Exotic 'Game Art' Trinket Box - "50 Shades of GREEN" Lost Coast Designs Readers Blog Hop Giveaway! Starts Today!

I'm super excited to be hosting
Lost Coast Designs very first
 Readers Progressive Blog Hop Giveaway!
the
 "50 Shades of GREEN"
 blog hop starts today on the Lost Coaster's Review blog and EVERYONE is invited to participate and be in the running to win a $20 gift certificate to spend at Lost Coast Designs!

Members of the Lost Coast Design Team kick off the hop today at 11am PST so pop on over, hop all the blogs in the Blog Hop roll Inlinkz collection, which you can also find below my project, get inspired and join the fun!  Link up your own Shades of GREEN projects from today through to March 30 and keep the blog hop rolling!

 Visit the Lost Coaster’s Review blog for all the info on how YOU can play and win!

The hop will close at NOON PST on March 30th and the winner announced on March 31st and some Honourable Mention blog badges are up for grabs too!

 I'm sharing 4 projects today, one here and the other over on LeighSBDesigns, to get you in the mood and inspire you to join the fun ;0)
 My mixed game piece trinket box features Lost Coast Designs medium and a portion of the large sized Owl from the Owl set and portions of the large Feathers rubber stamp.


 I used 4 standard sized white Dominoes for the sides, a Chekit game piece for the lid with a dice (or "die" which is grammatically correct for a single "dice") as the lid stopper!


The game pieces were all treated with Lettuce and Meadow Alcohol Inks and the images stamped with black Archival Ink.   Metallic green permanent ink was applied to the edges of all the game pieces and sealed with a coat of Judikins Diamond Glaze, except for the dice which was sealed with a few coats of Krylon Artist's Workable Fixative.


The beads I used for the lid handle and box feet were all coloured with metallic green permanet ink and the box base was cut from black cardstock.  All the box components were assembled with Judikins Diamond Glaze and E6000 adhesive.  Green pearlescent half pearls were added to complete the trinket box.


Thank you for hopping with me today, I hope I've inspired you to get out all your green supplies and join the fun by participating in our blog hop!  The blog hop roll Inlinkz collection is below!  So off you hop and see what fabulous Shades of Green projects await you!


   
    
 This hop is going to be so much fun,
are you excited to get stamping?

May the luck of the Leprechauns be with you!

      Thank you Bibiana! The hexagon game tile is a Chekit but the ivory ones are now very hard to find. Lexicon is a newer game with the same shape.

    This is fabulously creative! I love how you used the texture of the owl wing on the top lid of the box. That's a great stamp image to choose. Love it!

    OMG! I am running to all of the boxes of dominos that I have and using them to create with from here on out!! I used to play dominos (and could slap 'em down with the best of 'em!) LOL--but now, I'll be playing with them in a whole new way! Just WOW, Leigh! Just LOVE this beautiful little box--And LOOK! The beads you used as the box's feet--look like the owl's talons! Sooo cool!! Such a FUN hop and I'm now a new follower of yours! I can really get into the domino art! Happy Friday!! XOXO-Shari
