ALL SMEARED INK
Whatever project you submit must be made using only Smeared Ink Stamps. If you're lucky you'll have previously joined the Smeared Ink Rubber Club and have loads to choose from any way. If you aren't, all is not lost because there are loads of digital stamps available in the shop as well.
I made some little sweet/gift boxes from the cardboard inner tube of that good old faithful - toilet tissue.
These happen to be covered with a selection of papers from the Smeared Ink shop as well.
Stamps used are the spiders from the discontinued Killer Bo-Peep rubber set, (LOVE these spiders!!) Window and raven from Holy City I and the snakes from one of the Rick St Dennis collections - Voodoo. Yes - Mr Rick designs for the Smeared Ink Rubber club as well.
You want to know how? It's really simple
(I got the idea from pinterest somewhere in my travels a while ago)
Take one cardboard inner tube and flatten.
mark and cut as seen here. (I used the inside of a roll of tape as a guide)
next fold in along the marked lines (approx)
Cover and decorate as you wish.
So whilst you're making for the 31 days of Hallowe'en hop - don't forget to make an "ALL SMEARED INK" project and enter into the challenge at Smudgy Antics.
Thank you for looking and for all your marvellous comments.
If you're interested, the small candy I am offering personally is still ongoing - go back and see my post for saturday.
