Smudgy Antics - Daemon Thursday Post

I have made a calendar page using a digital image from the set called Daemon Horses, a digital paper from the set Honor The Dead, and a rubber stamp from the set Urban Decay.


Please see daily inspiration over at the Smudgy Antics blog and if you happen to use any Smeared Ink images in your projects be sure to enter the month long Smudgy Antics Challenge - Anything Goes.

Smeared Ink is so lucky to have many wonderfully talented artists as part of the image team.  This image was done by Susan Eisenhauer, aka Ike.

Smudgy Antics - Dreams Post

I recently went to Phoenix for a get away with some friends and now find myself playing catch up once again.
This post is for a Smudgy Antics post that was done on March 11th.

The inspiration for this page was inspired by Edgar Allan Poe and a challenge that was based off one of his works.

Quoth the Raven, Nevermore has month long challenges.  I will be entering this into Quest #42 - Dream On.

I have used both digital paper and stamps on this page.  The main image is from the digital set called Death Cab.  The digital papers on the background are from Poe Boy and Vintage Grunge.  Stamps are a set from the Rubber Club Past Offerings, Quoth The Raven.

Quote is from Edgar Allan Poe
"You are not wrong who deem
That my days have been a dream..."

Smudgy Antics DT Post & ASID#16

Ahhh, the beginning of a new month.  So much to get caught up on, get done, and prep for! 

Today is my day over at Smudgy Antics for the Smeared Ink Design Team to get you an inspirational project.  As you may know, I am a huge American Horror Story Fanatic.  So I have another project that is has been inspired from the show and from the wonderfully drawn image by Rick St. Dennis for Smeared Ink called Pickled Punkz.  On my page I have also used the stamp set Carnies, but of course!

I am also going to enter this into the current Challenge #16, over at A Step In The Dark Or Not blog.

Playin' Catch Up! Smudgy Antics DT Project (Feb 7th)

 

Hello everyone!

I am playing catch up today. 

This project was posted on the Smudgy Antics challenge blog on February 7th.

Bobble It Up!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you can join the Smudgy Antics February Anything Goes Challenge this month.

 Be sure to check Smudgy Antics every day for some fabulous inspiration from the Smeared Ink Design Team members.

Today's project is featuring a stamp of a bat from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club set called A Little Bit Batty.

I have altered some little dollar store toys to make this bat head bobble head. 

Swingin' the Deets

Base was some leftover Easter toys that had a spring on them.

Skelli head, from stash, was glued onto spring.

Bat face was stamped 5 times and layered.

Colored in with markers and inks.

Sponged around edges.

Colored small pearl jewels with Sharpie for eyes.

Kickstart Your Art Day 3 and Smudgy Antics DT Project

These pages are so fun and so glad to be a part of Kickstart Your Art this year.  I am also up today for the Smudgy Antics Design Team project and have decided to combine today's post with KYA Day 3, since I have only used Smeared Ink stamps. 

The challenge for Day 3 is Collage.  Definition: a piece of art made by sticking various different materials such as photographs and pieces of paper or fabric onto a backing. A combination or collection of various things.
Log into Facebook and look for the Smeared and Smudge group and join in all the challenges and see some wonderful inspiration from members and the Design Team.

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY to get your Anything Goes projects in for January at Smudgy Antics!  

Click HERE to enter.

Yup, think I can do this and VERY happy with how my page turned out.  One of my favorite colors is blue and had these papers out, so all the scraps and what not from that project I was able to use on this.  Woohoo!

My lass is from a Smeared Ink digital stamp set called Broken and Bleeding.  When I colored her in she originally had black eye centers, eyebrows, and lips.  But once she was on the page...had to find my Smooch Pealizied Accents and change that to a deep blue.  Hard to see in the pic because of the flash.

Layerin' Up the Details

Page was from my new homemade art journal that had not yet been base painted.

All designer papers, die cuts, punched pieces, ribbons, wahsi tape, doilies, printed vellum, and embellies from stash.
The Jewel Rhinestones were colored over with a black Sharpie.
Skellie on flower is from a winnings I received from the wonderful Creepy Glowbugg.  I use her fab embellies sparingly, but this page was calling out for it!

Image from Broken and Bleeding was printed onto Very Vanilla card stock.  Colored in with Blendabilities and markers.  Fussy cut, then adhered to page.

Smudgy Antics DT Project and S&S AJ Jan Challenge

For today's Smudgy Antics DT inspiration I have used Smeared Ink stamps from the Rubber Club Past Offerings sets:

Quoth The Raven 

and

Morte

I will also be entering this art journal page into the Smeared and Smudged January Art Journal Challenge - Skulls.  You can find this challenge HERE. 

Dirt Covered Deets

Page was started with brush and Black Gesso.  Let dry.

Used skull stamp from Morte on left side and stamped with Versa Mark ink.  Crushed Curry Embossing Powder over stamped images and then heat set.

Raven, from Quoth The Raven set, was inked with Silver Encore ink and randomly stamped all over page.

Heart, also from Quoth The Raven set, was inked with Crushed Curry ink and randomly stamped all over page.

Then used a small brush with White Gesso to make eyes, nose, teeth, and light outline of skull.  Let dry.

Journaling pen to outline skull and features.  Then wrote a bit of "The Premature Burial" by Edgar Allan Poe.

"The unendurable oppression of the lungs - the stifling fumes from the damp earth - the clinging to the death garments - the rigid embrace of the narrow house - the blackness of the absolute Night - the silence like a sea that overwhelms the unseen but palable presence of the Conqueror Worm - these things, with the thoughts of the air and grass above..."

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 Fire and Ice Challenge - DT Project

The theme is Fire and Ice.

Lets see what you can come up with, we would love to have you join us.

Be sure to check out all the inspiration, because there are some awesomely amazing projects up.

I went off the path a little on my project for this challenge by focusing on the Ice part.  

Some heat was involved, meaning a heat gun. 

I just received the Gross Anatomy digi set and have been having waaaayyy to much fun with it.

Don't worry, you will see the Fire part of this challenge next week.

My project is a Freezer made from the new Wood Mount Cases by Stampin' Up!.  It also doubles as a Post It Note Holder.

This person is into daily affirmations that are hung/stuck to the door.  

But the true self is exposed when the door is opened...

"Sometimes I fee like a vampire."  Theodore Robert Bundy
"We can only learn so much and live." Thomas Harris, Hannibal
"If the blue meanies are going to get me they'd better get off their asses and do something."  The Zodiac Killer
"The tragedy is not to die, but to be wasted."  Thomas Harris, Hannibal

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!).

Front Image
Image is from one of the sets drawn by Rick St. Dennis for the Smeared Ink Rubber Club, called Haunted Places #2 - September 2013.  It is stamped in Black Staze On onto Whisper White cs.

Finished image was fussy cut and adhered to front.
