Yes, you read the title right.....Smeared Ink is having a Design Team Call!!!
Mixed Media University
Smeared and
Smudged Forum/Smeared Ink Stamps
Do you have a different way of looking at things when it comes to rubber stamping? Do you LOVE working with different and unusual mediums in your stamped artwork? Do you have the urge to share your ideas with others? Smeared Ink is looking for design team members for our first ever Mixed Media University Design Team on our Smeared and Smudged Forum!
We are looking for 4-5 team members who are not afraid to think outside of the box and express themselves in interesting ways through their projects, who enjoy using all types of mixed media in their projects, who aren't afraid to try new things, and who have the capability of producing video tutorials for our Mixed Media University group on our forum. The Mixed Media University Design Team will be separate from our Smeared Ink Design Team, but will receive many of the same benefits and all of the same recognition and support.
Mixed Media University Design Team member art tutorials will be featured in the Smeared and Smudged Forum Mixed Media University group. We are looking for artists who have great personalities, who can relay their ideas and techniques well through video tutorials, and who have a genuine interest in teaching, sharing, and mentoring others. We are looking for individuals with vibrant personalities and various stamping styles. No prior DT experience is necessary to apply.
