DominoART Challenge #17

"Winter Wonderland"

Altered game art of any kind with a winter/Christmas theme!

I want to see what the theme "Winter Wonderland" means to you, whether it be a snowy woodland scene, snowmen, snowflakes or Jack Frost nipping at your nose!  You can alter any kind of game or game piece(s) for this challenge!  
5+ entries are required to win a DominoART prize!

For 4 or less, one entrant will win a Guest Designer spot on DominoART in a future Challenge and get a snazzy badge for their blog!

 For today's inspiration I'm sharing one of my altered domino ornament.

I used 4 travel sized ivory dominoes to create my ornament with 2 holes drilled through each one.  The image, small Winter Hearth Mice, is  stamp by Blockheads Paper Arts who are sadly no longer in business.

Now it's your turn, I can't wait to see your Winter Wonderland creations!

12 Days of Christmas
Domino Garland
by Leigh S-B
The Sharpie Domino Queen

click to enlarge

 I used travel sized cream coloured dominoes for my garland and drilled holes in the top of each one for the hanging cord.  The 12 Days of Christmas stamps are by Michelle Ward and they come mounted on 2 wooden cubes and are available at Stampington and Company.  The images were all stamped with black StazOn ink and coloured with various Sharpie markers.  Gold details were added with an ultra fine metallic gold paint pen and the edges and sides coloured with a metallic gold broad point paint pen.

Each domino was sealed with Judikins Diamond Glaze and the corresponding numbers for each domino are tiny metallic gold peel off stickers.  I made the garland from metallic silver cord and tied each domino onto it with gold cord and added metallic red, green and silver beads as spaces.

I hope you enjoyed my project and now off you hop to see my Merry Player's projects, click the links in the blog roll below!  Don't forget to pop back to hop onto Day 1 of 12 Days of Creepmas with Smeared and Smudged ;0)

Before you get on to voting here's my Day 24 creation :0)

Amethyst Snowflakes

The snowflakes are from the Stackable Tiles Christmas stamp set by Blockheads Paper Arts.
Stamped on the white standard sized domino with Jet Black StazOn and coloured with the following Sharpie markers in my signature 'The Sharpie Domino Queen' technique:  Ocean Blue, Sky Blue, Purple, Violet and Plum.  Metallic details added with a Silver Sharpie marker.  The sides of the domino are coloured with Violet DecoColor paint marker.  The back of the domino is covered with a piece of white cardstock embossed using an embossing folder by Cuttlebug, then coloured with Shaded Lilac and Tumbled Glass Distress Inks and adhered to the back with a coat of Judikins Diamond Glaze. 

The entire domino, front and back, was spritzed with Vanilla Smooch Spritz for lots of yummy sparkle (which you can see in the photo above).  Two metallic silver snowflake stickers by Stampendous were added to the centers of the stamped snowflakes.  The domino edges were wrapped with 1/4" ice blue/silver ribbon and adhered with red liner double sided tape.  Two silver jump rings were added to the top and bottom edges while adding the ribbon.  The silver snowflake charm was attached to the jump ring first so that the ring join could be hidden under the ribbon.  I added a purple Stampendous jewel sticker to the snowflake charm's center on the front and the back and embellished the ornament with a bow then added the silver swirl hanging hook.  

I hope you've enjoyed seeing my finale ornament and now it's time to vote!  The inlinkz collection is below. Good luck to my Merry Players :0)

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Day 23: UTEE Embossed Domino Ornament by Pam S!

Season's Greetings Dominoians!

It's Day 23 of
DominoART's 24 Days of Christmas

Pam S joins us again to share her stunning UTEE Embossed Domino Ornament!

Supplies Used:
Black Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel
Clear Embossing Ink
Black Staz-On Ink
Perfect Pearls - Metallic Green and Metallic Gold
Red GEO Dots
Background Rubber Stamp "Swirls"
Ball Chain

I used the Staz-On ink and inked the edges of the domino and set it used a heat gun.  I then used the clear embossing ink and covered the entire back of the domino ad poured the black UTEE onto that while wet.  I used the heat gun to melt the UTEE and, while hot, poured another layer on top of that.  I shook of the extra and heated it up again to melt.  I repeated one more time for a total of three layers.  I allowed it to cool before the next step.  Once cooled I stamped the black UTEE with the embossing ink once again and carefully applied some green and gold Perfect Pearls until the top was completely covered.  Then I heated the top up again allowing the UTEE to once again get molten and then used my background stamp and stamped onto the hot UTEE using pressure to get a deeply etched image.  I allowed the stamp to cool in place and then removed it.  Once cooled completely I added some tiny red GEO dots to smaller swirled areas of the design to give a more Christmas ornament feel.  I added the chain to the back and now I can hang it from my tree using an ornament hook or add it to a necklace for a holiday night out.  Merry Christmas one and all may God Bless you and your family this season.
See you tomorrow!
