Art Journal Every Day Design Team Call
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 journaling? Do you have the urge to share your ideas with others? Smeared Ink is looking for design team members for our first ever Art Journal Every Day 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 art journals, who enjoy using all types of different techniques, who aren't afraid to try new things, and who have the capability of producing tutorials for our Art Journal Every Day group on our forum. The Art Journal Every Day 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.
Art Journal Every Day Design Team member tutorials will be featured in the Smeared and Smudged Forum Art Journal Every Day group. We are looking for artists who have great personalities, who can relay their ideas and techniques well through their technique 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.
