Sunday with brass reindeer...

Hi,

I hope you all had a great Christmas or holidays wherever or whatever you are celebrating :)

I´ve made my last Christmas card for this season and I´ve used the cute "Brass The Steampunk Reindeer" image from Smeared Ink that I colored with copics and gel pens. The background is made with a steampunk gear stencil and distress ink pad vintage photo. Added some christmas stickers and a net.

There is still time to enter our monthly challenge - Anything goes Smeared Ink

Thank you!

Today's Inspiration

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas, we have had a good one here, rather quiet which has been lovely! Today I've got a tea light cover to share with you. I've used one of the rubber stamps from the Keepers rubber set.

For her details hop over to my blog and I will tell you all about it. 

Day 26 Inspiration for Smudgy Antics

Here is some inspiration for today, have been playing with a new image! =) 

I needed something new for my frame and wanted to use one of the new digis from Alexandria Serrano at Smeared Ink called X-Ray Monocle Raven! 

The image is colored with promarkers and I added a little glitterpen too, but it's hard too see in the photo, I added a background paper also from Smeared Ink, from a paper pack called Caught In My Web! Then as the card base I used a dark brown cs.

Hope you will like my creation and that it will inspire you to join our Anything Goes challenge, just remember that you have to use Smeared Ink images to join in! =)

Monday's inspiration

Well here we are... Christmas/ Creepmas is nearly upon us.

You have ONE MORE WEEK to enter this months challenge.

The kids have finished school and are driving me crazy with carols and hymns,

mind you thats been happening since Novemeber.

I am putting the final touches to my Creepmas decked dining room.

Here we have NOEL.... Creepmas style.

 Our pound stops have been stuffed to the seams with tacky Christmas stuff.... this Noel plaque was one such thing. I removed the cutesy glittered finish and made it dark and macabre. 

 I added dried berries and leaves that the girls and I have collected on our walks to school...

a bit of plastic greenery just for colour...

various plastic insects are crawling around... having fun.

The dimensional skull is a digi image from SMEARED INK... its 9x layers, fussy cut and decoupaged up using silicone, there is a tutorial for this technique on the forum.

Once solid the skull was dipped in my melting pot.

I added a santa hat..with fly and stuck it to the 'O' of ''Noel''

Thanks for stopping by..... there'll be another project from another designer tomorrow.

sparkly inspiration

Hey all here is my inspiration for the week. I have let my inner sparkle fairy have her way and this is what I have for you. Well lets be honest I sparkle everything.  So I guess she's not totally my inner fairy but what the hay. I used Smeared Ink digi and rubber stsmps on this card. Enjoy!

Inner Demon Inspiration...

Hi,

Some inspiration from me  this Saturday and I hope that those of you that are watching this is doing fine and got the creepmas black feel going this season :)

Made an mixed media kind of page...don´t know what to call this? Maybe someone else knows!? There are so many different names on these things...

I´ve used a new digi stamp from Smeared Ink made by very talented Alexandria Serrano "Inner Demon". colored it with copics. The black hands behind the image is a grumpy from the rubber club at Smeared Ink. The barbed wire is rubber from the rubber club as well called "urban decay" and the senti is from the rubber club too :D from the "as death" set. The background is a scrapbookpaper and I covered the page with mod podge.

I hope you like it..

Thanks!

Today's Smudgy Goodness

So how awesome are all the things this wicked DT are coming up with?!?

I've got today's inspiration in the form of a journal page. I've used one of the new images called release.

Don't forget there is still plenty of time to add your smeared ink makes to the current anything goes challenge. 

Imspiration for 18th December and the current "Anything goes" challenge!

Time for me to inspire again here at Smudgy Antics using Smeared Ink images! 

I used another Steampunk image and this time it's Steampunk Elf Christmas and he's colored with promarkers, added some glitter here and there but not sure it's showing on the pic! =) 
He's added to a dp with Christmas trees and that is glued onto dark brown cs for hte cardbase. 
I found my sheet of letters and Christmas sentiments so added the letters that says "God Jul" in swedish or Merry Christmas translated! =)

Don't forget that you have to use Smeared Ink images to enter the current "Anything Goes" challenge! =)

Wednesday's child is full of...

... poisonous gas and pirouettes. 

Creepy Glowbugg here with my Smeared Ink inspiration for the day.

I've kind of been on a corrugated cardboard kick lately, and I had a piece

already distressed and cut to the perfect ATC size lying around....

So I made an ornament or a hanging of sorts.

I used some old and new art pastes, coupled with good ol' Stickles and

dew drops. I like the contrast between textures on this piece.

I used the strange, yet delicate 'Ballerina' image from the 'Toxic Ballerinas' set.

She just adds more glittery texture and contrast to the entire piece.

  Such a fun image! 

Remember to enter our Anything Goes challenge here

with your creation using a Smeared Ink image.

Monday's Smudgy inspiration

At this time of year even grumpy ol' dragons

find themselves wanting to decorate their dwellings for the holiday season.

I was rather taken with a felt decoration a friend was making when she visited me a few weeks ago...
white felt snow men and red felt hearts.
I just knew I could make one but tailor it to my taste....
SO....here are my Poemen with black felt hearts.

 I've hung 'em around my lamp... but will be moving  'em later.
I cut the Poeman shapes and the hearts out of felt... sew them together with a little wadding in each.
I added a little metal skull with a bow to each of the hearts.

The Poemen all have little distresses cravats.
I stamped POE from SMEARED INK onto small circles of cotton using STAZON.....
I then sew Poe's face to the ready stuffed snowmen.
Another decoration done.... just a few more to go.

Don't forget to enter our ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE,

You'll see another project from another designer tomorrow.

Saturday inspiration with new image...

It is my turn to get your mojo going...

I´ve made a mixed media art journal kind of page. Started of with some torned scrap paper with winter feel and added with mod podge. Second layer is white gesso. Used a NEW powerful image "release" made by Alexandria Serrano and you can find this image along with a whole bunch of other fantastic images in the Smeared Ink Shop. I´ve used posca pens, copics and acrylic paint to doodle with. I´ve also used some glimmer mist, stencils and background stamps.

Thank you for watching my project!

Wednesday's dose of smudgy inspiration

Anything Goes (as long as you use a Smeared Ink image) challenge.

I have finally decided to make some Creepmas/Hexmas cards.

I am using the wicked cool Dark Holidaze Entryway from Smeared Ink.

This is the digital version, but a rubber one also exists in a set of Holidaze rubber.

Be sure to enter your Anything Goes (with Smeared Ink image) project here.

Tuesday's Shot of Inspiration

The project I have made for you features Quoth the Raven rubber stamp set.

Don't forget that you can now purchase individual Smeared Ink stamp sets OR join the exclusive Smeared Ink Rubber Club.  Either way you will not run out of wonderfully unique stamps and have more chances to win the monthly Smudgy Antics Anything Goes challenges, where a Smeared Ink stamp must be used somewhere in your project.

I have used both rubber and digital stamps for today's project.

Along with some bits and pieces that I need to use up.  Remember chipboard??  Well found a big bag and had to use.

All of the deets are on my blog. So click on my name on the side bar and enjoy.

Creepmas inspiration...

Hi,

I have a card to show of for inspiration this saturday. With Creepmas hop going on I thought it would be cool to show some creepy christmas stuff ;)

The very talented Teri Shermans images is now available in the Smeared Ink shop and I´ve used the digital image "creepmas centerpiece" for my card. Colored with copics. Added some glossy on mini skulls and candle. Branch punch from Martha Stewart and some black chalk on edges of all papers.

I hope you can join our Challenge this month "Anything Goes Smeared Ink"

The only requirement is that you use a 

SMEARED INK image....

REAL RUBBER or DIGI.

Thank you!

Your daily dose of Smeared Ink

Hello all! Today it's my turn to share my Smeared Ink make with you. I don't know about all of you but I am loving getting a daily dose of Smudgyness. Today I'm sharing my piece for 12 days of creepmas.

I have used the RSD rubber stamp called Skullcracker from the Dark Holidaze set, this image is now also available as a digital stamp too!

If you would like to see all the other details for this piece hop over to my blog :)

Smudgy Antics Dec 4th DT Inspiration

Time for me to inspire for the new challenge here at Smudgy Antics, now that we are up and running again! =)

So stop by here and read about the challenge, don't forget that you have to use Smeared Ink images to participate in the challenge and since the theme is "Anything Goes" it's easy peacy! =)

I used the Steampunk candycane and colored it with my promarkers, cut it out and layered a background using a brown cs, then bit's and pieces from Panduro's Christmas collection Deadly Sweet Christmas! =)

Your daily dose of Smudgy Antics is here!

So how are you liking the daily dose of inspiration for 

our new Anything Goes challenge? Pretty cool, right?
It's nice to keep the momentum going each week throughout
the entire month. The brilliant inspiration just never stops!

Even though I masquerade as Creepy Glowbugg, I do enjoy the

festivities of Creepmas. Especially the gift giving (and receiving).

Every year I am at a loss for gift tags. I don't know if maybe there

are gift tag eating rodents in the garage who dine exclusively on my

handmade tags and nothing else, but every year I have to make more tags. 

Way more tags than I have ever used in one holiday.

I'm not really  a fan of the adhesive ones, although I usually end up using
them anyway with my constant shortage of homemade tags.

This year I have used Brass, the Steampunk Reindeer for a set of tags.

He is just too stinkin' cute, and perfect for weirdos and norms, alike!

And then I had to make some homemade specimen jar tags.
Friends and family expect nothing less from me anymore.

I put this guy together using my favorite little bear from the 

Candy is Dandy rubber set, the empty specimen jar digi,  

and the jar label digi.

Stamped a simple, "to: and from:" on the backs,
added some baker's twine, and viola!
I'm ready to start wrapping some gifts!

Be sure to stop by everyday for another fabulous gift of
DT inspiration. And if you're feeling creative, add your
Anything Goes (using a Smeared Ink rubber or digi image)
make here.
