halloween card

 I made a card using a rubber stamp available at I Brake for Stamps, it is designed by Rick S.dennis and  this pretty lady is called miss Hagatha Crone. I made the background using Deco Art Media misters (in Yellow Green, Orange and purple), a Deco Art stencil, designed by Andy Skinner (Shredded), Americna Acrylic paint in orange flame and some stamps. Used a Deco Art paint glass marker in white to trace the stamps and the edges of the card

Tomb Tag

I made a tag in the shape of a tomb, it has some "secret doors"in it, it's my entry for the Tag challenge at the Rick St. dennis FB group here

To make this tag I used the Tim Holz headstone die and carboard. All rubber stamps used are designed by Rick and now available as digi in the Zibbet shop. The Haunted house is still available in rubber at I Brake for Stamps

Deco Art products used: Metallic Lustre in Silver Spark, Traditions acrylic in Carbon Black, Glamour dust in neon orange, Americana neons in orange. Media Crackle paste.

The front closes with a ribbon, when you untie it it opens to this:

stamps are autumn window skulls and common grave skulls, both from the morte rubber set.

The skulls are stamped using white Stazon and the window is coloured using Faber Castell Polychromos pencils.

The window can be opened to this:

 The skull is I've got an eye on you and the haunted house (rubberstamp) is for sale at I Brake for Stamps

The spiderweb is a die and in the back of the tomb the skulls are stamped inJet Black Archival over the neon orange and glitter orange paint.

the front and the back of the  headstone are covered in a layer of crackle paste to make the cardboard look like stone. The crackle is ages a bit using distress ink.

Here you can see the side of the headstone, it is made out of cardboard and I just layered the die custs and cut out the middle part.

A finnabair inspired canvas for the RSD progressive challenge

Time for a new challenge at the Rick St.dennis Sparkle and Glitter blog, it's anything goes as long as you use a Rick St.dennis image


I made a Finnabair inspired canvas using Alice with Teacup, a rubber stamp from I Brake for Stamps, designed by Rick.

Deco Art products used:
Acrylic Gesso, Modeling Paste.
Stencils: Flower Market and  Distressed Harlequin
Media Misters, Orange, Primary Yellow, and Shimmer misters in Yellow, turquoise and Violet.
Metallic Lustres in Orange Flicker, Cosmic Blue, Elegant Emerald, Majestic Purple, Radiant Red,Brilliant Turquoise.

This was eal fun to mae and much easie than you should think, it is just collecting all kinds of fowers and other things you want to use. I wanted an Alice in Wonderland theme so I went for a toy porcelein tea pot and cups, an old necklace, small playing cards, a bottle, a key and some Tim Holz dies and a wooden frame.

Glue everything on the canvas and use gesso to paint it all white and give it a base to use the misters on. I used stencils and modeling paste to add some texture and when all was dry I started misting.
Added a bit metallic Lustre and voila, a Finnabair inspired canvas.

The Alice stamp inside the frame is coloured using Derwent Inktense pencils, the back ground is distress ink.

happy Halloween

I have a few projects to show you, starting with a lantern (everyone needs one this night)

I used a lantern I bought it had a text on it in white, I scraped it off using a knife and cleaned the glass using rubbing alcohol.

Then I spayed Deco Art Americana Acrylic Matte Sealer/finisher on the glass, let dry overnight.
Mask the parts you don't want paint on and use chalkboard paint to paint 2 bands leaving the middle part un painted. see pic.

Next use the rubber stamp from the Morte set ( designed by Rick St. dennis available at Smeared Ink) and archival jet black ink to sramp on the glass, careful not to smudge and let the ink dry before touching.  The Sealer makes the glass less slippery so it will be easier to stamp.

the spiders and skulls are made using a Deco Art Halloween stencil and Deco Art Glo in the dark dimensional writer

this is what it looks like in the dark

cool huh?

Next is an altered box

this started as a cardboard box .

The skull is a Rick St. dennis stamp from the Morte set by Smeared Ink, it was stamped in clay. when dry it was glues to the box cover. The rest of the lid was coverd using Deco Art Modeling paste.

when dry add American Acryloc gesso .

  next is a thin layer of Deco Art Texture Sand. The colour is a mix of Deco Art Media fluids Phtalo Turquoise, Phtalo Green Blue, Paynes grey and Quinacidone gold

last project is a tag using a rubber stamp designed by Rick St. Dennis, calld Skelly ton,  and available at I Brake for Stamps

the back ground is embossed and coloured using Deco Art Metallic lusttres.   Lavish Green for the branch die,The back ground :  Cosmic Blue , Elegant Emerald and Majestic purple

Amulet and Brigitte

I've got 2 things to show you, an Art Journal page and a card.

The devil image is a Rick St.dennis digi called Amulet and he can be found here, the background is a Gelli plate using Americana Acrylic paints by DecoArt ( colours used: Tomato red, Ocean Blue and Snow white)

The quote is from a song called "thanks for the memories"by the Fall Out Boys (I changed it a little bit to fit the page), I got the idea while I did my run, this was one of the sons on my running app. When I heard that part of the lyrics it made me think of Amulet LOL

Amulet was coloured using pencils

I will enter this in the following challenges:

31 days of halloween day 1

Yay!!!!, my favourite time of year, yes even better than Christmas LOL. The 31 days of Halloween (for details click linkie)  organized by Smeared and Smudged starts today.

Welcome to day 1 of the craziest bloghop I have ever seen (also the best one),  this is my 3rd year so I know how it works..........make project, post on time, hop and next day start over again. (O the blogroll is in my side bar and it's huge )

And I am also a Cryptkeeper in the countdown to Halloween, see the list of the other 192 participants here

This year I am prepared and have some projects ready and waiting, plan was to Art Journal my way through, but also wanted to do some stamping so I've got 2 projects for you today (no that's not standard for all days LOL)
Here my AJ page using a Rick St. Dennis digi called Autumn Nap , the background is a gelli print and the paints used are  Deco Art Americana acrylics in Red, Orange and Burnt Sienna. The letter are painted using  Deco Art Glamour Dust glitter paint , black Ice. The leaves are a foam stamp, stamped with Dazzling Metallics in glorious gold.
The bats are from a Deco Art stencil called "spooky".

and cause this mouse might be a bit too cute for some of you I thought to add another, a bit more spooky project.

 

As a bonus project I made a tag. I always handcut my tags that way I can make them as big as I need. I wanted to use Vanna Vampire, a RSD image in rubber, available at I Brake for Stamps and for us  Dutchies also available at Koffie Kaartje (contact shop to order, they are not visible in shop yet).

 

 Anyway I cut some black card to the size I wanted and embossed it using a cuttlebug embossing folder. Then I used Deco Art Metallic Lustres to create the matal look.  The colours used are black shimmer and silver spark. It's real easy to work with and the result is sooo awesome. First ad the black shimmer, I used a make up sponge for that, and carefully add the silver spark to the raised parts. Super easy....

 

 

O that's it for today, have fun hopping and leave some love along the way, see you tomorrow and remember the blogroll is in the sidebar
