This month I have had fun playing with a digital stamp. I am relatively new to them and find that they are super because you can resize them to suit your needs. I love the crisp look and find the Smeared Ink Steampunk Grumpies line filled with fun characters. I selected Steampunk Grumpies Goggles for my character. I decided a long time ago I wanted a book mark for my art journal. I dislike the cover that is more an advertisement for the company who produced it so I use the cardboard side as my cover. Well now my little buddy will have a great home holding my place as I work…. Supplies: Steampunk Grumpies Goggles Watercolor water brushes Watercolor Colored Pencils Royal & Langnickel Sari Silk Ribbons canvas inkjet fabric for printing (have on hand) Aleene’s glue elastic 1/2 inch wide (have on hand) Gold/ Bronze markers for background (on hand) Sewing machine (optional) Hot Glue (on hand) Chipboard (on hand)     Thank you for joining me! See you next month f...

Jess  here today with  an awesome mechanical heart card. This is the first time I have ever used a digital stamp.  I don't know how I went this long.  I loved being able to play with the size.  This is the Sewn Heart from  Smeared Ink .  I printed my image on card stock and fussy cut the image. I actually printed the image twice so I could use bits and pieces to layer.   I cut a large portion out to make a window.                                              I added some mesh behind the heart and used double stick tape to hold it in place. Using my second image I covered the thin edge with washi tape and then cut it out to place on top of my full piece.  You can't really tell, but there is some Clearly for Art plastic on top of the mesh so it looks like the bolts are holding this piece in place.  The b...
