Last Day of Smeared and Smudged's Bloody Valentine's Blog Hop

2/13/2015

Well, last day of the hop!! Loads of fabulous projects...ideas for some payback Valentine's Day gifts..hehehe! No, of course not! Today I am using another Smeared Ink image The Queen of Hearts and I cut Alice (ahhh:( out of the mirror/door way! I colored again with my Chameleon's and remember still learning on them but loving them! There are some colors on this card that are not Chameleon's; they are distress markers. I layered the image on a Valentine's print cardstock and then on solid black inking edges in black. I used the little hearts in the corners and filled and doodled in with a black distress marker and the sentiment which I edited a bit is from the same pack as the heart a dollar bin special at Michael's. Hope you have enjoyed the hop and have left lots of love for all the bloggers! Thanks for the kind comments!
Happy crafting and Happy Bloody/Regular Valentine's Day!!:)

Day 2 of Smeared and Smudged's Bloody Valentine Blog Hop

2/11/2015

Leigh, I promise I am not copying your project...well I am but not planned!:) I had this little room freshener thingy that originally came with these little square papers infused with fragrance that when pushed down on the little box it would light up and the aroma would be released. Long story...sorry..and anyway I had the bright idea to stamp my own paper square for the hop. I saw Leigh's fab one yesterday and thought I would not do mine for the hop but as usual I am running late and very tired so....alas I must use it now. The key point is mine is nowhere near as fabulous as Leigh's!! Also, this is not colored not because I am tired...honest! but because I stamped it in red distress ink and really like the look when it is lit in the dark! The stamps are from Smeared Ink's Gargoyle set from last month (I think) and stamped on parchment paper. Due to bad photography..surprise!! I am only showing 2 sides but I stamped all 4 sides. Thanks for the comments today...lovely, lovely!
Happy crafting and go leave Jane some more love!

Day One of The Bloody Valentine Blog Hop with Smeared and Smudged

2/10/2015

Here is my "tongue in cheek" card for the hop! Not any blood or skin but a whole lot of bones giving some love. I used a wonderful image from Smeared Ink and my new 10 Chameleon pens! I am still learning with them but the possibilities are endless it seems with them! Loving them so far and hope to get better with them. The sentiment was made in Word document and layered on some dark Halloween paper and the image is on white cardstock inked in black layered on red cardstock edged in black. Off you go to visit Jane and make sure you leave lots of love...it's Valentine's at Smeared and Smudged!!

Happy crafting!

Quoth the Raven Challenge #41 Design Team Project For the Love of Poe

2/5/2015

1 Comment

Welcome fellow Poe followers! This month at Quoth the Raven Challenge blog our theme is "For the Love of Poe ( something Valentines or one of his lady loves). In reading about the Master's life, I have discovered he loved deeply but with much tragedy in his love. From his mother's death to his beloved wife Virginia's death, both due to tuberculosis, he wrote from both great love and great despair. The above quote is from his poem titled "To _____ ________ _______" as the title suggests their were many prior to and after Virginia's death in his life.
I have used once again one of Ike's Art's fabulous images "Elenore" colored with Promarkers and Distress Markers then fussy cut and popped on some foam dots to stick out from the Cricut frame. Another Poe fact is that he lived most of his life in poverty, I am an avid re-user of things most folks throw away.....so Poe and I may share a hoarding of useful stuff in common. Don't quote me on that...just saying maybe:) I used a black styrofoam meat tray as my frame for the scene. I used a strip of acetate to pop the frame up from the back and my Cricut went to work! I cut out the grave scene, the 2 tombstones, and the candle out of brown, tan, green, and red papers and layering. I used Photoshop to edit the text onto a piece of black and white paper with light script running across it. I inked everything, everything with black ink. I inked both sides of the sentiment and curled the ends. The grave scene and tombstones were attached to a strip of acetate and glued to the front edge of the meat tray. Then all I had to do was adhere the candle to the sides and the text to the top of the frame.
Come on over to Quoth the Raven and tell your friends...see who can gain the Master's nod of approval! We look forward to seeing all of your fabulous work!
Happy Crafting and Happy Valentine's Day!

Ike's World Challenge Entry Challenge #30 Sketch

2/1/2015

10 Comments

Back again with a fabulous image from Ike's Art and it is a freebie for this challenge which is a sketch challenge. For the circles for the sketch I used mice/rats. I layered them on foam dots at the corner of the page. They are inked with a hint of the color of the mouse on the phone in the image. I copied the image 4 times and colored all 4 images the same...I ran out of my favorite gray Bic Mark It so my mouse is sorta multi-hued:) Then I trimmed it down 3 times layering each smaller size on top of the original image with foam tape. I absolutely love how this turned out! Not boasting but this is just a fun way to use an image! I adhered the first image on some green card stock and that onto some card stock with antique typewriter keys on it after gluing two rows of tan music paper around the bottom piece. The sentiment was stamped onto plain white card stock and layered onto the typewriter key paper. And everything was inked with black ink. Try this technique on an image today! You will be hooked...promise! And run do not walk! to Ike's World Challenges and grab this freebie and enter so you can have a wonderful badge and some of Ike's Art images!
Happy Crafting!
