Happy Monday! Today is my team's turn to create samples for the Smeared Ink Challenge for this week: Dear Heart- Use or make a heart. In order to encourage more participants, you are no longer required to use a Smeared Ink image on your project to play in the challenge. However, if you want to win a prize, you do need a Smeared Ink image on your project. Several of my DTmates are digital artists so there is some great eye candy if you are like me and like digital but are still slowly learning.
For my 8x8x2 box I am featuring Bot Bots- Tubby! I love his spikes because you can embellish him in a variety of ways. I colored Tubby with colored pencil and blended with odorless mineral spirits (neat way to use pencils but I am still practicing). The bolts and hinges were colored with a silver gel pen.
The background was created by stamping a splatter image from the Inky Dreams sheet, blitzing various shades or pink/ peach/ orange ink and some diecut hearts. The hearts were embossed with a crocodile texture embossing folder (I looked for one of these for YEARS- you should have seen me when I actually found it at Hobby Lobby). I love crocodile texture! I applied die ink with a Ranger applicator and some gloss medium to the red piece/ matt medium to the orange piece and let it dry before cutting with my Slice. I tossed in a few hearts cut from glitter cardstock as well.
I have been awake since 4:45. Off to another busy week! Have a great day and GET OFF THE COMPUTER AND GO MAKE STUFF!
Randy here- What a tough day I had yesterday (Sunday). I'm waiting for a delivery and I literally sat on the mailbox all day waiting for the postman. I did have to visit the woods a few times but no mail/ packages at all. What is wrong with that postman?Thanks for stopping by!
