Your weekly issue of Smeared Ink

Since I have basically a shit-ton (real word, look it up) of birthday cards
to make this month, and the next, I decided to use some of the various
digital eye candy Smeared Ink has to offer.

I really like this image called, Specimen Jar Man. It's perfect for all manner 
of masculine themed projects. I love the whole Da Vinci vibe it gives off.
I colored this fella with Copics, as usual. I colored the orange butterfly
a bit too vividly, so I went over the entire thing with a warm gray (W2)
to dull it up a bit. It makes quite a difference, believe me.  

I stamped an insect diagram image directly onto the kraft card, but it
also came out wonky, so I spritzed it with water to make a subtle, less
offensive background. I used some MME and Basic Grey dp matted with
black card to make it all cohesive. 

Make sure to check out all of the varied and versatile images available at 
And, check out the exclusive designs available only through the rubber club
I recently joined up, and I don't regret it one bit!
