Day 16: Domino Goes Skiing by Sandra Y!

Season's Greetings Dominoians!

Welcome to Day 16 of  
DominoART's 24 Days of Christmas Festival! 
You guys are in for a real treat again today coz the amazing  Sandra Y is back to share another one of her jaw dropping domino creations :0)

First, the domino was stamped with the beautiful "sea bubble" from DesignsByRyn. I chose some green Stazon ink for the bottom, and some black Stazon for the top. Then the motives have been highlighted with markers (red) and gel pens (gold and white).

I glued two beads for the legs and a strip of cardstock for the arms. By chance, I found these funny beads (shaped hands and feet) in my daughter's bead box...thanks, honey :)  Finally, I glued a pink pompom, and two skis cut from a piece of cardstock.

The big pine tree on the left is a stamp from Inkadinkado. I inked it with both Shabby shutters and Pine needles distress inks, cut it out, then added some spots of textured paste for the snow.  The outdoor scene was stamped with a set from Vendible Stamps, and a row of pine trees from PSX.  The snow on the floor is made of Gesso and textured paste.

The “Joyeux Noël” stamp comes from Denim Tampons (a French company), and the snowflakes border was made with a Martha Steward punch.

See you again tomorrow for even more wonderful Christmas creations...DominoART style ;0)

Day 10: The North Pole by Sandra Y!

Season's Greetings Dominoians!

Welcome to DominoART's 24 Days of Christmas Festival! 
You guys are in for a real treat coz  Sandra Y joins us today for Day 10 to share another one of her unbelievably creative domino creations :0)

Santa Claus: I glued a half-nutshell on my domino, and I wrapped it with scraps of red tissue paper. The “secret” of this technique consists in adding some glue during the process, (like you'd do with  “papier maché”). Two pips of the domino figure are the eyes, the others are hidden with the nose (half bead), and the belt. The hands are parts of a Quickutz die-cut.  Eyebrows, fur on the costume and belt were made with textured paste.

Mrs Claus:  She was created following the same process.  I glued two half beads on her body - Yes, I know, I have exaggerated their size a bit, but it was by Santa’s explicit request ;D - and a little bead for the nose, painted with gesso first, then acrylic paint.  I wrapped her with scraps of red tissue paper to form the dress. The fur on the dress and the hair were made with textured paste. The “Makeup” was applied with a marker.

The penguin (my favorite):  A chess pawn was painted with black and white gesso.  I then glued the feet (punched leaves), the “nose” and one wing (scraps of cardstock).

 Surroundings: The North Pole sign is made of FIMO.  The outdoor scene was sponged with distress faded jean ink, and the penguins stamps come from Third Coast Rubber Stamps. The snow is made with textured paste.

Here's a closer look at the amazing details Sandra put into her North Pole creation!

See you again tomorrow for more Christmas DominoART creations!

Day 18 of 31 Days of Halloween - 'The Halloween Parade' by Sandra and Yohan!

 Hello Dominoians!

It's the 18th Day of Halloween today and boy are you guys in for a real treat!

Sandra is back to scare you with her absolutely spooktacular dominoes - they're all dressed up in Halloween costumes!  Sandra is a reader of the DominoART Blog and one of my fellow team mates on the Third Coast Creative Coterie design team!

Sandra created the skeleton, the zombie dog, the ghost and the black critter.  Her youngest son, Yohan who is 11 years old, created the angel-demon!  What a wonderful creepy collection of critters!

So sit back and enjoy their Halloween Parade of Critters!
 

The zombie-dog

Sandra glued 2 hollowed dominoes for the head and a third for the body.  The tongue, ears and tail are made of cardstock.  The eyes are two half-beads she colored with a red Promarker.   She added four long beads for the legs.  The dominoes were colored with alcohol inks.

The skeleton

She stamped a skull (from la compagnie des elfes) on a dice with Black StazOn ink.
Lost Coast skeleton rubber stamps were used to stamp the torso, arms and feet.  This little cutie even got it's own Trick or Treat bag made from scrap kraft paper and a piece of string which she decorated with a Jack O' lantern stamp (source unknown).

The ghost

Sandra punched a large circle out of a piece of white paper and made two 'eye' holes in one side and then draped the domino in it.  Two of the domino pips form the eyes for this adorable ghost.  The feet are two punched oak leaves.

The black Critter

Sandra wanted to create a hairy critter for this one.  So she partialy covered the domino with black fun flock.  Then she glued on stamped eyes which is a partial stamp from VivaLasVegas stamps.  The arms are twisted wire and the tentacles and the teeth are made from cardstock.  The feet are two punched oak leaves.

Yohan's little angel-demon

He first inked a domino with red alcohol inks. Then he added the mouth, feet, eyes which are made from cardstock.  He then double-punched a circle of golden cardstock for the halo and attached it with thin wire.

WOW!  That was an amazing parade!

Stay tuned for Day 19 to see what Charlotte F has cooked up in her cauldron for you!

Domino Hugs!
