ATC's and ATC Holder

 Back of Holder

 Center ATC Close Up

Down Under the Deets

ATC's

The ATC's are each printed out onto Whisper White card stock.
Each has a bit of fussy cut or torn edges. 
Each was colored in with color pencils, markers, inks, Blender Pen and Aqua Painter.

Base of each ATC is different colors of blue card stock.
On the upper right and lower left ATC's there is an extra layer of backgrounds that were made with acrylic paints and home made gelli plate.

Smeared Ink Rubber Club stamps used were from sets:
Dedicated to Art (Dec 2013)
Danse Macabre (Jan 2014)
Nymphs (Feb 2014)
Each of these sets can be viewed in the Rubber Club Past Offerings area.

Close up of Center ATC shows the Ranger Distress Crackle Paint, Clear Rock Candy, which is
covering each ATC.
A circle template was also used for this center background with sponge and ink.

Top right and lower left ATC's have punched chain card stock.  Punch is by EK.

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

Today starts a new two week challenge at Smudgy Antics.

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...

Quotes are:
"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

31 DOH - Day 30 WARNING - Gory Images

You are now here at Shoni aka Crafty Inknik's and should have just left Roni's blog.  Jenn is next on the wonderfully talented Wicked Blogger list, that is on your left if you just joined us. 
Thanks Smeared Ink and the Smeared and Smudged Forum for hosting this 31 Days of Halloween event.  And another HUGE THANKS to all the Sponsors who have been so generous all month long.

We made it to Day 30!  Everyone who has been here for the full month, and those of you who are intermittent, thank you so much for viewing and commenting.  To start from the beginning, see daily winners, and for more info check out Terra's Blog.

I had this wonderfully uber, ucky, idea a few weeks ago.  It was cemented this past weekend when I sat down and caught up on American Horror Story Coven and saw (heheheee) the episode called "Boy Parts".  Basically, the two witches are in the morgue cutting and sewing the best parts of multiple boys together for the perfect boyfriend. 

I had this Workbench tutorial...somewhere.  Tore into every box and checked every binder.  This project almost did not happen, but found it!  Lucky for you, the Workbench of Death was created.  I kept the images without color because I thought all the red on the workbench spoke for itself.  Extreme, yes.  Gory, yes.  The perfect boyfriend soon to be completed, yes.  What can I say, I grew up on 80's horror movies!

Hack Sawed Deets
Bench
I used a digi paper from Smeared Ink called Slasher Digital Paper Pack.  I printed it out onto Smoky Slate card stock (cs), two times. 
All pieces to make the workbench base and drawer are from this printed cs.

Cork board piece that is holding the tools has been embossed with Dots Embossing Folder.  Then inked with Crumb Cake ink.
Silver Mini Brads are the faux nails to hold up tools.

Drawer
Front is Basic Black cs embossed with a cross hatch embossing folder from Cuttlebug. 
Silver Encore ink on to make to look like metal.
1/2" Circle punch for handle.
Silver Glitter Brad for handle center.

In drawer I place sewing needles, rolled strips of dry sheets, inked strips of dryer sheets, and Linen Thread.

Silver Encore ink is on all edges, sides and tops of bench.

Tools
I hand drew each blade, on the printed Smoky Slate cs and cut out.  Marker was used to add more blood to blade edges.
Hand drawn handles on Basic Black cs.  Cut out and adhered to finished blade.

Images are from Smeared Ink set called Gross Anatomy. 
They are printed out and fussy cut.
I did have to cut arm off and re-place to fall right.
All materials used are Stampin' Up! and are current unless otherwise noted.

Yesterday was our Anniversary and had to use a Rick St. Dennis image called Zombie Newly Deads. 

Here is the link to his new Zibbet shop where I got the image.

As you know, this page looks sooo much better in real life.  

Flash took a lot of the dimension and shading out of it.

I will be entering this on Haunted Design House Macabre Monday challenge.  

Challenge #178 - Zombies and Creeps

"You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Hallowe'en

based art piece that showcases Zombies or Classic Creeps  in some way."

Thee Loving Details

 Printed Zombie Newly Deads onto Whisper White card stock.

Colored with markers and Blender Pen. 

Used Versa Mark ink over entire image, added Clear Embossing Powder and heat set.

Fussy cut.

Hearse and saying are from Smeared Ink.  They are both in a set called Death Cab Digi Set.

I printed each out on copy paper.

Added some color and used Silver marker on cab.

Edges were torn and ink added.

Stamps on cab piece are from set called Glorious Grunge, Stampin' Up! (SU!).

Background is a Basic Black 8 1/2" x 11" card stock.

3 pieces of DP are retired SU!.  I added inks on each piece.

On the left side there are heat embossed vines.  Stamp is from a SU! set called Eleanor.

I used Versa Mark ink and Wild Wasabi Embossing Powder.

Flowers are from stash.

Washi tape from SU!

Saying at the bottom was written in black sharpie.

I printed out a wedding pic of us on copy paper.  Cut and tore around us.  Added Crystal Effects to help hold down edges and to help blend into background.

Had a lot of fun making this and just laughed at some of those old pics.

Ahhh...memories.

 

Fluffy

Smudgy Antics has a new challenge going on where you can not use color pencils OR markers, yet still be colorful.  Markers is a hard one since I use those the most.  I can not wait to see what everyone has or will come up with.  These are some extremely talented people and it is so worth to check it out.

Re-train the brain to think "no markers" and I remembered a fun technique that uses table salt.
This techniques calls for somewhat detailed image with lots of open space.  Those Lil' Grumpies from Smeared Ink were screaming to be used, at least one of them was.
Fluffy made the most noise.  I wanted color and for Fluffy to be a star in this 12" x 12" scrapbook page.

I printed out Fluffy in a 5" x 7" image on Whisper White card stock from Stampin' Up! (SU!).
I then used Tombow glue in all the large open areas.  Pour table salt onto all areas with glue.  Let dry.  Be sure to let dry because if you add the ink too soon salt will melt and may fall off.
Tap off excess salt to ready for coloring.

I used re-inkers (So Saffron, Cajun Craze, and Basic Black from Stampin' Up!) and the Aqua Painter to color in salt.

  I went around open areas again with Tombow, added salt, and let dry.  Once dry I went in with darker colors to help define Fluffy.

I did the eyes last (top left photo) because I wanted to keep them as white as possible.

The second photo on the left is when Fluffy is finished and you can see the salt crystals better.  Also, when the image finished drying the ink bled into a cool rainbow around Fluffy.  This is what gave me the "star" idea.

I spritzed finished image with Gold Smooch Spritz.
Adhere Fluffy to center of a sponged star that I cut out of Designer Paper from a set called Fan Fair (SU!).

All Designer Paper is from the package Fan Fair that is the base for the 12" x 12" page.

Sponged around edges of page with Gold Encore ink and Cajun Craze ink (SU!).

Spritzed once more with Vanilla Shimmer Smooch and added Rhinestone Jewels (SU!).

Name was from a stamp set called Lovely Letters (SU!) that I colored with watercolor crayons.  I then stamped onto watercolor paper.  Paper was scruched and sponged around edges with Early Espresso ink (SU!).
