Smeared Ink Weekly DT Project and ASiD #5

Hope everyone had a wonderful fourth of July!  We were busy camping all week and now I finally get to play with some new wonderful purchases that have arrived while I was gone.  Woo hooo!

For this post I have created an Art Journal Page using Smeared Ink stamps an oldie but goodie technique that involves Clorox Bleach.

A Step In The Dark now has Challenge #5 - Dark Fantasy or Anything Goes up and ready.  Please see the fab inspiration done by their DT this round....WOW!

Sure...these are the Deets....
My Smeared Ink stamps are from the set called FRINGE (May 2014 #2).  You can get this rockin' set in the Rubber Club Past Offerings.  Join the Smeared Ink Rubber Club and receive a unique set each month.

Page was created by using Dylusion Spray inks, two colors.
Once dry, a Dyan Reaveley stencil was placed on the darker side.  With paint brush and bleach, I used a stencil as a guide to take away the darker color.
Again, once the bleach was dry, I used ink that kinda matched my lighter color and colored in with an Aqua Painter.
Placed stencil back over finished leaves and used a black journaling pen to help define shapes.

White Gel pen and black journaling pen to make vines/swirls, and highlights on leaves.

Stamps were inked with Versa Mark Ink and stamped onto dry page.
Black Embossing Powder over stamped images and heat set with gun.

Paint brush and Clorox Bleach once more over embossed images.
Re-painted images with inks.

Orange and leaves more vibrant in real life. 
All materials used are current Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

Rock N' Rolla March Smeared and Smudged Challenge

Finished up a scrapbook page for the Rock N' Rolla March Challenge over at the Smeared and Smudged Forum. 

One last weekend to get those projects done!  I have done pretty well this month and still can not believe that March is almost over.

The video inspiration for this month is Oasis - All Around the World.  There are so many wonderful visuals in this one video it was hard to choose.  So I took what lasted with me.

Have a crafty weekend everyone!

Weekly Smeared Ink Design Team Project

Oh no, I think that I am going to have A LOT of Art Journals.  But that's okay, the only thing is where am I going to put them!  Not to worry, I will find a spot. 

For this week's Smeared Ink Weekly Design Team Project I have made a new Art Journal.  This was inspired from the Art Journal Every Day Group on the Smeared and Smudged Forum.  I have used Prompt #13 & #16 along with Technique #16.

Prompts #13 is be inspired by the Big Top.  Prompt #16 use a Manilla folder for your Art Journal/page.  Technique #16 is building with ink, watercolor, and Gesso.  Thank You Laura B. and Susan Slayer for your prompts and techniques!

Stamps are from the Past Offerings of the Smeared Ink Rubber Club, Carnies (Dec 2013) and Dedicated to Art (Dec 2013).

Behind the Curtains

I cut my Manilla folder in half so that I could get two half folders out of it.  They measure 5 3/4" x 9".

Used Envelope Board to make more file tops on ends for each of the folders.

Layers of Ranger Distressed Inks, Watercolor crayons, White Gesso, Staz On inks, and Stampin' Up! inks. 
Aqua Painter, paint brush, Tombow Glue, and stencils also used.

Gold Smooch Spritz.

Fine tip Black Sharpie for written words.

Designer Paper is from a set called Big Top (SU! retired).

Images were stamped onto copy paper, fussy cut, and adhered on.

Snake Charmer was gone over with Versa Mark ink, Clear Embossing Powder and heat embossed.

Note:  Next time I think that I am not going to go over my main images with Gesso.  Tried to do it lightly but really lost color once Gesso was dried.

Smudgy Antics Week 2 DT Project - Fire and Ice

It is Week #2 for the challenge at Smudgy Antics.  The theme is Fire and Ice.

We would love to see your creativity on this and have you play along.

Be sure to check this Week #2 inspiration,and if you have missed Week #1 Design Team project, click HERE.

I have 2 projects to share.  The first is to the second part of my Ice from last week.  My Fire is a card for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.  Some creatures prefer human to turkey for this time of year.  So get the pit stoked and the spit greased on this icy, chilly night...gobble gobble.

"take a load off."

"get lit for the holidays."

"gobble, gobble."

My second project is also a card.  I have used a cold as ice Vamp who is smokin' hot.  I apologize for the flash, it took away her icy blue skin tone.

Hot Deets for Card #1

I told you I was having too much fun with the Gross Anatomy digi set from Smeared Ink.  Image was printed out and fussy cut.  I did cut off the arms.

A bobby pin was used for the turning mechanism that the body is on.

Markers to color in body.  Crystal Effects on the inerreds.

Fire/flames were made with Crystal Effects on a silicone sheet, shaped and let dry.  I then used markers to give some color and scissors to make more flame like flows.

Fire pit and background images are stamps from past offerings of the Smeared Ink Rubber Club set Haunted Places (Sept 2013), drawn by Rick St. Dennis.  

Each is stamped with Black Staze On and colored in with markers and a Blender Pen.

Background color is sponged onto a piece of Whisper White card stock. 

Sayings are from the set Occasions Grumpies (Sept 2013), also from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club.  They are stamped in Black Staze On.

Entire card from was spritzed with Vanilla Smooch Spritz.

Cool and Smoky Details for Card #2

Icy Vamp is from a set by Smeared Ink called Glam Vamps digi set.  Printed out and colored in with markers and a Blender Pen.

She is then fussy cut and adhered onto from with Crystal Effects.

Flames on background were sponged in with a stencil.  I then fussy cut and adhered with Crystal Effects.

Background is a piece of Smoky Gray card stock that was previously printed on.  I used one of the new digi papers from Smeared Ink called Slasher.  I used the Marina Mist ink pad directly onto the card stock to give the blue ice color.

A White Chalk marker is the outlining around the flames.

The ice chunks for the frame were a happy accident.  My kids always seem to have those small bouncy balls laying around the house.  I accidently vacumed one up the other day and had to dig it out.  It was broken, in chunks and looked like ice.  So I used it!  Thought it turned out pretty "cool", hahahaaaa...

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

Smudgy Antics Color Challenge DT Project Week #2

 Smudgy Antics is on Week #2 of the Color Challenge.  

Get working on those wonderful ideas and enter your project.  

The Design Team has some tasty eye candy for you today.  

You must use at least 3 of the colors, which are: 

Dark Grey, Magenta, Dark Green, Black, and Dark Orange.

I used 4 colors, Dark Grey, Magenta, Dark Green, and Black.

I  was inspired to make some candy holders, after seeing Day 7 of Croms' Cubby Hole, or Helen (second on the 31 Days of Halloween Wicked Blogger List).  I did not use TP rolls, but love the idea of these fun little candy holders.

I debated on putting the bat on or not, but went ahead in the spirit of the month.  

So don't wimp out on that one scarey house while trick-or-treating...you know they have the best candy, the BIG chocolate bars!

Creaking Details

Candy Holders
One of Smeared Ink's new wonderful digital papers was used for the design on the boxes.  I used Red Butterfly from the Madame Butterfly set.  I used Picasso to change the color to Magenta and Dark Gray.  Then printed out on Whisper White card stock (CS).

I also used the digi set Calaveras from Smeared Ink.  It is hard to see but I used Sugar Skulls #3, #4 and the Candle.  I printed the images in black onto the same CS as before.

CS was cut in half and used with Candy Wrapper Die (retired) from Stampin' Up!.
Ends were colored in with Basic Gray ink and Aqua Painter.

I tied them all together with Black 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon (SU!).

The Smeared and Smudged Forum has a place to Swap.  I have gotten myself in trouble and burning the 3:00 am oil because I signed up for 1 too many.  So, having learned my lesson, I only do 2 a month.  What is great is that this is an ATC swap, which I do not do that many of.

Silent Deets

Background

This is a 5" x 5" square piece of the card board that comes in the Stampin' Up! Designer Paper packs to help keep the paper from being bent.

I used Gumball Green ink pad directly onto backing to cover entire area.

"Rock wall" is cut up pieces of the left over rubber from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club stamp sets.  Adhered with Tombow glue. 

I added White Gesso over rubber pieces and let dry.

Very hard to see, but once Gesso was dry, I inked again with Tangerine Tango ink.

31 DOH - Day 20 and Airless Chambers and Punk You Girl Challenges

Welcome to DAY 20 of the 31 Days of Halloween event, hosted by Smeared Ink and the Smeared and Smudged Forum.  To find out who the daily winners are click HERE, also Terra's Blog.  She is the first one on the Wicked Blogger List located to your left.
Roni just shared her Halloween creation and Jenn's is up next.  You are now at Shoni aka Crafty Inknik's Blog.

I have made a fun little 3 1/2" x 11" card featuring Rick St. Dennis' little lady, Callista.  See her featured HERE.  Get over to Airless Chambers and sign up for the Newsletter.  Subscribers received her FREE this month, so don't miss out.  I will be entering this project in the October Newsletter Freebie Contest.

Next up is a Halloween Challenge #5 over at Punk You Girl.  If it's Halloween they want it! 

I have had this shoe pattern for a long time and thought it would be fun to try it with this card.  Witches seem to have the most fabulous shoes (Esp the ones Rick draws!).  Callista had some bones and candy left over, so thought she would fly over and give a little gift to her best friend.  Enjoy Day 20 everyone!

Cast of Deets
Callista
Callista was printed out 2x on Whisper White card stock.
I pulled out some pastels from The Stencil Connection, which I believe is out of business.  I think I bought these 10 or so years ago...and probably using them for the 3rd time!  Anyway, she is colored with the pastels.  Then I went over with markers and Blender Pen to add a little more depth. 
She is fussy cut and adhered over second image.  I outlined her with a marker.  I did cut out the eyes of her and snake (which I realized later that the eye is backwards) so that the whiteness would really pop.  I used the white Gel Pen on buckle (on hat) and her laces.

The star she is originally holding is replaced by the head from on of the stamps in the Voodoo set from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club, also drawn by Rick St. Dennis.  Head is stamped in black marker and fussy cut and colored in with markers and Blender Pen.

Since Callista loves casting spells, I had to add a slip of paper in her apron.  Paper says spells, which I wrote w/ fine tip black Sharpie and smeared a bit of ink on it.  Used an Exacto knife just above line and slipped under.

Callista's favorite broom, her great great great great great great grandmother's, was made from a poor skeleton that got broken down for parts.  Broom is upper and lower leg bones.  Linen Thread is wrapped and cut for broom bottom.

Background
Before finished Callista was added, I used a stamp from Urban Decay (April 2013) a Smeared Ink Rubber Club past offering, over entire background.
Saying "I put a spell on you" is from Creepy Lil' Grumpies (August 2013), Smeared Ink Rubber Club.
I added an old Stampin' Up! color, Green Galore (retired), to the entire background.
All sides were Spritzed with Cut Grass Dylusions Ink Spray.
Last, stars from Stampin' Up! set, Seeing Stars, were stamped in Craft White ink.

Shoe
Shoe is out of Basic Black card stock. 
Flower is a mixture of Epson salt and water brushed onto Basic Black card stock, then let to dry.  I punch out with Pansy Punch.
Metal flower, lace ribbon on bag, and green Designer Paper are retired SU! products.
Bones are from broken down skeleton.
Hard to see, but there is a Jewel Rhinestone in the center of flower under hand.
Washi Tape from set out of Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Catalog, Witches Brew Designer Washi Tape.

All stamps used are from Smeared Ink for Smeared Ink Only Friday.  This DP is pretty busy and I wanted to subtly add layers of a lot of stamps to go w/ the busy background.  I did use a Kissing Technique with Poe and one of the grid stamps.

Poe Knows Deets
I used almost every stamp out of this awesome Quoth The Raven (February 2013), from the past offerings of the Smeared Ink Rubber Club. 
I also used the "happy halloween" from the Creepy Lil' Grumpies (August 2013). 
Click HERE and see what great sets are up for November.

I am also placing this page in the Smeared and Smudged Forum Challenge, Very Sketchy.  To the left is the scrapbook page sketch that you are to follow as your guideline.

I love this new paper Smeared Ink is offering...sooo cool and altered it a bit with my Picasso tools.  The stamp is from a past Smeared Ink Rubber Club offering.  That pet totally creeps me out.  I found the quote and it fit just too perfect.  I think I may print off some black an white pictures of my husband and stick them all over the web.  Since this month is all about the chills and thrills I give you both!

A Wicked Knot of Details
Background is from Caught In My Web Background Paper Pack, 7 pages for $4.50!!  I altered with my Picasso tools and printed out onto copy paper.

Main image and "Hello My Pet" saying from the set Femdom, January 2013, past Smeared Ink Rubber Club offering. 

"good boy" is from a retired Stampin' Up! set called Everyday Flexible Phrases.  Both sayings were stamped in Versa Mark ink and heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.

Main image was stamped with Versa Mark and heat embossed with Black Embossing Powder.  Wrap on her arm colored with marker.

Spiders and dripping blood punches, I believe are both Martha Stewart.  White Chalk marker used to make hour glass on spiders, then colored over with marker.

Delicate Lace Tape on lower left corner of page and on right side of main image matte.

Saying "Escape from the black widow spider is a miracle as great as art.  What a web she can weave slowly drawing you to her she'll embrace you then when she's satisfied she'll kill you still in her embrace and suck the blood from you."  Charles Bukowski, Love is a Dog from Hell.  Printed onto copy paper in red and black.  Cut and adhered.

Card stock used is Basic Black, Real Red, and Whisper White.
All materials used are Stampin' Up! and are current unless otherwise noted.

31 DOH - Day 14 and DT Project for Smudy Antics

Day #14 of the 31 Days of Halloween event, held by Smeared Ink and the Smeared and Smudged Forum.  To start from the beginning, see daily winners, and for more info check out Terra's Blog.

The Wicked Blogger list is on your left under my personal info.  You should have just seen Roni's blog and are now here at Shoni aka Crafty Inknik's blog.  Up next is Jenn.


I have done some glass etching for this project.  I used another favorite stamp from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club set Morte, drawn by Rick St. Dennis.  I was inspired by Rick's wonderful painted glass/mug last week on Airless Chambers, click HERE to see his amazing project.  The last time I tried this, I had used small stamps on small glass candle holders.  Love that I have some bigger, wickedly drawn images to do more with.

I am also sooooo happy and excited to announce that I am part of the wonderful Smeared Ink Design Team, on the Smeared and Smudged Forum.  I have appreciated the warmth, the fantastic digital and rubber stamps, and the other Design Team members for their wonderful creativity every week.  Thank you again for this amazing opportunity Terra and Tori!

This glass is also my first DT project for the Smudgy Antics Challenge blog.  There is one week left for the Smeared Ink Only challenge.  Digi's and stamps by Smeared Ink can only be used, lets see what you can create!

The Frosty Details
Glass was purchased at Walmart in a set of 12.
Stamp was inked with Versa Mark ink and placed onto glass.
Clear Embossing Powder was used over stamped image and heat set.  This may take a bit longer since the glass itself needs to heat up before the powder can melt.
Let image cool and bring glass back to room temperature, about 10-15 min.
I did stamp the same image on the other side and repeated next two steps.

Once cool again, I placed glass upside down on scrap paper.
Armour Etch, glass etching cream, was placed over entire glass with paintbrush.
I let glass sit for around 15 minutes.  Etching cream should mostly be dry and okay if there are some wet areas.
Rinse off with warm to hot water to take off dried cream AND the embossed powder.

When you embossed your image, you were keeping that part of the glass clear.  The embossing protected your stamped image from the Etching cream.

Your glass is ready for that Halloween party punch, or a gift, or for you to impress others with your mad skills.  These are dishwasher safe.
All materials are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

 

31 DOH - Day 13

Day #13 of the 31 Days of Halloween event, held by Smeared Ink and the Smeared and Smudged Forum.  To start from the beginning, see daily winners, and for more info check out Terra's Blog. 

You are now here at Shoni aka Crafty Inknik's and should have just left Roni's blog.  Jenn is next on the Wicked Blogger list, that is on your left if you just joined us. 

To answer a question from yesterday's post - Susan, I spritzed the back of the card stock with water to make more pliable.  So when I stuck it on the mask it was easier to form to the mask.  I think it is finally dry today!

Today I have and ATC.  It uses on the stamps from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club set Morte, drawn by Rick St. Dennis.  The dark side, fun, and lucky 13 is what this month is about. 

Sinful Deets
I placed the background die cut piece over Very Vanilla card stock and spritzed with Glimmer Mist Alaskan Salmon and Dylusions Cut Grass Ink Spray.
Took off die cut and used part of it for the background.  Adhered it to Basic Black backing.
Image stamped on with Black Staze On ink, colored in with markers, and then fussy cut and adhered.
"Welcome Baby" is stamped in Black Staze On and is from a retired Stampin' Up! set called Something to Celebrate.
I wrote the top saying with a black Sharpie.
Hard to see, but the cross and die have Gold marker on them.
I used clear micro beads and Crystal Effects over the main skull.
All materials are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

I told you I loved these Creepy Lil' Grumpies from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club.  I believe some where along the hop one of the Wicked Blogger did a 3" x 3" card and so inspired me to create today's lil' project.  You see the 3 different cards and fun little holder to place them in.  Love that 'Go Away' saying.  Happy Smeared Ink Friday!

My Lil' 'Ol Deets
All images and sayings were stamped in Black Staze On ink on Whisper White card stock, Stampin' Up!.
I used the same markers on each stamped image, to really make it look like a set.

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!
