SMEARED & SMUDGED WITH SMEARED INK - 1st PIECE FOR 2014

Hello Peeps,
Here I am today with my 1st 2014 piece for the SMEARED INK Design Team. I have digi images that I draw exclusively for Smeared Ink too, so why not pop over to the Shop for a browse at the great images there  :-)  There is also The Rubber Club where you can get fabbo exclusive sheets of images :-D 

Now you know already that Smudgy Antics Blog has closed , so now everything is happening in the SMEARED & SMUDGED FORUM and we have many Challenges, Workshops, Tutorials and all sorts of fun stuff going on over there, so why not pop over and join us.
My piece is for the Anything Goes theme and I have used images from the 'Specimen Jar' set and also 'Skeleton Dancer' single image.


I made a grungy backing from some old cardboard and tore it to expose the inside corrugation. I stuck on some Masking Tape to give texture (as per SHELL's Tutorial - CLASS #11 - at the MIXED MEDIA UNIVERSITY, where I am one of her Teamies  :-D    I've never done this before but I love the effect I achieved with the cardboard and tape. :-)
I painted the whole thing then with Gesso. Then I distressed it with inks and added some glitter. The wings are from my 'snippets' box and the rose from my stash. I daubed some ink on my rose too, to tone it down as it was far too pink !!! I then made a Stick Pin with a skully charm. I made a ticket with the skeleton image and with the main image, I altered the colour/hue of the Digi in Photoshop to fit it with my scheme.

I hope you will pop over to the FORUM and have a snoop round.

See you later xoxoxox

    wow totally adore the great backing paper you have created this way!!! I need to try that out. I also love the image you have used. I ordered the great dancing skeletons ;o) of course you can't make it that small with a stamp... but should be fun.

      can we?!? Some stamp companies don't allow that because it's an infringement..... It removes the need for the digis... If so that would be great news!!! I've been wanting to use some of them in other formats...

      Here is a snippet of the reply at Smeared Ink as regards your question....
      "As far as scanning in and using a rubber image as a digi, we are going to allow this only if the image has been stamped out and colored (or altered/prepared in some way for your project) and THEN scanned. I've done this before on lots of digital projects (colored and then scanned)."

      There is a much longer answer over there which basically says that some companies might not like it and you have to check their Terms.

    Very interesting. Great grunge look and the wings and rose are great juxtapositions with the darker images.
