"Bunny Blue" domino maget is to DYE for!

Happy April 1st to you all!
Today is the start of the new challenge over at Altered Eclectics and Bunny Blue is one of my DT shares for today!  Altered Eclectic challenges start on the 1st of every month and are always Anything Goes but your projects must fit into the following criteria: Altered Art, Mixed Media projects, Upcycled, etc!  NO standard paper projects like cards, ATCs and tags are allowed!

Isn't Bunny Blue the cutest altered domino you ever did see!? ;0)

You saw his beginnings on Friday March 27 when my new DominoART Challenge #12 "Dominoes to Dye for" started!  We're playing with Easter Egg dye kits this month so click that link above to check it all out!  Continue reading below the long collaged photo for more info on Bunny Blue!

  For Bunny Blue's body I actually used the domino that looks more green on the left bottom row

and I also preferred it the other way round to the pic below too.  I used Smeared Ink's Li'l Bunny Grumpie from the Occasions Li'l Grumpie rubber stamp set.

The bunny was stamped with jet black StazOn ink onto the domino after I had sealed the surface with a few light sprays of Krylon Artist's Workable Fixative.  I stamped him again on heavy weight cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento ink, coloured with Copic markers and fussy cut out the big paws and the ears with the eyebrows attached.  The parts were adhered to the domino with small dabs of Judikins Diamond glaze.  I added white paint to his eye highlights with a toothpick and once dry I applied Vive Pearl Transparent Magic White dimensional paint to his eyes and for even more Easter Egg sparkly fun I added Crystal Stickles glitter glue to his ears, eyebrows, paws and a little dab on his little belly button.  I added the round magnet to the back so he can liven up a fridge with his super cuteness!

But I didn't stop there!  Stop by on Friday to see what else I did with Bunny Blue for my week 2 post of the  "Dominoes to Dye for" challenge ;0)

DominoART Challenge #11: Harlequin Diamonds & Any Game Goes!

TGIF Dominoians!
It's time for DominoART's next challenge plus my project today is performing triple duty by giving you a preview of the new challenges starting in the next few days over on Lost Coaster's Review and Altered Eclectics too!  Continue reading for all the deets on all three challenges!

First up, DominoART's Challenge #10 unfortunately didn't have any entries, boo, but I know a few of you did intend to play but the snow has messed with a lot of your plans so lets hope Challenge #11 grabs your interest and the snow cooperates ;0)

DominoART Challenge #11 is
Harlequin Diamonds
and again is 
Any Game Goes!

I challenge you to incorporate the Harlequin Diamond pattern into any altered game piece(s) of your choice...that means dominoes, playing cards, jigsaw pieces, etc, all are fair game!

For your inspiration I've made an altered super-sized domino necklace featuring Lost Coast Designs Manga Goth Harlequin stamp and coloured with my fave medium, Sharpie markers!  I included her harlequin patterned stockinged legs on the sides of the domino and I also played around with glaze type and dimension by applying Judikins Diamond Glaze to the entire domino and then added the Harlequin Diamond pattern on the front with Inkssentials Matte Accents for some fun extra quirkiness!

The next challenge over at our Lost Coaster's Review blog is Use Some Red and officially starts on March 2nd!  My DT inspiration piece for the challenge has some touches of red in the self-adhesive red heart jewel on her necklace and the 3 jewel buttons on the front of her corset dress.  The dress is actually coloured with red too but glossy glaze turns red into orange once applied so that's just a little tip for you to remember for the future when colouring with red Sharpie!

The next challenge over at Altered Eclectics challenge blog starts on March 1st and our challenges are always Anything Goes and is only for altered art, of any kind, NO cards or ATCs etc!  So I hope everyone will come and play in all three challenges!
