Your daily dose of Smeared Ink

Hello all! Today it's my turn to share my Smeared Ink make with you. I don't know about all of you but I am loving getting a daily dose of Smudgyness. Today I'm sharing my piece for 12 days of creepmas.

I have used the RSD rubber stamp called Skullcracker from the Dark Holidaze set, this image is now also available as a digital stamp too!

If you would like to see all the other details for this piece hop over to my blog :)

Smudgy Antics Dec 4th DT Inspiration

Time for me to inspire for the new challenge here at Smudgy Antics, now that we are up and running again! =)

So stop by here and read about the challenge, don't forget that you have to use Smeared Ink images to participate in the challenge and since the theme is "Anything Goes" it's easy peacy! =)

I used the Steampunk candycane and colored it with my promarkers, cut it out and layered a background using a brown cs, then bit's and pieces from Panduro's Christmas collection Deadly Sweet Christmas! =)

Your daily dose of Smudgy Antics is here!

So how are you liking the daily dose of inspiration for 

our new Anything Goes challenge? Pretty cool, right?
It's nice to keep the momentum going each week throughout
the entire month. The brilliant inspiration just never stops!

Even though I masquerade as Creepy Glowbugg, I do enjoy the

festivities of Creepmas. Especially the gift giving (and receiving).

Every year I am at a loss for gift tags. I don't know if maybe there

are gift tag eating rodents in the garage who dine exclusively on my

handmade tags and nothing else, but every year I have to make more tags. 

Way more tags than I have ever used in one holiday.

I'm not really  a fan of the adhesive ones, although I usually end up using
them anyway with my constant shortage of homemade tags.

This year I have used Brass, the Steampunk Reindeer for a set of tags.

He is just too stinkin' cute, and perfect for weirdos and norms, alike!

And then I had to make some homemade specimen jar tags.
Friends and family expect nothing less from me anymore.

I put this guy together using my favorite little bear from the 

Candy is Dandy rubber set, the empty specimen jar digi,  

and the jar label digi.

Stamped a simple, "to: and from:" on the backs,
added some baker's twine, and viola!
I'm ready to start wrapping some gifts!

Be sure to stop by everyday for another fabulous gift of
DT inspiration. And if you're feeling creative, add your
Anything Goes (using a Smeared Ink rubber or digi image)
make here. 

Smudgy Antics SIDT Project - AJ Page by Crafty Inknik

Good day to everyone,

Shoni aka Crafty Inknik here. Very exciting that inspiration will be happening once a day by each of the Smeared Ink Design Team members.  I have done an Art Journal Page for you today using the Smeared Ink rubber set called Voodoo.

This page was inspired by this past season of American Horror Story - Coven.  If you know me, I LOVE this series and am well into this seasons...which rocks as well.  Quotes are from different episodes from the altered version of Papa Legba.
