Grumpies rule

For today's inspiration at Smudgy Antics I did some recycling! I made pizza with pinapple rings on yesterday and realized that I could use the tin for today's project.

I printed out three grumpies and three sentiments, colored the grumpies in three different colors and shaded them. Then I cut out the sentiments and found a patterned paper to use as the background.

I glued everything on the tin and it looks fun, so I'm happy with it! =)

Don't forget to be able to enter our Anything goes challenge you have to use atleast one Smeared Ink image in your project! =)

Never Ending Grumpies

Today is my Smeared Ink day and I played in my craft room all weekend...didn't even get out of my pj's it was great!
and now I give you....a Never Ending Grumpies card


the paper I made with a tree stamp from Tattered angels, and some glimmer mist...I stamped all my grumpies and colored them with colored pencils, then put some liquid glass on their eyes...stamped all my different senties and there I have it...it really didn't take to long...I had so much fun making this...I found a video tutorial on Terra's blog last year sometime when I made my Never Ending Angels card...I hope you enjoyed looking at this as much as I enjoyed making it:)

thanks for stopping by...see you all tomorrow for the first day of the new Smeared Ink release!!!

Clean & Simple...with Smeared Ink?!?!

Hey All! Alison here! There’s something you probably don’t think about when you think of Smeared Ink stamps. Clean and simple. It’s certainly not something I usually think of! But I figured that some folks may be intimidated by the “typical” (I use that term very loosely!) Smeared Ink style. So, I wanted to show you that everyone can use these rad stamps, even if you like the Clean and the Simple! I started off by coloring Glam Vamp Anya with my watercolor markers. I cut her out, but I could have just stamped her directly on the card too. Then, I used 5 of the awesome sentiments from the Lil Grumpies set, stamped directly on the card. I purposely stamped them askew. I punched out a Drippy Goo Martha Stewart border and stuck it to the top. Two red Dew Drops to represent bite marks and a thin marker-made black border around the whole card and voila! Easy, clean and simple! I hope that I have shown you how to use these images in a different way. Have an inspiring day!
