Smeared Ink end of term/new release hop

Today is the Smeared Ink End of Term/New Release Hop...and you should be coming here from the Lovely Black Dragon's blog... I have really been looking forward to this hop especially after I saw all the new images that are being released (pics at the bottom of this post) but the image I got was so perfect for me! I have so many plans...I can't wait to use it on a scrapbook page!!! eek

ok I'll show you what I have made today.....I'm so happy with it!

Its a notebook that I have been keeping all my pregnancy stuff in....like appointments and little bits about how I'm feeling...kinda like a journal just recording things that I think are interesting and that I think baby will like when he/she grows up....and things I'll probably forget...ugh I don't know where my mind is these days!!!!

I used guesso to cover the whole base of my book...I really like that some of the checker still shows threw...I think it gives it a little something more...then I got green, orange, and purple paints and squirted a dab on an old credit card and scraped it across the book to create the background, then I took some shimmery white and painted a spot for my new cute lil dragonfly family to set, then glued that in, then I took the Joy from the Symbology of Angels set and stamped that across the top, and put two little flowers in each corner from the Killer Bo Peep Build a Garden set. and colored them in with some sharpies....

I sure hope you like it and it inspired you a little

Today's Smeared Ink project I had so much fun making...I think it took me almost all week I just had a blast! I made it for the Oh The Horror challenge in the forum...the movie is my fave...The Crow...


I think I'm going to try to make a frame or something for it to hang in my craft room...I got the background paper idea from the Ink Stains blog I did take some pictures of how I did it that I will share with you later, but it is allot of papers and I think all of them are from Lisa's Scrapfactory Etsy store....The flowers I glimmer misted black glued a lil jewel in the middle.... I then used my symbology of angels stamp and gave him a bunch of black hair and makeup to match the crow...he is a little buff but it works...and the background stamps are from quoth the raven..oh and the little crows are from Holy City! thanks for taking a lookie look, see ya around the forum!

12th day of Smeared Ink Christmas / angel tin

Welcome to the final day of the 12 days of Christmas!
I wanted to make something super cool but I had like zero time... so this will have to do

I altered an Altoids tin to hold a key chain I made for a Christmas present.


I used an angel from Smeared Ink's symbology of Angels set, I stamped him on some clear plastic and glued some material on the tin then attached it with glue and brads, and on the inside I stamped a senti right on the material. the domino was only stamped nothing to fancy I wanted to keep it masculine but still cool....
the senti and watch stamp came from CTMH

so wadda ya think not to shabby huh?

well I hope you had as much fun as I did on this hop...there are some very talented ladys here! if you have missed anything be sure to check past posts on everyone they are so great! I know I got allot of inspiration...
I entered this tin into the One Stitch at a time challenge blog - anything goes
I would have loved to enter it into more...but I was to late...its already midnight...oh well maybe next time...

have a very Merry Christmas!!!

Sybology of Angels Neverending

On the Smeared and Smudged forum there is a section for Tutorials, and I found one called Kustom Kulture Neverending Card by Terra...and so I had to try it out and here is what I came up with

fold 1

Fold 2fold 3fold 4

I made my own paper with acrylic paint, and a glitter on one, the words from the symbology of angels stamp set on the other, the images were stamped and a little color was added, and their wings were painted with glittery nail polish, and tried to use all my angels from the symbology of angels stamp from smeared Ink, the one I didn't get to use I'll put in a card...hopefully for tomorrow...don't want anyone feeling left out;) in the first picture those angels were stamped on some clear plastic so the paper could be seen. and the last photo those boxes were left a little plain in case I wanted to write a message to whomever I gave this card to.

this card was so fun to make but even funner to play with....Hopefully I'll play enough that it will lay flat and I can update the pictures....as I'm typing this my husband is freaking out he thinks its so cool! and now he wont give it back:(

Here are the challenges I'm entering for this card

Day 3 Angel tag

hello all...welcome back...
this post is going to be short I'll try to write more tomorrow its like 2am and I have to go to thanksgiving tomorrow with my fam...ya its late I know...but enough of that...
here is a tag I made with the Smeared Ink's Symbology of Angels set, I embossed green paper, inked it in brown and sanded it, then sprayed it with glimmer mist...just the goldish one...and then let that dry, printed out a snipit of Hark the Harold angels sing...song and inked that all up and got it glimmer misted, I then stamped my image with stayzon ink onto some plastic I cut off of an old DVD case (ours are all in big 300 CD books...better storage and organization) any who... I stamped that and let it dry I then went and made a dolop of hot glue and stuck my Prase image into it (idea I saw on Terra's blog) I then painted it a bronze color....stuck everything together...added some eyelets and there I have a pretty snazy tag.....
be sure to check out the other blogs on this Jolly hop.....all the links are on my sidebar....see ya in a few.....Oh and I don't know if you know this but every day of the week someone on the design team will have something for you to see...Sunday is my day...just a lil FYI for ya....k see ya later...

Joy angel

here is a card I created for the Burtonesque Dolls sketch this week

I used my symbology of Angels stamp set from Smeared and Smudged, I colored his wings and added glitter, I cut him out some underpants and stamped the word joy in white paint and added some denim..I really didn't want a whole lot going on behind him because I wanted him to stand out...and I didn't add to much frill because I wanted a very manly card.....I love these stamps and I can't wait for next month...I have some really cool ideas for them!!

Angelic jewlry holder

this is a jewelry holder I made using a picture frame and some plastic mesh.I took the frame and plastic and painted it black them black and then ripped up a news paper and modgepodged it to the frame and added some sparkle, then I had my husband drill me some holes and added some cut up dowels, I then stapled the plastic to the frame and I thought I was set...until I received my Symbology of angels stamps and I knew they must be added, so I colored their underpants and shrinky dinked them then I threaded them onto some thin wire an added it to the top....I still may rearrange them but I like this for now....and it matches my black and white angel bathroom....
sorry the pics are so bad but I just couldn't get the right light...it has been storming really bad all day...I'll try to replace them later.... I'm entering this into the delicious doodles challenge where anything goes.
be sure to stop by the Smeared and Smudged forum we have a challenge going on there right now where you can actually win these handsome hunks!
also be sure to stop by tomorrow for a really sexy surprise;)

Slave light

for my smeared in day today I have an altered item for you!

this one is using one of Smeared Ink's stamps from the Symbology of Angels setI stamped "slave" all over, I added glow in the dark in to his wings....pics didn't show up...and I added the blood to his wrist with a lil bit of puffy paint...I'm going to keep a candle in this one...
