creepmas journal page

Today I have a journal page for you, I used the digital image from Rick St.dennis called Yo Mouse no Stirring and I really like these creepy presents (there are losts in Rick's zibbet in the Creepmas section here), they look kinda scary but I am sure they are really very sweet and cute. I wondered why this guy was walking around with a watch but when I got working on the page it all got together, see the quote on the page. :-)  I think it is a very true saying and I guess giving your time to someone or get time from someone is the best gift ever.

Anyway time to get creepy LOL


I coloured the image using Derwent coloursoft pencils, that is why the colors are not that bright, I think Derwent gives a bit of a vintage look and sometimes that is just what I want, that's why I have different sets of pencils, they all give a different result. The image was printed on copier paper and I blended the colours using a paperstump and odourless mineral spirit (but baby oil or vaseline will give same result). I cut the image out and started working on the back ground.

For the background you will need the folowing products  by Deco Art:  Media misters in yellow, orange and purple. Americana acrylics in Red Alert and Festive green, Dazzlng metallic paint in Venetian gold and am Americana stencil called Short Circuit.

The other things I used is a stencil with little stars (mine is from Balzer Designs) the clock backgound stamp is by Kaisercraft and the splatter stamp is by Prima.

I used  A Sharpie to write te quote on a piece of cardstock and coloured it using Mustard Seed distress ink.

The background started out when I cleaned my misters from last use, I usually clean them  by using an empty spray bottle fill that with water and put the spay head I want to clean on that , I spary on empty pages of my journal to use that for backgrounds.

Next I added the clock stamp using Archival ink, took the Short Circuit stencil and gold paint to at some parts of the stencil on my page. It looks real cool and shiny in real life but it doesnt show that well in the pic.
To give it a more Christmas look I used the star stencil and Red and Green paint. I added some splatters by the prima stamp and tadddaaaa the background was done

I glued everyting on the page and made a bit of a shadow underneath the parcels feet using a water soluble crayon ( I love my watersoluble crayons, they are a kiddie brand and they were only 3 Euros for 12 in a cool plastic container and they work soo much better than the Gelatos I have)

Anyway that's it for today, Thanks

Oh if you have some time to spare visit my little shop on Zibbet, I am selling my handmade stuff there, so if you are looking for a prezzie yourself go and have a looksey :-)

creepmas shrine

For the 12 days of Creepmas hop over at Airless chambers I made this Creepmas Shrine

Stamp used: The Skullie nutcracker by Rick St.dennis  is a rubber stamp by Smeared Ink, but now only available as digi on the Dark Holidaze sheet
Deco Art products used : Metallic Lustres in Silver Spark and Brilliant Turquoise. Craft twinkles in Christmas Green, Christmas Red and Chrystal . Glamour Dust Glitter paint in Turquoise and Emerald. Americana acrylics  in Titanium white and Indian Turquoise.  Dazzling Metallics in Shimmering Silver, Triple thick Gloss Glaze , Glistening Snowtex and Gesso.

The shrine is made of 2 wooden frames a wooden box and a piece of chipboard.

First Gessoed all parts and painted them turquoise, added glitter paint and next traced one of the frames onto paper to cut out and emboss (Cutlebug embossing folder Snowflakes), also painted the paper and used metallic lustre on the embossed parts

 The pentacle is made of rhinestones, was a bit of a puzzle but I think it looks great as a creepmas star

The cross is a charm, it's upside down ofcourse....duh!  I mean,  CREEPMAS!! all Creepmas crosses are upside down aren't they?

 The nutcracker was stamped on paper, and coloured, I used glitter paint to give him some bling and a shine star rhinestone to put on his hat. After that I used 2 layers of triple thick gloss glaze to give it a more nutcracker varnished wood look.

 The trees are normal trees from my hubbies model train, I borrowed them :-)   and put lots of glitter on them to decorate (I don;t think hubby wants them back now LOL)

The snow flakes are stamped using white americana paint and they have rhinestones added. there is glitter paint in the inside walls of the shrine too

 I added some battery operated christmas lights to give it some extra cheer    errrmmm I mean CREEP

 to get some extra bling I added tinsel and silver painted, glittered skullies with real candles on their heads (candles and skulls are a must for a Creepmas shrine, everybody knows that)

 To give the scene a frozen look I added turquoise glitter glue to the edges and glistening snowtex on the ground......very creepmassy :-)   (I can just hear the nutcrackers scary voice sing "Let it go")

 O forgot to tell you, the embossed snowflakes on the frame have rhinestones too

 just like the eyes of the skull candle holders :-)

that's about it,  just paint glitter and rhinestone away and you have a blingy creepmas shrine, this one is made for the Sparkle challenge on Rick;s fans and friends facebook group..........cuz you did not think I would use that much glitter and bling on my own  would you???    there goes my dark reputation  lol

RSD progressive challenge December

Today the new challenge starts at Sparkle and Glitter, we of the RSD EDT all used the prize image for the entries of the first part of the challenge can get for free, but if you missed the first part of the challenge the image is in the shop too.

With Creepmas starting today it's obvious the image is a fun little prezzie with some sharp teeth, so be careful unwrapping, it can bite you know. For Creepmas lovers Rick has a new colouring book all Creepmas themed and Airless Chambers is in the 12 days of Creepmas hop, so if you need inspiration you know where to go.

I used the fun prezzie guy to make an AJ page.

 The digi used is called Take yer Pick and you can find him here.  DECO ART products used:
Media Shimmer misters in orange, white and violet, Media mister in purple. Traditons acrylic paint in Hansa Yellow and Ultramarine Blue. Americana stencils: pixelated and beliefs (Urban Ink, Personally Yours stencils by Deco Art. Glass paint markers in black and white.
The image was coloured using Crayola pencils

 For the background I used a page I had allready put some mister ink on,  When I clean my misters I spray the nozzles clean using a clean bottle filled with water and spray till clear water gets out of the nozzle. I use my journal to spray on that way I get a base of funky colours and no ink goes to waste
:-)

 Nect I used stencils to make the dots and the stars, i used acrylic paint and a kitchen sponge to dabb.

The quote is found on the internet and written with Deco Art Glass paint markers, I know they are supposed to be used on glass, but I found out they write over almost any surface, and acrylic paint is not an easy background to write on. These markers do a great job. :-)

The image is coloured using Crayola pencils and cut out and glued on the page, I gave his feet a bit of a shadow underneath using a black Gelato and used my finger to blend it in right shape.


We can't wait to see your entries using Take yer Pick, and don;t forget to check out Airless Chambers and the Zibbet shop for all digi and coloring books

Welcome to day 11 of Creepmas, organized by Smeared Ink, you can find the blogroll in the sidebar

Today a page in my leatherbound journal :-), love to work in it but hard to take a good picture

I used Witch Tree digi stamp by Rick St. dennis coloured using Prismacolor pencils and cut out.

Deco Art products used for the background: Americana Acrylic Gesso, Modeling paste, Americana Pearlizing medium. Glamour Dust Glitter paint in Turquoise Sparkle and Purple Passion. Americana Mixed media stencil Aztec pattern. Deco Art Tradtions in Naphthol red light, Carbon black, Ultramarine Blue, red Violet,

I bought this journal at Barnes and Noble in Santa Monica, and althoug the paper is thin it works great with paint.  I did bacecous this page with gesso and then mixed ultramarine traditons paint with pearlizing medium to get some shimmer in the paint, I painted the page blue and added the patterns in Naphthol red light and red violet. I used stencils for that.  Then I mixed modeling paste wiht the glamour dust in purple and used the bubble stencil. Let the modeling paste dry and added the turquise sparkle. I used some carbon black mixed with water to wash over the page to make it less bright.
You can still see the shimmer through the black wash.

Glued the digi on and wrote the senti, it is by Jack Skelington :-) (Nightmare before Christmas)

here a pic to show you the texture by the modeling paste
