Risque - Smeard and Smudged Forum

I am a ribbon hoarder.  I admit it.  I love ribbon but hate using it.  Now how does that work??

On this card, I pried open my fingers and got to using those scissors on "my precious" ribbon.  Yes I was feeling a bit risque...about ribbon!

 

THE SAUCY DEETS

Background

A stencil by Donna Downey Studios, Demask, was place on a 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" Very Vanilla piece of card stock.  

I spritzed Pink Pirouette Smooch Spritz over stencil for the floral design.

The chain looking images are a stamp from the set Summer Silhouettes, Stampin' Up! (SU!), and stamped in Gray Slate.

Masks are Smeared Ink Rubber Club stamps from the rubber set called Femdom.  They are stamped in Strawberry Slush and Basic Black inks.

On the right and left sides, I used a large background stamp called Netting (SU!).  This was stamped in Basic Black.

Mistress Thang

Mistress Thang is also from the set Femdom and is stamped in Black Staze On ink.

I used Baked Brown Sugar Marker for her skin.  

Her pink leather coloring is from a Melon Mambo Marker, also hair and makeup.

She does have Crystal Effects over entire image.

The Little Extras

Pearls (SU!) in upper right corner were colored with Black Sharpie.

Ribbon for bows is Basic Black Taffeta Ribbon (retired SU!).

Ribbon frame is Red Riding Hood Pleated Satin Ribbon (retired SU!).

Card base is 5 /12" x 11", Basic Black card stock.  Embossed with Square Lattice Embossing Folder (SU!).

Dimensionals were used to raise up main Very Vanilla card stock and saying.

Saying from rubber stamp set Femdom.  Stamped in Basic Black and cut out.

Hello Darko - Smeared and Smudged Ink

This card was created for inspiration for the challenge over at the Smeared and Smudged Forum, hosted by me this month.  Any bunny that is fabulously creepy is all the more better for me.  This digital stamp, Darko, is from Smeared Ink and I knew that I wanted to make something with him for the challenge.

Thank you again Smeared Ink for giving me this opportunity and I hope that these next two projects keep you all motivated to get creative.

 

DE-TAILS

What better way to do a Mask Challenge by using the technique of Masking.

I printed Darko out so that he fit 4 times on one sheet of copy paper.  I cut out two of him for masking purposes and saved one for a "just in case".

I colored with a Blender Pen and Stampin' Up! (SU!) inks for all images.

The two cats, tree, and head background are all Daniel Torrente from Stampotique Originals.  

Cat in hands - Puss Puss, stamped with Black Staze On

Cat on ground - Kitty, stamped with Black Staze On

Tree - Tree, stamped with Black Staze On

Background - Heads, stamped with Soft Sky ink (SU!)

Hello - random "Happy Halloween" rubber stamp, stamped with Black Staze On

Crystal Effects on main image mask, saying, and on leaves.

Sponges around all edges and card is mounted on Basic Black card stock (SU!).

I tried to make the skull in the "O" look like a bunny skull and used a fine tip Black Sharpie.

Guest Designer Smeared and Smudged Forum - Bloody Face

This is the first project I made for my Guest Design Challenge - Masks over at the Smeared and Smudged Forum.  Get your game on and join us!  I am going to start with how I made the mask.

 

I used a technique called Faux Leather.  I wanted to make the mask look as skin like and leathery as possible.

Start with small pieces of masking tape.  I made the shape of a head, left areas for eyes and mouth open.

I used Whisper White card stock as my base.

I did add some extra layers on the nose for a little dimension.

When finished with my masking tape base, I applied inks with a sponge and then with my fingers. 





Next was to add the shine.  I Versa Marked the entire face.

Clear Embossing Powder was applied to the mask.  Heat gun to melt the powder and give the mask a nice texture.


Once embossed, I cut out the mask.  Cut out the eyes, mouth, and made small holes where the nose would be.


I used a new Stampin' Up! product called Simply White Pressed Clay for the teeth.  I molded with my hands and placed on edge of cut area of mouth. 

Clay took a day to dry.  Once dry I used inks to color in teeth.

I really liked how the Crystal Effects, ink, and tissue paper look like bloody skin, so I used it again around the teeth and eyes.






Once the Crystal Effects was dried, I cut a slit at the top of mask and used Linen Thread and a needle to sew cut slit.

Then added red ink to thread and holes.


 I stamped eyes with a stamp from Lost Coast Designs.  Stamp is from a set called Keys Set 1200.  Ink used was Black Staze On.

I printed images from Google that had to do with the history of Bloody Face.  Cut and used masking tape to adhere to 12" x 12" Crumb Cake card stock.

For the name, I mixed Rookwood Red and True Red Acrylic Inks and wrote the name with my finger.

Spritzed Silver Foil Smooch Spritz over entire page.

When page was dry, I adhered mask with Sticky Strip.

Guest Designer Challenge

I am so grateful to the wonderful group over at the Smeared Ink Forum for inviting me to Guest Design a June Challenge.  This is a free forum full of challenges, contests, and many creative designers.  Please check out the site and I hope to see you as a fellow member.

I have decided to use the theme of "Masks" for my June Challenge.  This is any kind of creative project/s that have anything to do with masks.  I will show 2 projects today and 2 more projects on the 15th to keep your creative minds going.  I have also decided to challenge myself this month by having a mask somewhere on all my projects that I will submit to the Smeared Ink Forum this month.

I can not wait for this month to get started.  Thank You again Smeared Ink for the invite.   I hope to bring you some great projects this month.  So here we go....


 I have two projects to get you inspired today.  The first is a 12" x 12" scrapbook page that was inspired by the TV show on FX called American Horror Story Asylum.  This was Season 2, and one of the main plots was a ghost story about Bloody Face who haunted the run down local asylum.  Bloody Face wears a mask of human skin when he kills his victims.  Creeeeeepy.....

  

My second project is a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card that uses a rubber stamp.  You never know when a gas mask stamp may be needed!

 

Check back in because I will post the details for each project tomorrow.

Get over to the Smeared and Smudged Forum and join this awesome community.
