"Dark Etchings" Domino Book for Rick St Dennis EDT!

Hello Everyone!

I'm super stoked to now be on the fabulous Rick St Dennis Elite Design Team!  Rick's images in both digi and rubber are simply stunning and there's a huge variety of imagery to suit every possible taste!  Check out all the digis in his Zibbet and Etsy stores and some real rubber is available Here!

This is my first EDT post for the Rick St Dennis Fans and Friends Facebook group.  February sees some changes regarding our challenges which you can read about HERE!  We also have 2 fun blogs for more EDT inspiration too:
Airless Chambers and Sparkle and Glitter

 My project today is a Domino Book and is another addition to a series of "Dark Etchings" I've been having fun with for a while now.  I call them 'dark etchnings' because I create monochromatic black and gray pieces that remind me of traditional etched prints.  Previous ones were done with Black Soot Distress Ink on watercolour paper and this one is done with Copics and Sharpie markers.  Check out my other Rick St Dennis ones HERE!


The dominoes are stamped with black StazOn ink and coloured with gray and black Sharpies.  The edges and sides with the dots are coloured solid black.


Here's the pages of the book.  The scene is a compilation of Rick St Dennis "Haunted Places #1" digis coloured with Copics in shades of gray.  Sadly the rubber is no longer available and the digis aren't up in the RSD stores so ask for the digis if you need them but this technique is well suited for lots of the images that are available!  Check out all the digis in the Zibbet and Etsy stores.
UPDATE:
Haunted Places is now available at the RSD Zibbet store here:  https://www.zibbet.com/rick1949/haunted-places-one-digi-sheet


The edges of each page have Black Soot Distress Ink applied and the black background has a metallic silver edging which you can see in the photo below.


Here's the completed Domino Book with a black ribbon tied in a bow, the ribbon has silver wire wrapped around the ends.


 Thank you for visiting with me today!
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!
