DominoART Challenge #17 "Winter Wonderland"

TGIF Dominoians!
Oh My Ghoul, can you believe that it's November already and time for a new DominoART challenge!  DominoART's 31 Days of Halloween Scarefest in October was truly spooktacular, if you missed seeing all our the faBOOlous altered game art shared for 31days straight then sit back for a spell and check them out in the Inlinkz collection HERE!
  
Now for the winner of Challenge #16
4 faBOOlous projects were submitted in the GHOSTS challenge, thank you so much for playing with us :0)

The Winner of Challenge #16 is
IKE

 Congrats Ike, grab your winner's badge HTML code from my left sidebar for your blog to make and I'd love to have you as a DominoART Guest Designer soon!


Now for the November and December's challenge I know the holiday season is a crazy busy time for all so this challenge is for November and December and closes January 8 2016.  So that gives you lots of time to come and join the fun here whenever you get a spare moment to get some crafty me time in over the holidays :0)

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!

 My Wicked Players and I are still going strong in DominoART's 5th 31 DOH scarefest and this spooktacular blog hop brought to us by Smeared Ink!  If you've been hopping with us from the beginning then you arrived here via Sue and your next stop is Lost Coast Portal to Creativity.  It's not too late to join the fun if you just stopped by for the first time today, all the hop info can be found on Terra's blog.  There's lots of sponsor prizes to be won each and every day!  The Smeared Ink Blog Hop roll is over there in my right hand side bar if you'd like to join the fun! 


It's me again, Leigh S-B, and I'm back today to share another one of my altered domino coasters.  This time I've got a very colourful Day of the Dead coaster featuring one of Smeared Ink's Llorona rubber stamps and the border stamp from the Autumn's Pencil Zentangle inspired rubber stamp set I designed for Smeared Ink.

 Today is Smeared Ink Friday and the featured project is by me. Leigh S-B!
I've got a more adult Halloween treat box for you today coz it's got boobies on it... probably not quite suitable for the little kiddies!

It Breathed!
  Featuring Smeared Ink's Hallocutie - Frankie Girl digi!

POP QUIZ TIME!
Who can tell me why I used 2 Ace and 2 Eight Playing Cards for this project?
answer revealed tomorrow ;)

Frankie Stein is very proud of her eyeball collection! 
She is one of my fave Monster High dolls and this version of her is 17 inches tall, huge compared to the normal size of 12"! 
Treat Box filled to the brim with eyeballs!
Plus it's re-usable as a pen holder for your desk too!
a multi-tasker!
Supplies used
 Smeared Ink's Hallocutie - Frankie Girl digi!
Skellie body parts:  Letterbox Backgrounds rubber stamps
Scrabble tiles
1969 Crooked Playing Cards - scanned coz they're vintage!
Silver marblized dice
upcycled lid-less hotel toiletries box from my stash
Real book pages torn from a copy of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (Bendon Junior Classics) from Target's $ section
 white cardstock
Copics
metallic silver and blue Promarkers
metallic silver gel pen
metallic silver Sharpie
black StazOn ink
Distress Inks: Black Soot, Shaded Lilac, Tumbled Glass
metallic silver-blue eyelash fiber
flattened silver metal staples
Judikins Diamond Glaze
glue dots
Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive
Xyron permanent adhesive
Tim's paper distresser tool

I used the vintage Crooked Playing Cards coz they look like lightning bolts!  I just couldn't bring myself to use the real playing cards coz they're from 1969 and I only have the one set so I scanned them and some pages from the Frankenstein book.  I used 2 x Ace and 2 x Eight playing cards for my project, can you guess why?  I then Photoshoped the text and the SI Frankie Girl digi onto the playing cards in PS CS6.  Printed out, coloured with Copics, Promarkers and a silver gel pen.  The edges are distressed with Black Soot DI applied.  I added Judikins Diamond Glaze to Frankie's goggle eyes to make them shiny and 3D.
I dismanted the box, covered it inside and out with pages torn from the Frankenstein book.  Treated with Distress Ink Shaded Lilac and Tumbled Glass and lightning hand drawn with metallic silver and blue Promarkers.  Silver dice for feet.  To further enhance the feel of lightning I wrapped the silver-blue metallic fiber randomly around the box and secured the ends in the join when the box was re-assembled.

The scrabble tiles spell out "FRANKIE" and are stamped with SI's skeleton parts rubber stamp in black StazOn ink and the sides coloured with metallic silver Sharpie.  The playing cards were adhered to the box with glue and the scrabble tiles added with glue dots.  I embellished the cards with flattened real metal staples. 
Thank you for the wonderful comments you left for Terra yesterday and for hopping with us again today!

See you again tomorrow for Day 10 and have a faBOOlous weekend!

Additional photo for Sarah to see....this is me dressed as Frankie for Halloween 2014 ;0)
