Llorona in rubber

It's not a naughty as it may sound.

It's actually a new release in rubber

over at the Smeared Ink Rubber Club.

With the onslaught of digital images (which I also love, now),

it's nice to get inky with some new, exclusive designs in rubber.

The new set is called, "Llorona", and is 

only available through the rubber club. 

It is an exclusive to the club release, 

and will never be released as digital images. 

Got it? If you like these images, please sign up for the

Smeared Ink Rubber Club. You won't be disappointed.

I am quite pleased with  myself here. While this is a big departure from

my usual color scheme, and overall feel, it is still beautifully haunting and vintage.

I did hit all the edges with frayed burlap distress inks for a uniform color and 

aged effect.

I am getting so much use out of my new Bow-Easy.

I find myself adding bows to everything now. Well, almost everything.

My hand tied bows used to suck out loud, but now they turn out 

perfect, every time. Best $5 I ever spent. Just sayin'. 

I used papers from the "Lost & Found Two" pad from MME.

It is so much easier to use the papers from the same set, as opposed to 

trying to coordinate scraps, and misc. papers from my stash.

I'm learning. Slowly. But, I'm learning. 

I've got a couple more samples for this release coming soon. 

Be sure to stop back by to check 'em out.

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 

Smeared Ink Rubber Club. 

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):

Altered Eclectics - Anything Goes

Redd's Creative Spirit - Anything Altered Goes

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

rubber club at Smeared Ink. 

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:

A Step in the Dark - Anything Goes/ Add purple

Crafting for All Seasons - Things with Wings

Left of Center - Anything Goes/Girly
