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!

Something Wicked This Fae Comes.... a 3rd Coast project!

Can you feel all the creatures of the night getting restless as the scariest month of the year fast approaches?  If you dare to look into the fog on the night of a full moon you just might be able to make out some ghostly shapes of all the creatures of the Fae drawing near!

Here's my 1st Halloween project of the year designed for week 1 of the new challenge over at the Third Coast Challenge Blog - TCCC#5 Something Wicked This Fae (way) Comes Bingo Challenge.

I used the following Third Coast Rubber Stamps on this one:
VB-237-L Devilment, VB-291-P Batty for Halloween, FA-494-K Grave Digger, VB-299-P Halloween Queen, VB-300-J Pumpkin Princess, CH-183-J Sign Stump, VB-041-EE Happy Bat Sm.

As you already know I'm a huge fan of fantasy/scifi and LOVED the X-Files, love Supernatural and now I'm currently watching Lost Girl and this new show calls the creatures of the magical world, Fae!

"Fae" is just another word for all people/creatures that belong in the magical, supernatural, paranormal, mythical or fantasy world.  So basically there's humans and then there's Fae.  Ghosts, werewolves, succubi, vampires, dragons, mermaids, fairies, witches and all kinds of monsters, demons and beasts of both good and evil fall under the classification of Fae!

From the TCCC#5 Bingo Grid I selected the following 3 elements:
Purple, Fae, Glitter and went with Black too!

The 3 elements for the challenge must be in a row where all the blocks touch and the row can run either horizontally, vertically or diagonally.

Call for players - DominoART's annual '31 Days of Halloween' spooktacular event!

Something Wicked is coming to DominoART!

For 31 days throughout October you will be treated to spooktacular DominoART eye candy!

So who wants to play in our annual DominoART 31 Days of Halloween spooktacular event?

Here's all the info if you dare to join the fun!

'Alice in Pink' a Steampunk Pink Third Coast Project!

Hello Everyone!
We're half way through the Steampunk Pink challenge I'm hosting over at the Third Coast Creative Challenge blog and here's my latest inspiring creation titled 'Alice in Pink'.

I went mostly with the baby pink colour scheme for this project even though I usually prefer darker pinks.  But it works for me coz I like the menacing and quirky vibe of the 'Snow White-esque meets Alice' twisted world with the looming evil Queen of Hearts watching Alice's every move in her magic mirror.

Click on the photo on the left if you missed seeing my first Steampunk Pink creation titled "Steampunk Caprica 6" - inspired by my idea of what BSG's Caprica 6 Cylon would have looked like if she existed in the 'Firefly' verse ;0)

Coffee Siren Pocket Gift Card - Blockheads' September Challenge!

Hello Everyone!
It's challenge time again at Blockheads Paper Arts and this time design team member, Barb, has a demo on how to make a super easy and super fun pocket card.  Check out her tutorial and get all the info on how to enter the challenge here!

Here's my take on the pocket card.  I know most of you hear the call of the Coffee Siren or at least know someone who does.  Here's a little giftie idea that is suitable for any occasion and a perfect stocking stuffer for all those coffee junkies ;0)

'Steampunk Caprica 6' a Third Coast Coterie project

Hello Everyone!

I'm hosting a new challenge at the Third Coast Creative Challenge blog and the theme is Steampunk Pink!  Before you dash off to start creating your entries check out my Steampunk Pink project titled "Steampunk Caprica 6"!

Some of you might get the title straight away but for those of you who aren't watchers of scifi-fantasy TV shows I shall explain ;0)  In the new version of Battlestar Galactica the Cylons evolved from robots into human-like cyborgs.  The main Cylon was model #6 and she was a blonde and there were a few versions of her and one of them became known as Caprica Six.  Now you see where I'm going with this one ;0)  However, I'm also a Firefly fan and I loved the Steampunk vibe of the series.  So my Steampunk project depicts what the #6 Cylon would have looked like if BSG had taken place in the Firefly universe...yes, this is the kind of thing that goes on in my head LOL ;0)

The use of the colour pink is dominant coz of the current Third Coast challenge of course and the star of the show is Third Coast's stamp called Geared Up (KG-058-X)!

The Owl and the PussyCat - another Blockheads' FairyTale Project!

Hello Everyone!
I'm thrilled to bits that you all enjoyed my 'Tea Time Hissy Fit' fairytale project so much, thank you for all the wonderful comments you left for me :0)

I'm back today with another fun 'Fringe Fairytail' project for Blockheads Paper Arts and this time we're going to sea with the Owl and the Pussycat!  This one measures 7.50 inches x 7.25 inches.

I was inspired by the poem by Edward Lear.

The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
    In a beautiful pea green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
    Wrapped up in a five pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
    And sang to a small guitar,
'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love,
      What a beautiful Pussy you are,
          You are,
          You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!'...

But in my little scenario the Steampunk-esque Owl and Pussycat are just best buddies off on an amazing adventure and admiring the stars on the way ;0)

"Tea Time Hissy Fit" - when things go horribly wrong at a Wonderland tea party!

 Once upon another day in Wonderland at another Mad Hatter Tea Party....

 I was excited to find an invite to the party when I got home from spying on all the guests and I see you all did too so welcome to the party!  I'm so glad you all decided to dress up in the Steampunk style too, the Mad Hatter will be so pleased :0)

Pull up a chair and help yourself to some tea and cake....UHO, what is all that ruckus about?

Oh NO!  The Mad Hatter is making fun of the Cheshire Cat's wings...the horror...and...oh my, the Cheshire Cat is throwing a huge hissy fit!!!!

....a few seconds later....

Oh dear, the Cheshire Cat just stalked off in a huff...well that was an unfortunate turn of events!

Well, you're all here now so I may as well tell you how I created my "Tea Time Hissy Fit" diorama while you enjoy your tea and cake ;0)

See my Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat, Royal Rooster and the Rocketeer posts to see how this project began with Blockheads' new Fringe Folktails stamp set and then continue reading!

Who else is going to the 'Tea Party'? Intro #3

The fairytail continues....so quick story recap...

Once upon another day in Wonderland some very quirky characters are excitedly getting ready to attend a steampunk themed costume Tea Party.

We've already peeked in on the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat getting ready for the party so let's see who else we can spy on ;0)

Oh my, looks like we've stumbled upon the Royal Rooster and his best friend, The Rocketeer!  They are ready and heading off to the party already!  Don't they look like a handsome pair ;0)

The Royal Rooster

The Rocketeer

Both of these feathered beauties are from Blockheads Paper Arts' brand new Steampunk-esque "Fringe Folktails" and in celebration of the launch the set is currently on sale for $12!

 Stamp both images with Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto Neenah Solar White cardstock and colour with the following Copic Sketch markers: 

All the feathers are coloured with a combo of E0000, 000, 11, 13, 15, 18 and 41.  The Rooster's Head gear: E15 and 09, Crown: Y17 and 23 with W1 and C3 to give it a tarnished gold effect and also add some shadows.  Beaks:  Y17 and 23 with R39 and 46 on the Rooster.  Talons: Y17 and 23.  Owl's eyes are G09 and all the Steampunk get-up: W1, 3, 5, C0, 3 and 5.

Complete the look with touches of metallic silver and gold Promarkers with hightlights of white gel pen.  Completely cut out the images with a pair of sharp detail scissors.  Add Judikins Diamond Glaze to the Owl's googles for a glass-like finish.

So it looks like we've met everyone that is invited to the Mad Hatter's Tea Party.  Let's head on over and see if we can grab a cup of tea and a piece of cake when no one is looking..... ;0)

Happy Stamping!

Steampunk 'Tea Party' character intro #2 ;0)

The fairytail story continues....

Once upon another day in Wonderland some very quirky characters are excitedly getting ready to attend a steampunk themed costume Tea Party.

We've already peeked in on the Mad Hatter getting ready for the party so let's see who else we can spy on ;0)

Ah, look, there's the Cheshire Cat, and oh my, what on earth is he wearing?  Are those wings?

The Cheshire Cat is from the same set as the Mad Hatter, Blockheads Paper Arts' brand new Steampunk-esque "Fringe Folktails" and in celebration of the launch the set is currently on sale for $12!

 Stamp the winged kitty with Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto Neenah Solar White cardstock.  I decided to go with the Disney colour scheme for my Cheshire Cat so that he would be instantly recognizable and coloured him with the following Copic Sketch markers:

Fur and Wings: V01, 06, 15, 17, RV10 and 13
Steampunk get-up: W1, 3, 5, C0, 3 and 5.

Complete the look with touches of metallic silver Promarkers with hightlights of white gel pen.  Completely cut out the entire image with a pair of sharp detail scissors.
Okay, we'd better leave kitty to it and see who else we can spy on....

Happy Stamping!

The Mad Hatter is from Blockheads Paper Arts' brand new Steampunk-esque "Fringe Folktails" stamp set and in celebration of the launch the set is currently on sale for $12!

"Memory Fragments of A Lovely Day" Artistic Outpost projects Part 2!

Hi Everyone!
I'm having fun with Artistic Outpost stamps this week and yesterday I shared my "Touch of British" vintage grunge card and I'm back today with my 2nd project titled "Memory Fragments of A Lovely Day".

I love the feeling of the warm glow of summer filled with wonderful memories invoked by the colours of the card!  I had to show you the side view first coz that one shows the richness of the 'true' colours, especially the pearlized pale yellow cardstock I used on the left hand side of the card.  You can see in the front view below that my camera just wouldn't capture the yellow colour properly at that angle and makes it look more peach!  I tried but just couldn't get the colours to show up properly, darn it :0(

I used the Windmill, Tulips and the sentiment images from the same stamp set called A Lovely Day.  Artistic Outpost rubber stamps are now available in the Blockheads Paper Arts store so go check them out!

"Touch of British" Grunge card featuring Artistic Outpost Stamps!

Hello Everyone!
Well I had planned to make a Diamond Jubilee card in June while all the festivities were underway but I just didn't get around to it but now we've got the Olympic Games going on in the UK so here's a Diamond Jubilee slash British inspired card with a touch of vintage grunge!

Update:  Woohoo!  "Touch of British" made Top 5 at Try it on Tuesday :0)

Today I'm featuring Artistic Outpost stamps!  If you love the old world grunge style then you're going to want to check out these fab vintage stamps over in the Blockheads Paper Arts store!  This is the first of a few Artistic Outpost projects so check back again tomorrow to see what else I've been up to ;0)

I used the Girl with Crown collage image from the A Lovely Day set.

"Ice Nymph" Third Coast Creative Coterie card

Happy Saturday Everyone!
First I want to say welcome to all my new followers, I'm so pleased you guys enjoy my art :0)

added note:  Ice Nymph made Top 3 at Divas by Design..Woohoo!

Here's my 2nd Christmas card project for the week and this one was made as inspiration for the Third Coast Creative Challenge Blog I'm coordinating on behalf of Third Coast Rubber Stamps!

Do you remember the birthday card I made for my sister a few weeks ago using one of Third Coast's newest images called Spring's Muse?

 My sister absolutely loved her card and I love this rubber stamp so much I had to use it again but this time I transformed Spring into an Ice Nymph ;0)  There is a Winter's Muse stamp available but I don't have that one...yet ;0)...so I decided to winterize the same image just by using a wintery colour scheme and embellishments!  I LOVE how it turned out and I think you just might see some more of my favourite Muse in a rainbow of colours in the
future ;0)  You can check out my post for the card above here!
