Day 3 Finale: Grumpie Horde - Altered Dominoes

Happy Friday the 13th and welcome back for the 3rd and final day of Smeared Ink's 

 BLOODY VALENTINE BLOG HOP 2015!

  

Thank you so much for hopping with me over the last 3 days and leaving me your wonderful compliments!  I've had an absolute blast and enjoyed all your dark and twisty Valentines too!  If you've already been hopping with us then you arrived here from Teresa's blog but if you'd like to start from the beginning then pop on over to Black Dragon's blog!  The blog hop roll is below my project and over there in my right sidebar!
 

UHO!  Watch out, there's a love sick Grumpie Horde creeping up on us in the dark!!!  

Eeeek RUN!
 

Wanna Balloon?

 Oh No!  One love sick grumpie has broken away from the horde and has headed over to the Smudgy Antics challenge blog where it's my turn to give you your daily dose of Smeared Ink DT inspiration!

Hopefully you'll get a better look at him when you pop on over there ;0)

Love Sick Grumpie hiding out at Smudgy Antics!

UHO!  It's chaos, yet another one has dashed off to my DominoART blog!  Looks like he's trying to entice you into joining my current DominoART challenge, the theme is HEARTS + Any Game Goes!  Pop on over and see if you can catch a glimpse of Love Hurts grumpie too ;0)
 

Love Hurts Grumpie hiding out at DominoART!

 Thankfully two grumpies have stayed behind!  Here's a better look at these two cuties!

I used super-sized white dominoes to create my balloon toting horde which feature Smeared Ink's Love Lil Grumpies rubber stamp set.  The balloons I drew myself and the text on each one is also from the Love set!

Stalker and

I used Jet Black StazOn Ink to stamp the images onto the dominoes and heat set before colouring the images with various Sharpie markers using my signature Sharpie Domino Queen technique.  I edged and coloured the sides of each domino with a black Sharpie marker.  The balloons were drawn on Neenah Solar White cardstock and the text was stamped on each balloon with Tuxedo Black Memento ink before I coloured them with Copic markers.  The balloon string is black craft wire adhered to the backs of each domino and balloon and randomly bent and twirled for a fun and quirky look.  I took photos of the altered dominoes first before applying Judikins Diamond Glaze to protect the stamped surface because it's tricky to get a good photo without the glare on the glaze.
 

Off you go on the rest of the hop and don't forget to stop by both Smudgy Antics and DominoART to see more scary cute Love Grumpies!

Have a freaky fabulous weekend and see you again for Bloody Valentine 1016!

A Tribute to Poe - Coffin Trinket Box & DominoART Necklace Part 2!

Hello Everyone!
As I mentioned yesterday we're into the 2nd week of my DominoART blog's 31 Days of Halloween Scarefest and blog hop with Smeared and Smudged!  39 blogs are playing this year and it's the largest month long blog hop in Smeared and Smudged history!  It's not too late to hop with us and win some awesome prizes in the daily Scavenger Hunts.  Check it all out on my Day 1 post!

My Day 10 post was a tribute to Poe coz October 7 was the anniversary of Edgar Allan Poe's mysterious death 165 years ago.  Using my new stamps designed by me, Autumn's Pencil, plus Smeared Ink's Poe I created a coffin trinket box with an altered domino necklace nestled inside.

Yesterday I introduced you to my new rubber stamps I designed exclusively for Smeared Ink called "Autumn's Pencil"!

Autumn's Pencil by Leigh Snaith-Brunton - September 2014 Smeared Ink Rubber Club exclusive now available to the public for order in November!

Today's post is all about the Domino necklace!

I used a brand new standard size white domino straight out of the tin and stained it with 2 shades of Memento grey ink and randomly tapped the edges onto a jet black Archival ink pad then dabbed at it with a piece of scrunched up paper towel for a mottle stone effect before heat setting it.  The image of Poe was stamped onto the domino with black Archival ink and heat set again.  I then applied metallic Liquid Silver DecoColor paint pen to the bevelled edges of the domino and put it aside to dry.

I stamped the large background stamp from my Autumn's Pencil rubber stamp set, which I call the Black Rose coz of the large rose-like tangle onto white light weight cardstock with jet black Archival ink and cut two narrow strips the same width as the sides of the domino.  I added depth to the image with pencil in true Zentangle fashion and applied Black Soot Distress ink to the edges before adhering to the sides of the domino with double sided tape.

I sealed the entire domino with matte Delta Ceramcoat varnish and embellished the front with 2 black metal roses and metal alphabet embellies adhered with small drops of Judikins Diamond Glaze.  Once dry I adhered the bale/brooch combo to the back with E6000 adhesive and added a silver chain with a lobster claw clasp. 
 

 The necklace nestles nicely inside the matching coffin trinket box I made to go with it.

Happy Stamping!

A Tribute to Poe - Coffin Trinket Box & DominoART Necklace Part 1!

Hello Everyone!
We're into the 2nd week of my DominoART blog's 31 Days of Halloween Scarefest and blog hop with Smeared and Smudged!  It's not too late to hop with us and win some awesome prizes in the daily Scavenger Hunts.  Check it all out on my Day 1 post!

For today's post, Day 10, I created a tribute to Poe.
October 7, 165 years ago, Edgar Allan Poe was taken from us.  Using my new stamps, Autumn's Pencil, plus Smeared Ink's Poe I created a coffin trinket box with an altered domino necklace nestled inside.

Today's post is going to concentrate on the Coffin Trinket Box. Stop by tomorrow for more info on how I made the Domino necklace!

The wooden coffin box is from Michaels and I stained it black with Black Soot Distress

Stain.  While it dried I stamped the large background stamp from my Autumn's Pencil rubber stamp set, which I call the Black Rose coz of the large rose-like tangle, twice onto white light weight cardstock and 4 times onto heavy weight with jet black Archival ink.  Also stamp the narrow border stamp 3 times, which I call the Bleeding Edge coz of the blood drips on both ends.  Add depth to the images with pencil in true Zentangle fashion.  Cut the Black Rose part out of 4 of them to make the layered rose on the front of the trinket box.

Remove the hardware on the box and adhere two of the narrow panels to the sides with Scotch Quick Dry adhesive.  Use a sharp blade to cute down the join so the box can open again.  Use the 3rd narrow panel for the top and bottom of the box.  Adhere the two large panels to the back and front of the box and make sure you center the rose on the front.  Trim the excess away with scissors.  Apply Black Soot Distress Ink to all the edges.

Cut the 4 rose sections slightly smaller each time and adhere them to black cardstock and cut out.  Layer them onto the front of the box with black pop dots.  For the inside of the box I scanned a page from Tales of Mystery by Edgar Allen Poe and lined the inside of the lid with it and added yellow silk fabric to the base.  Seal the entire box with matte Delta Ceramcoat varnish and put the hardware back on.  Add 6 Inkssentials black enamel dots to the front corners and embellish with 2 black metal roses and metal alphabet embellies adhered with small drops of Judikins Diamond Glaze.

Don't forget to stop by again tormorrow for more info on how I made my altered domino necklace!

Happy Stamping!

"Fire" Domino Pendant for Smudgy Antics Challenge "Fire and Ice"!

Howzit Friends!
I hope you all had a spooktacular Halloween!
We sure did over at DominoART with our 31 Days of Halloween Scarefest and blog hop with Smeared and Smudged!  I'm announcing the winners on Tuesday so stop by and check out all the spooktacular altered game art and see who snapped up the 3 fabulous prizes!

"Fire"Domino Pendant

 I've got one of my "Sharpie Domino Queen" creations to share with you today for week one of Smudgy Antics new challenge "Fire and Ice"!  I used a Rick St Dennis image from Smeared Ink's exclusive Rubber Club set called "Morte".

I stamped a portion of the image onto a super-sized white domino and used Sharpie markers in my signature "Sharpie Domino Queen" style to colour the image and create a background that looks like flames.  The surface was sealed with Triple Thick gloss sealer and once dry I applied a coat of Inkssentials Matte Accents to give the stamped image a dimensional effect and added a touch of diamond glitter glue to the candle flames.  I used a DecoColor metallic gold paint pen to edge the domino before applying Tim Holtz Idea-ology script paper tape to the sides.  To make the pendant I adhered the sun bail to the front of the domino instead of the back and added a burgundy sued cord and jewelry findings to make the necklace. 

Now we've got Christmas to look forward too, YAY!  I'm still needing a few more sign ups for my Merry Players list for DominoART's 12 Days of Xmas Festival and I'm also taking sign ups in advance for DominoART's 15 Days of Terror for May 2014 which is when we celebrate Half-O-Ween ;0)  Click the links above for more deets on both events!  My new DominoART challenge started November 1st too, Any Game Goes with Any Theme, so dig out your bag of miscellaneous game pieces and come and play with us!

Thank you for visiting with me today and I hope you'll come and play in our Smudgy Antics challenges and I'll see you over at DominoART too! 

Happy Stamping!

Book of the Dead - Altered Game Art for the Dark & Twisty TCCC#7 Challenge!

Hello Everyone!

Woohoo, my project was the Gruesome Twosome at Haunted Design House :0)

I hope you're all enjoying the spooktacular altered game art eye candy being shared on my DominoART blog during our 31 Days of Halloween event plus the blog hopping going on for Smeared and Smudge's 31 Days of Halloween too!  If this is the first time you're hearing all about it then hop on your broomsticks and dash on over to DominoART for all the gorey details!

My project I'm sharing today is for the Third Coast Challenge I'm currently hosting called
TCCC#7 Dark & Twisty - A Macabre Halloween!
The challenge ends on Oct 24 at 7am!  So if you've got some Third Coast Stamps that fit the theme then hurry in your challenge entry for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate!

I had major surgery with some nasty complications on Oct 2 and its taken all my energy to keep up the posts on my DominoART blog's 31 Days of Halloween but I'm improving with each day and wanted to share this wicked cool project I made before my surgery!

Book of The Dead
Altered Rummy Tiles Project

All supplies are available at Blockheads Paper Arts
the sponsors of DominoART's 31 Days of Halloween grand prize!

All the rubber stamps are from
Third Coast Rubber Stamps!
Grave Digger FA-494-K, Tree of Dread sm VB-054-C, Halloween Queen VB-299-P, Pumpkin Princess VB-300-J, Batty for Halloween VB-291-P, Spider Web AP-522.

I used 2 Rummy tiles to make the cover for my book and drilled 2 holes into the top of each tile.
I coloured the 'back's of the tiles with the following Alcohol inks:
Earthtones - Slate, Lights - Lake Mist, Mixative - Silver and Mixatives - Snow Cap.  The sides and the 'fronts' of the tiles are coloured with a metallic silver Sharpie marker.  The images were all stamped with Jet Black StazOn ink and the surface sealed with Judikins Diamond Glaze.  The glaze actually changed the colour of the alcohol inks and made the brown hues appear!
I made the spiral wire embellies from silver wire and adhered them over the holes on the front cover with a dab of Judikins Diamond Glaze and added the Making Memories metal Randsom Letter D too.
I used Vellum Alphabet stickers by NRN Designs to form the rest of the word.

View of the back with the olive green ribbon threaded through the book and tied in a bow on the back.  The photos below show all the pages I made for my book.  I used white cardstock and tore the paper to make the pages and coloured them with Distress Inks Peeled Paint and Black Soot.  All the images were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I created a little pocket on each page and stapled the sides of each pocket with a tiny staple.  Holes were punched through the top edge of each page with a pick tool.  The pages are hung on silver jump rings and inserted between the Rummy covers and the ribbon threaded through the jump rings holds the pages inside the book.

 I plan to hand write spells on some tiny pieces of paper and/or tags and insert them into the page pockets to complete my project!

Thanks for visiting my blog today, now hop on your broomsticks and zoom on over to my Third Coast blog and enter the TCCC#7 Dark &Twisty challenge then back on over to DominoART to continue feasting your greedy eyes on the eye candy and blog hop your self silly with Smeared and Smudged!
