walking on air fussy cut

sorry this is so late...ugh it has been a hell of a week...there has been some good with the bad but all is well now.

anyways...I missed posting yesterday about my Smudgy Antics peice so here it is today...the challenge this fortnight is fussy cut...and here is my peice

 I combined it with the Rock N Rolla challenge this month which was a music video by Kerli - Walking on air...and it has her in a ballet outfit...well two...she wears a white one and a black one...and its just so cool...there are also blue butterflies flying around in one scene. so I took my Smeared Ink dead dancers and colored them up (one white one black) (I tried to match her outfits in the video) then I fussy cut them out and then I got started on making my tags...I used embossing powders...clear on the white one and some multi colored cool ones I got from a friend's de-stash sale a while back but never used until now (thanks Terra) with the white one I went over it with some light greens and blue inks then I made some flowers out of book paper, petals and my butterflies, made the butterflies blue and added glitter to the flowers....I added a ribbon to them and wanted them to be tied together so this is how it ended up....super fun to do!

ok thats enough talking...go check out what the other DT members have made for your eyeballs to see and then enter this super SUPER simple challenge for yourself!

have a great week.

Bee happy

wahoo its the July member blog for Smeared and Smudged!!! this month's theme is Power it up.

I saw that and I just had to join...oh so fun...and I had a great idea...wanna see?

isn't that just so cool? it turned out just how I had it in my head...don't ya just love it when that happens?
I took the bees from Smeared Ink's Queen digi set and printed them out then I transferred them onto a piece of wood that I painted yellow, then I took it out in the garage and drilled some holes into it (that was fun) and then I brought it back in, added some more yellow, added some texture paste through a small hole stencils, then went over that and the edges with gold...cut my letters out and painted them, then I glued them down and went around the edges with brown...added some more brown throughout the whole thing. oh and I took some paper napkins with big flowers on them and glued it down so it was transparent and awesome! ahhhh I love it! its all grungy and messy and ooohhh it was fun!

~edit: for the image transfer I printed my bees then put down a layer of modge podge then put my bee face down...let it dry, then took water and rubbed away the paper until just my image was left.

ok I think thats enough from me...now go check out the other awesome creations...small but mighty!

Spoon necklace

Monday again :( but like every other Monday before there is another Smudy Antics Challenge beginning YAY!!!

This fortnight the challenge is simply METAL, thats it...just use metal somewhere in your project and your good!

here is what I created

I made my whole project metal....I saw on pintrest somewhere someone was making metal spoon neclaces and I thought...I could do that...so I printed my gear heart wings image from Smeared Ink colored it a little and added some glitter to the wings and glued it in the spoon. I added a few drops of alcohol ink to color the spoon a bit, then I added a bunch of gears and watch parts to the bottom of the spoon and covered the whole thing in liquid glass...I love how it turned out.
then I decided this necklace needs a home...so I go an old necklace box and covered it with duct tape then I took some gold paint and a rag and went over the duct tape to kinda get the edges to color a little, then I stamped images from the Urban Decay stamp set from smeared ink in stayzon ink and ya there it is!

be sure to check out what the other DT members have done and enter this challenge for yourself!

Octipode halloween in July

today I have an art journal page to share with you.

there is a challenge over at the Octipode Factory and it is Halloween in July...with a challenge like that how could I not play along?!?

 

so I took my Morticia Addams image and colored her up, then I went crazy on a packground with paint and stamps from Smered Ink's Quoth the Raven set....I can't even explain what I did it was just messy fun....then I took some black Alcohol ink and splattered it on my page (mostly to see what it would do...and it was way cool!) then I stamped out my senti (with CTMH stamps) and glued everything down...added some teenie tiny bats and there I have it...

oh did you notice there is glitter on her dress...cool huh?

oh ya and I wanted to show everyone my super cute new necklace! Alison made it for me here is the link to her shop if you want to check out what else she has.

isn't it cute? I picked out the "eggs" for my lil nest for me (beige) my husband (dark blueish) and my lil one (light blue) and ya thats my little GIRL in batman pjs...she loves them and runs around the house like crazy...lol she's nuts!

and can I just say...this is very well made! and I'm not just saying that because me and Alison are friends...but really it is!

Chris Isaak go walking down there

today is the midway reminder for Chris Isaak's music video challenge over at the Musically Challenged blog, and I have had this created for the past week but I wanted to save it for today so I could remind everyone how fun this video is to create something for...here is my creation

I made a fat page and I used 4 of SSD's images (I just love them) I took my "Chris Isaak" (he is actually that guy from Twilight) and I put him kinda outside where all the girls are hanging out and being happy (the girls are Roller girl, lingerie Lindsay, and sassy in the city Miranda) I colored everything with pencils, and for the guy's background I stamped my Smeared Ink Quoth the Raven background stamp. The girl's background is from some pink floral tissue paper that was in a gift to my lil one and I just crumpled that up and glued it down then added some bling flowers and my quote from the song....this was a blast to make, and it came together so quickly...don't you just love when that happens?!?

into the wild

Monday again :( buuttt its not all bad...today is the first day of the new challenge at Smudgy Antics!
This time the challenge is "into the wild" fun huh? and so many ideas...we were all talking about what images we could use and the list seemed to be endless!
I finally decided on an image and here is what I came up with

 isn't it fun! I wanted to do a new card fold so I went to Splitcoaststampers and found a tutorial called "Bendi Fold" so I printed out my smeared Ink tattoo fairy with the zebra wings (I figured the fairy was wild and the wings were too...double points) I found this background image at the Fantasy backgrounds store I printed it out and then cut up my card painted the outer bits and stamped some mushrooms from the killer bo peep set and colored them up and stuck my fairy on one of them (after coloring her and glittering up her wings of course) distressed my edges and I'm done...so much fun to create!

now you must go over and see what wild things the Smeared Ink DT has created and then enter this challenge for yourself!
