That new rubber smell....


Today is the blog hop for 
Smeared Ink's new rubber stamp release!!
Let me tell you, these new stamp sets are pretty awesome!! 
They are available exclusively, as the June featured sets through the 
They will only be released in rubber.
(Click the link above to find out all the details of this exclusive
rubber club.)

My first project features the seahorses from The Abyss set.
I colored them with Copics, fussy cut them out, and adhered them to the
insides of the painted coffin box with gloss medium.

For the lid of the coffin box, I frosted it entirely with modeling paste, and
added some shells and shell fragments. Then it was painted with black gesso. 

After it dried, I added layers of acrylic color to highlight the textures 
of the modeling paste and the shells. Lastly, I added some
Inka Gold Metallic Rub in green/yellow to make it really shine
and pop. 

The entire box received the same treatment.

I'd like to enter this box in the following challenge(s):

Remember: If you like these images, they are only available through the

My next project features an awesome image from the other
featured set for June called, "Winged Things".

She is gorgeous! Love those lips!

I am really happy with how this card came together. 
I used some KaiserCraft 13th Hour paper for the background,
and there is even a drippy goo edge on the bottom of the image,
to mimic what is dripping off of her wings. But it looks as if it's
hiding from the camera right now. Hmmm....  

I used the Spellbinders Heraldry set, finally. I've had that thing for at least a year or longer.
The winged shield looks perfect backing the Winged Things sentiment. 

Just one more look...

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

New Release Hop for Smeared Ink

I have another new image release from 
to share with you today.

I have chosen to use "Loved Alone Octopus" for my card.
I thought he would be perfect on a Father's Day card. 
One down, three  more to go.

I was able to destash some TH gears and cogs that I had lying
around from another project. The colors matched, so why not?
I popped the gears up on foam dots for added dimension.

I colored this dapper fellow using Copics and tried to fussy cut 
him out with shaky hands. He looks a little rough in spots, but 
it is handmade, after all.

The image I used is from the "I Loved Alone" set of images
now available at Smeared Ink.


Feel free to hop around and see all of the awesomeness that has been
created using these new images. Plus, there is a giveaway involved as well.
Be sure to leave some blog love on each DT's Smeared Ink post, and maybe you
will win the entire set of images!

DT New Release Hop for Smeared Ink

Yes, that's right, I have joined the ranks of the uber talented DT for 
Smeared Ink.
It's quite an honor. I look forward to working with everyone at SI.

Today is a new release blog hop featuring a set of
 horse images, like you've never seen before!

I have used the new Daemon Horse 5  for my project.
I also generated the My Little Pony Nightmare in Gimp.

I printed this handsome fellow out on kraft cardstock, and
colored him with colored pencils. No, really, I used colored pencils.
I usually prefer a more vibrantly colored image, but I do like how
I was able to blend, and use the white pencil for the highlights.
I still prefer my Copics, but wanted to try something different this time.
I glittered his mane with the original MLPs in mind. Not sure it translates
that well, but it sure is sparkly! 

And what creepy card is complete without some MS Drippy Goo punch?
I layered two shades of red, and then covered it all with Glossy Accents.
First time I ever tried doing that. It has now been added to my crafty repertoire.   

Here is the New Release Hop list, as you simply must
hop along and check out the other wicked makes for this release.

Creepy Glowbugg - that's me!
