31 days of Halloween day 9

day 9 in the 31 days of Halloween, another card and video (here)

I used a stamp set called Monsterous by Tim Holtz/ Stampers Anonymous and the back gound stamp is by Joy craft and is called Wallpaper.

The Monster set is really cool, I have used it before in the Rolodex series on the card with the mummy. The images are fun to colour and you know I love coloring....

Tommorow I will also be in a Dia de Los Muertos video hop, so hoping you will watch that as well.

Digi used is one of the skulls form the skull sheet by Rick St.dennis, The skull rubber stamp in the background is from the Morte Set , also designed by Rick

The page came from my  Dutch to English dictionary I used in school, the paper was allready yellowed but I thought it needed some more aging. To make sure the paper would not bleed when using stamps, I added a few layers of Matte varnish. Stamped the corners using a spiderweb clear stamp

Added some more matte Varnish to protect the stamping and colouring and when dry I added the Crackle glaze.

 When Crackle glaze is dry rubb antiquing cream in the crackles and over the page, whipe back again when dry till you like the result and protect with matte varnish.

Gesso the canvas and the piece of carboard (I gesso both sides of the cardboard so it won't warp)

Paint the canvas Antique Linnen and let dry, make a wash of Traditional burnt umber and  water and age the canvas using a kitchen towel.

Paint the cardboard in Hauser Medium Green and Antique Mauve using a sponge. When paint is dry use the skulls from the morte stamp set to create the back ground. Next use the Industrial stamps by Stampendous to age the background and give it the same wash as the dictionary page.
Use Matte Varnish to protect it

Use the distressed Harlquin stencil on the canvas using the Deco Art Dazzling Metallic in Renaissance Brown, and  add some on the edges of the page and the charm.

dragons dream TIO challenge # 134

well it is Wednesday again it's  Trace's dream this time with this Dragons dreams  fortnights recipe. Thanks to everyone who has played along with this fortnights recipe , there have been some amazing creations....
So this weeks recipe, which has to be on a tag and use at least one real stamp is: Dress to impress.
The three ingredients are : a dress or dress form, embossed impression and some bling.

this is what I made:

 

the background or the tag are distress inks, red, yellow, green and then I used some background stamps, there is an heat embossed dressform in the background and the dies are the Tim Holtz dressform and the bird cage. there is also bling so I got everything covered for this one.....

 

hope to see you in the challenge

To Dye For new challenge at Dragons Dream TIO

This week at Dragons Dream TIO it's Sue's turn to provide a recipe and it is
- “To Dye for” -;Make a tag and use spray ink, die cut(s) and embossing (heat or dry) and use at least one real stamp.

My tag was a bit of a disaster to make, I had it all planned but it didn't turn out as it should.

First I made the background for which I used my DIY spray ink (mixed watercolour paint with water in a spraybottle) and so far it worked out great, I really liked how the background turned out. Then the problems started.
I stamped the Time Traveler using black Stazon and when I removed the stamp from the tag some of the spray ink flaked off the tag and the stamped image was not clear. That was the first problem.....

But I solved this by stamping the image again on vellum, cut the image out and glued it on the tag(over the failed stamped image) then stamped and heat embossed the words Time Traveller.

The tag still needed something extra, so I masked the Time Traveler and stamped the clocks using white Stazon and had the same problem...... the Stazon and my DIY spray ink didn't like each other and when I removed my stamp the spray ink flaked off the tag and the stamped image was not clear. To make the image more visible I used white embossing powder and I liked the result.

Now I only had to add some die cuts and decided to use the TH Gadget Gears and cut them out off metal tape covered cardstock. Because of the mettalic look of the gears I thought the tag had a futuristic feel about it and I thought it would be fun to put some glitter glue around the edges.......you can probably guess what happened......... the glue didn't want to come out of the bottle so I had to squeeze it a bit harder.......then the nozzle came off and half of the glitter glue bursted out of the bottle on to the tag............

Luckely I could remove the most of the glitter from the tag. Instead of ribbon I used wire to finish the tag and attached a light bulb to the wire.

Here it is..... drumroll......

Hope you like and come and join the challenge

I will enter these tag in the following challenges:

tim Holtz 12 tags of 2012 march

this is my version of the march tag, I don't have any of the stuff Tim used for the tag so I had to be a bit creative, see te result below

I used pieces of metal tape on the tag, I think it makes the tag look like real metal.

12 days of christmas day 10 and smudgy Antics challenge Gothic Christmas

This weeks challenge at Smudgy Antics has a christmas theme so I can cheat a bit and use my DT project as my day 10 of the 12 days of Christmas also :-). Anyway the theme is Gothic Christmas or Wicked Santa or Wicked Christmas, I chose the Gothic theme.

Here is my card:

I used Watchful Eye again he is one of my favourite Smeared Ink digi's I coloured the little fellow using my good old colouring pencils and some glitter gel pens. Then put him on some christmas paper and to give it a Gothic feel I cut out a black candle using my Cricut machine (31 oct. cartridge)and added some metal corners,red glitter roses and some black leaves.

I think it turned out fine, and send this as my christmas card to friends of us(Ronald & Christa hope you like it).
I hope you will come and play with us at Smudgy Antics Challenge Blog this week, there are a lot of themes to choose from .......

The blog roll of the other jolly bloggers is in my side bar, go and check their awesome projects out, you will love it.

Today I made one of the 12 tags of christmas by Tim Holtz that I missed, this is my version of tag 9.

Because I don't have the dies Tim used for this tag I used my Cricut to cut the lantern (mini monsters card) and the letters (happy hauntings card, spooky font.

And I made a birthday card for Rianne, she turned 14 and loves fashion and sewing, so I made her this (happy birthday Rianne!)

Hope you enjoyed this ( very long) post and see you again for day 11 of the 12 days of christmas on dec. 21.
