Here is my day 4 project using Rick St. Dennis Christmas light eater digi stamp
When I had coloured this guy I didn't know what to make with it right away, so I had put him a side and worked on some other creepmas projects till I finally got an idea.
I love how it turned out, hope you will like it too, lots of pics here, enjoy
Now the cool part, I used a make up sponge to wipe red distress ink (from inkpad) over the card, the white stazon resists the distress ink so you will see the white of the stamped image pop out of the red ink. Then I added some green ink here and there. Glued the digi on and decorated the card using the weathered clock TH die, the gear TH die and some holly leaves.
The Christmas lights are battery operated led lights. i puched holes in the card and put the lights through the holes. Because all the technical parts (batteries and wire) are inside the card, I added some wire on the outside of the card to to connect the little lightbulbs and make it look like the are connected to the digital christmas lights the lighteater is eating.
And one more pic to share, my workspace after finishing this card, this might be shocking.
looks like a bomb exploded huh?, don't worry got it cleaned up allready, till the next explosion of creativity .........
see you tomorrow, Smeared Ink will be joining us again then, happy hopping

ReplyDeleteHoi Monique,
ReplyDeleteJe hebt weer een prachtig kaartje gemaakt! En Lighteater is erg leuk. Ik denk dat iedereen wel eens dat gevoel heeft met die kerstlampjes voor de boom! Ik in ieder geval wel! Zo af en toe kon ik ze wel door de ruiten gooien!
Je werkkamer is mega super herkenbaar! En als m'n kaartje klaar is ruim ik het ook altijd weer op. Tot het volgende projekt .... Groetjes, Caroline
