SI Weekly DT, Junk Funk Aug, & HDH

Got at least one project done today.  Where in the heck did the summer go?  Well I guess that just means that Halloween is just around the corner, heheeeee...

I have for you today my Smeared Ink Weekly Design Team Project.  I have used a Smeared Ink image called Smokey.  Smokey was a FREE image that I received from a past challenge over at the Smeared and Smudged Forum.  Sorry, he is not available for sale.

I was inspired to create this for some other challenges.  The first is the August Junk Funk, on the Smeared and Smudged Forum, which you have to use toothpicks in some way on your project.  The next is a challenge for Haunted Design House Macrabe Monday.  You have until Sunday to get your Ferocious Furballs in.  You MUST see what the Design Team has created, wow!

This bad ass bunny is either going to be a box top or a hang of some sort.

Puffin' On the Deets

Smokey and saying were printed onto copy paper.
Saying is from Smeared Ink digital set called Love Lil' Grumpies.

Image was inked with black fine tip Sharpie, shaded in and cig-ie end colored with  Blendabilities. He is fussy cut and adhered to background.

Background is stamped with Smeared Ink stamps from a Rubber Club Past Offering set called Chick's Dig Guns (Nov 2013).  Silver Encore ink was used.

Random words in saying were cut out and adhered to give a bit more texture.
Background layer is outlined with Blendability.

Black layer is Black Gesso applied to cut cereal box.

Base or bottom layer is also cut cereal box.  It was punched with paper piercer in the upper left and lower right corners.
Toothpicks were broken in half and inserted into punched holes.
Entire base was spray painted with Krylon Looking Glass Paint, to give a metallic look.
All materials used are current Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

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.

That's MY Basket

Easter is just 2 weeks away and I have been wanting to do a project with a basket.  Went through many thoughts on what basket and found an old pattern from my stash that I decided to use.

I have 3 boys all under the age of 10.  We attend eggs hunts every year and I find it hilarous how crazy those get.  Now, if my boys had THIS bunny on their basket, I do not think anyone would try to steal their eggs.

I wanted to use the fun pastel colors that go with this time of year.  The basket is made out of 1 sheet of 12" x 12" Designer Paper, by Stampin' Up! from a pack called Fan Fair.  I spritzed DP with Pink Pirouette Smooch Spritz and a combo of  alcohol and Cherry Cobbler re-inker (SU!).  When folding you can stamp before opening up the basket, this is where I used a wheel on each side.

The bunny is a digi from Rick St. Dennis called Creepster Bunny.  I just love that image of the sweet bow.  Bunny is colored in with Stampin' Up! inks and blender pen.  I put Crystal Effects on teeth, rips, bones and highlights on bow.  Finished him off by spritzing with Smooch Vanilla Shimmer.

Everything else is from Stampin' Up!, ribbon, punches, brads, card stocks, inks, and embossing powders.

Stamps are Stampin' Up: Every Bunny, Sent With Love, Every Egg wheel. 

I used Brach's Black Jelly Bird Eggs and yogurt raisins for the candy in the basket.

I am going to enter this basket in the Smudgy Antics challenge this round, Anything But A Card.  There are some great entries so check them out and play along.
