Smudgefest 2014 Day 6

Day 6 Challenge - Saturday Splatter - Create something splattery, oozing, drippy, or gooey.

I believe this blood thirsty bunny is a descendant from The Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog whom is mostly known for its small part in the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail.  Nothing says 20th century more than a pink hoodie!

Smeared and Smudged Freaky Freebie July & SoSS #13

One day left to get in some projects for July.  Can't believe that this month is almost done.  Well I hope that some of you are getting in some crafty time this summer!

For this post I have a card using the Freaky Freebie July 2014 image from one of the monthly challenges at the Smeared and Smudged Forum.

This card will also be entered into the current Challenge #13 - L is for Layers at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers blog.  You must use a max of 2 layers, no more.

This little guy has been sitting on my desk waiting to be finished.  He is just damn adorable and sending out hugs and kisses to all.

Showing off his sparkle:

Weekly SI DT Project and S&S Forum Very Sketchy Card

Back from a week away from the fam.  Such a great time at the Stampin' Up! Convention and so nice not to cook or clean.

Home now and ready to enjoy the second half of the summer.  Okay, on to the post!

Today is my Weekly Smeared Ink Project which was inspired by the Very Sketchy Card sketch for July over at the Smeared and Smudged Forum.  I had colored in this image before I left and have been thinking on how to use it.  My layers are a bit different but the base structure is there.

The third week after school was out, I kept hearing from my kids that they were so boooorrrreeed.  Well I gave them plenty of options, but always "no."  So this card is for all those kids who have absolutely NOTHING to do during the summer.  =)

The Details Just Lying Around

Image is from a Smeared Ink digital set called Stitchy Situation.  Printed out onto Whisper White card stock and colored in with Blendabilities.  Little guy was fussy cut and adhered onto background.

Background is homemade gelli plate creation.
Journaling pen used to write in "SO BORED"  and some doodling, a sad try at some Zentangle.  Words were colored in with pink Blendabilty.

Bottom words "save me" are made with journaling pen and old scrap of paper from another project.

Bottom paper is from Sizzix Little Sizzles Classic paper pack.
Card base is Chocolate Chip card stock.

Snoozin' on the Deets

Image from the Smeared Ink digital set Eyes In The Dark, was printed out 8 times.

This was Technique #7 - Fussy Cut Layering found in the Smeared and Smudged Forum in the new Mixed Media Group.

Each image was colored in with inks and Blender Pen.

Then each image was fussy cut and with each layer, a section of the image was cut off, this achieves the great dimension and layering.

I used dimensionals to adhere each layer.

Versa Marker Pen around cut layer edges.  Gold Embossing Powder over marked areas and a heat gun to set.

Once all put together, Crystal Effects was used over entire owl and set aside to dry.

I used the 1/2" Watercolor Wonder Designer Washi Tape from Stampin' Up! (2014 Occasions Catalog) to cover wooden clothes pin and the entire back of owl once it was dried.

Sticky Strip to adhere owl to cloths pin.

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

Smeared Ink Weekly Design Team Project

Between holiday parties for my three kiddos, two of them had birthday's this week as well.  But, I was able to squeeze my project in and help take my mind off real life for a bit of time each day.  We pretty much have presents all ready to go and are awaiting a few which I hope will be delivered next week. I hope that you are having a great week and remember to take a break and get crafty!

Being part of the Smeared Ink Design Team has been such a privilege and just love creating with such fun and creative stamps.  If you would like to see more, please check out the Smeared and Smudged Forum.  On the Forum you can see more wonderful samples of Smeared Ink digi images and rubber stamps done by other Design Team members and members.  This is a free forum and I hope you stop by.

For my Weekly Design Team project, which uses only Smeared Ink digi or rubber stamps, is a tag card.  Yes, I just made this up.  It is like a tag, but given as a card...make any sense?  It's okay if you don't, not completely sure I buy this either,  =).

This digi stamp is a new one from the Smeared Ink shop called Twice As Evil Snowman.  I was inspired by the 6 year olds that came over and were fighting over toys and whatnot every other minute!

 

Sharing the Details

Snowman digi stamp, Twice As Evil Snowman, is printed out on Neena paper.  Copic's to color in.
Crystal Effects on faces and hats.
Coarse Texture Gel on body.  Hard to see but gives a rough crystal like texture (Picture 3).

31 DOH - Day 12 and Haunted Design House Challenge #177

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

Day #12 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. 

I will be entering this Day of the Dead mask to the Haunted Design House challenge.  Their  Challenge #177 is Dimensional Hallowe'en.  

"You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Hallowe'en 

based art piece that is dimensional in some way.  

Now foam pop dots are fine, but we are really hoping
to see you guys come up with some real dimension."

Pink is such a dark color...right?  Haahaa...Anyway it's got dimension and had to join the challenge before it ends. 

We had a small get together last night and I ended up making tamales for it.  Which inspired me, that and Sandy's (Shadows in the Moonlight)  wonderful projects, to create this Day of The Dead mask using one of Smeared Ink digital stamps from the set Calaveras.  This one is called Sugar Skull #2.

In between running to the store, cooking, and blog hopping, I rushed to get this mask finished by 4:30.  Love the hubby for all the cleaning he did and kiddos for staying out of the way!  I also apologize for the crappy second picture.  Did not realize it was so bad!

I used a skull purchased at local grocery store for $3 for the face under the mask.  Lots of impatient heat gun drying and so much more in love w/ my Aqua Painter (SU!).  Love having an idea and having it work out, even when rushed, right Monique?!  More deets below w/ more pics.  Have a Fab Saturday and get a hoppin'!

Details, Details...

Please click on pic to enlarge.

Printed out sugar skull image twice in red onto Very Vanilla card stock.

Color in both images with markers and Aqua Painter, so that one is my base and the other for parts.

Placed strips of quick set material, I got from kids art teacher, on Susannah - my skull (for you Steven King fans, the lovely lady made whole).  

Impatiently waited for it to set.  And yes, had to to use 2 heat guns to hurry up process!

Once set (not quite dry, heehehe), added White Gesso to mask and back of first image, which was fussy cut, and adhered image to mask.

Repeat w/ the heat guns.

Made flower bunch with premade flowers from stash and a gold brad, 6 total.

Added Gooseberry Pink DecoArt Americana paint to sides to help cover white of mask and blend edges of fussy cut image.

Heat Guns!

Re-do on colors with inks and Aqua Painter.  Added Cherry Cobbler Details onto face and center of flowers.

Adhered parts from second colored image, eyes and nose to mask.  Re-colored w/ markers and Aqua Painter.

Adhered flowers, spiders (from stash they were rings), and added Crystal Effects to eyes and teeth.

Heat Guns save the day!

Last, added netting (from stash) and top spider.

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

Susannah says "Think Pink this Month Ladies".  Thanks for hanging in there and see you for Day 12.

 

Smeared Ink's Smudgefest Day 6 & Forum Challenge

On the lap top, but do not have much time.  Have a group of hungry movers that I need to go feed.  But on to more important things (heheheeee...).

It is a Sketchy day and I have somehow managed to merge two sketched into one project!  And I woke up this morning with no idea on what to do.

This first sketch is the sketch challenge for Smudgy Antics blog.

Smudgefest Day 6 - Sketchy Saturday - "It does not have to be exact, but we must be able to tell that you got your idea from the sketch."

I used Washi tape for the diagonal stripes.  Dr. Doctor is the digi image from Creepster in the Smeared Ink shop.

This second sketch is from the Smeared and Smudged Forum for the August Sketchy Challenge.  This month we were able to use this sketch on anything (usually its a card or scrapbook page).

Patient Information:

I had this lovely metal flower holder (?) that I thought needed a make over.

For the drips I used Burnt Umber Acrylic paint.  My hang-ies are some needles on thread.  Barb Wire is replaced with measuring tape.
The stamp "yippee - skippee!" is from Stampin' Up! and stamped in Black Staze On.


Doc is printed onto Whisper White card stock.  I used a silver marker to out line him.  An Aqua Painter and inks Cherry Cobbler and Cajun Craze to color in the background.  His hands are slightly fussy cut to help show how long and sharp they are.

Scissors are from a sewing kit and have red Sharpie marker on ends.

Thanks for looking and can not believe I am getting these done!!
Hope to see you Sunday.
The Doc has left the building.
