome to a wonderful February 1st.  Thanks so much for joining members of the Smeared Ink Design Team, Mixed Media University (MMU) Design Team, and the Art Journal Every Day Design Team (AJED) as we show off some of Smeared Ink's superb new images.  See more of what both teams have to offer over at the Smeared and Smudged ForumKapree just show us her wonderful card and up next is Ike with a wonderful page inspired by a great poem.

All the images you will see along the hop are available now at the Smeared Ink shop.  Enjoy and please let us all know what you think of our projects and the new images.

I was sooo excited to work with some of the new images from new sets Octopus Pie and The Keepers.  I have decided that I am going to make a 2015 Calender, 8 1/2" x 11", using only 2014 New Release Smeared Ink stamps.

I am also challenging myself a bit in that I am going to use mainly colored pencils for images and try to add more doodling to each page.  Thanks MMU and AJED teams for giving me confidence to try and do more!

I think that I am going to finish all 12 months before I put together and complete the calendar.  Just in case I change my mind on what I want to use for each month.  Then again, I just may throw them in a pile and randomly choose.  We will see....Anyway, here are the first two pages:
