His & Hers Gift Set - altered dominoes for Lost Coast Designs DT

Howzit Dominoians!

Our Lost Coast Designs/Carmen's Veranda December challenge, Board Game Pieces, has began over at Lost Coast Portal to Creativity!  

This challenge is totally up my alley and I had so many ideas I couldn't decide on just one project so I made 3 and created a His and Hers gift set!

A coaster for Him and a bracelet and necklace for Her!


The Coaster
I used Lost Coast Designs Calligraphy Doll in addition to touches of the scrolls from Carmen's Veranda Winged Skeleton


The Bracelet
I used Lost Coast Designs Lynnea from the Mini Flying Ladies stamp set.


The Necklace
I used Lost Coast Designs Art Doll from the Mini Flying Ladies set as well.

Day 5: Have Yourself a Joyful Creepmas!

Welcome back for Day 5 of


We are counting down to Christmas in Smeared Ink style with our annual 12 Days of Creepmas blog hop!  Stop by every 2nd day throughout December and hop your way through the Jolly Bloggers blog roll over there in my right sidebar.  You will want to stick around and feast your eyeballs on all the creeptastic Christmas themed projects!

Thank you so much for hopping with me and leaving me your lovely comments ;0)

Now for my Day 5 project!

Have Yourself a Joyful Creepmas!
an altered domino that could be a tree ornament, a magnet or a pendant, but it isn't...guessed yet...giggle ;0)


Today's altered domino is a skellie skull that has escaped the pile of bones to have himself a very Joyful Creepmas!  I really enjoy using portions of large stamps on my altered dominoes and this one is just a smidgen from the Carmen's Veranda Skulls and Bones background stamp.  I used a randomly torn piece of scrap paper as a mask and inked up the section I wanted to use with black StazOn, removed the paper and pressed the domino onto the stamp.  I then masked the stamped portion of the domino, inked up the JOY from the Lost Coast Designs Harmony Peace Joy Freedom Dictionary set with red StazOn ink and stamped the rest of the domino with it.  Like I mentioned before, this red is really pink so after heat setting I coloured with Sharpies and did the JOY in red and left the bit of pink showing.  I then edged the domino with a DecoColor metallic silver paint pen and coloured the sides too.  I finished off the piece with a metallic gold wired ribbon bow, a snowflake and added crystal Stickles glitter glue to the text and the snowflake for some magic sparkle.
Just a few more stops on the hop for you today, now off you go to Lady B!!

Thanks for visiting with me, see you again on Dec 11!

Day of the Dead Domino Trinket Box for Lost Coast Design DT!

Howzit Dominoians!
We are now on Day 7 and the finale of our Day of the Dead Celebrations over at Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!  Come join us and follow our blog if you haven't already!
We have some amazing DOTD projects entered in our contest so far!  Our contest closes tonight at midnight PST so hurry in your entries for the chance to win a $15 spending spree to LCD/CV!  Add them to the linky collection on my finale post HERE!

I'm sharing 2 projects today, an altered domino trinket box here and a fun mini tea light luminary on my LeighSBDesigns blog!

Day of the Dead Domino Trinket Box
I used the following Lost Coast Designs stamps - 3 large sugar skulls
Black Nose Sugar Skull, White Nose Sugar Skull,  Sugar Skull With Flower
 
 
I used 4 standard sized white dominoes to make my trinket box and a Lexicon hexagonal domino-like game piece for the lid.  I also used a large die as a lid stopper and dice beads as feet.  The sugar skulls were stamped onto the game pieces with black StazOn and coloured with Sharpie markers, specifically the Neon set of pink, orange, yellow and green combined with regular red and turquoise.  All the sides of the pieces are painted with shimmery teal nail polish, I LOVE using nail polish on my altered game art ;0)  The dominoes where adhered together with Judikins Diamond Glaze and to also adhere the die, on the lid and the feet after adding a cardboard base, and the skull bead and paper flower as the lid handle.  The entire trinket box was sealed after I took the photos (to avoid glossy glare) first with Krylon Artist's Workable Fixative and then Glossy sealer.

"Magic Bubbles" Domino Pendant - Circles Challenge at LCPtoC

Howzit Dominoians!
The new Lost Coast Portal to Creativity challenge started today, #15 is Circles.
Here's my DT share, I created an altered domino pendant using Lost Coast Designs Bubbles Border stamp.


I stamped the bubbles with black StazOn ink and coloured them with a combination of Bic pigment markers and tiny dashes of Alcohol Ink blending solution and the smaller bubbles are coloured with metallic Promarkers.  To give the pendant a huge dash of magic I applied Viva Pearl Magic Transparent White to every single dot for that fabulous dimensional sparkle!  I coloured the edges and sides of the domino with a metallic DecoColor Liquid Gold paint pen and adhered a pendant bail to the back with E6000 glue and hung the domino on a turquoise suede cord necklace.


Come and join us over at Lost Coast Portal to Creativity and Stay to Play!  See you there :0)

"Universal Language" Game ART Trinket Box - Lost Coast Portal to Creativity NUMBERS Challenge!

Howzit Dominioans!
Boy oh boy has Blogger being playing games today!  But looks like I managed to kick the gremlin out so here's my DT post for today!

I made this altered game art trinket box for our current Challenge - #13 Numbers over on our new Event Challenge Blog called Lost Coast Portal to Creativity!  Do stop by if you haven't yet because you're missing out on all our Grand Opening Celebrations with loads of prizes up for grabs!

I had a ball creating this piece and used the following Lost Coast Designs stamps:
 Time Flies, ATC Misc 7 Set and Numbers Border


  I used 4 standard size dominoes, a playing card, a real die and 4 dice beads to create this fun piece.
I coated the top surfaces of all 4 dominoes with Brilliance Pearlescent Cosmic Copper and a touch of Pearlescent Crimson Copper and heat set the ink.  I stamped two of the dominoes with different portions of the Time Flies image with the face and the other two with portions of the measuring tape ATC stamp.  I left the edges of the dominoes white and stamped those with the Numbers border stamp.  All stamping was done black Archival Ink and heat set before sealing with Judikins Diamond Glaze and then assembled.  I used a fancy playing card for clever little insert piece.  It's actually a very tall and narrow playing card which I had to cut down to size in the middle and re-attach.  I had hand wrote the Universal Language quote with black Sharpie marker on the card face and stamped more numbers on the back.  The large dice was a adhered to playing card insert and the dice bead added to the base once I added a base cut from black cardstock.


 Thank you for stopping by today and have a great weekend!

DominoART Challenge #14 Any Theme + Any Game Goes!

TGIF Dominoians!
Oh My Ghoul, can you believe that it's nearly June already and time for a new DominoART challenge, the months are just flying by!
 
First up, I received 4 fabulous entries for my #13 RAVENS challenge, thank you everyone for playing!  5+ entries are needed for a sponsored prize but I love all the entries submitted this month and would like to extend the invitation to be a DominoART Guest Designer in the near future to you all :0)  So ALL of YOU are WINNERS this month ;0)

Please Email Me and let me know if you're interested in doing a guest designer project!
You will also receive a Guest Designer Badge to display on your blog when your project is featured!

On to June!
DominoART Challenge #14
"Any Theme"
and is
ANY GAME GOES!
This challenge is wide open!  Make anything you want, altering any kind of game piece(s) with any theme!  What could be easier than that right, so I hope to see lots of fabulous entries ;0)
 5+ entries are required to win a DominoART prize!   For 4 entries or less I'm now offering Guest Designer spots to my fave projects and you get a snazzy badge for your blogs!

For today's inspiration I've created an altered domino necklace with a matching gift box made from real Domino Playing Cards and features stamps by Lost Coast Designs!  
This is also my finale project for DominoART's 15 Days of Terror Scarefest which you can see HERE!

The Watchful Raven
The mini Raven figurine is from my "Poe" Living Dead Doll
 Lost Coast Designs stamps:
Raven with Tree Branches
Tree Branches large background

The domino necklace
I used Brilliance metallic Silver from the Mineral tri-colour ink pad and Jet Black Archival Ink on the surface of the domino and heat set before stamping the Raven with black Archival ink and embellished the eye with a Stampendous sticker jewel.  You can't tell in the photos but the pendant has a wonderful metallic shimmer to it.  All 4 sides of the domino are stamped with portions of the Tree Branches background stamp.  I sealed the entire domino with Judikins Diamond Glaze after I took the photos (the glossy glare sometimes makes it hard to get a good photo).  The bail is actually a black dice bead with white dots.  I coloured the dots with black Sharpie and transformed the black dice into a silver one with a metallic silver Sharpie.  The dice bail was adhered to the top of the domino with E6000 glue and narrow black ribbon added to create the necklace.

The Domino Playing Cards gift box - click on the pic to enlarge
I made the matching gift box bottom and lid with two Domino Playing Cards and used Aleene's Box Maker board to score all the folds.  I then stamped them both with portions of the large Tree Branches stamp with black Archival Ink.  Notches were cut to create the flaps and the box parts assembled and adhered with Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive.  I added a length of the same narrow black ribbon around the sides of the box lid and embellished one end with a bow.  This was such a fun little gift set to make!

Hope you enjoy your visit to DominoART today and I look forward to seeing your challenge entries!

Week 3 of D'ART Challenge #11 + "50 Shades of GREEN" Blog Hop!

Happy Friday the 13th Dominoians!
WOW, I can't believe we're now entering the 3rd week of

DominoART Challenge #11
Harlequin Diamonds
and 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!

I'm back today to inspire you to join in DominoART's current challenge (link up HERE) as well as to encourage to you to participate in the Lost Coast Designs "50 Shades of GREEN" Reader's progressive blog hop that kicked off with a bang on Wednesday March 11th!  The blog hop roll is below my green and harlequin themed project today so get hopping and then make sure to read all the deets on how to participate over at Lost Coaster's Review!  Combine both themes in your altered game art and play in both events, how fun is that!!! ;0)

 "SWIM TO YOUR OWN TUNE"
Domino ATC

I used Lost Coast Designs "Manga Goth With Socks"
and the music stamp from ATC Misc 7 Set.


The domino I used is slightly thinner than a standard one and therefore not as heavy and this one was from my The Simpsons stash so had pix of the characters instead of pips.  the Manga girl was stamped with Jet Black StazOn and coloured with a combination of Sharpies, Alchohol Pens and metallic green details in shades of green.  The shoulder detailing on her dress look like octopus tentacles and her necklace is a sand dollar (which I covered with a tiny green pearlescent pearl) so I was inspired to create the sentiment with my vintage Dymo label maker on green tape and added the fish bead too.
 

The ATC is actually a scrap from my making my 3 ATCs I shared in the blog hop on Wednesday which you'll see when you start hopping or click here!  The background is a mish-mash of inks and I grunged it up even more by stenciling the harlequin diamond pattern in 2 sizes with Forest Moss Distress Ink.  I then stamped the LCD music ATC background in black Archival Ink and I used the same stencil to draw in the diamond pattern on the domino too.  I coloured the sides of the domino black and added the harlequin diamond washi tape (Recollections) to the sides and cut a strip in half to add some to the front too.  The domino is sealed with Judikins Diamond Glaze and adhered to the ATC with E6000.  The ATC edges were distressed and stained with a metallic green permanent marker.

This is the "50 Shades of GREEN" blog hop roll!

   
    

Have a great weekend!

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!

the stamp image is continued on all 4 sides with the harlequin patterned represented by her stockings

Have a great weekend and

"Tempus Fugit" Just Steampunk Vol 3 & Week 3 of DominoART Challenge 10!

TGIF Dominoians!
 Today I'm sharing an altered game art necklace that was published in Just Steampunk Vol 3 featuring Lost Coast Designs Steampunk stamp called "Time Flies"!
But first a quick reminder that we're now entering week 3 of DominoART's Challenge #10 Hearts plus Any Game Goes!  I look forward to seeing your altered game art created with any game you want with a Hearts theme ;0)


 I stamped portions of the Time Flies image onto a small domino and a Chekit game piece with Jet Black StazOn ink then heat set and coloured with Sharpies in my signature "Sharpie Domino Queen" technique.  Metallic gold detailing was added to both game pieces with a DecoColor fine point paint pen and also edged and colored the sides with a broad point paint pen.  Then Judikins Diamond Glaze was applied to the surface and sides of both game pieces.

I stamped the same image again with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored just the wings and legs with Copic markers and added gold to the buckles on the shoes with a metallic gold Promarker.  I fussy cut out the image and removed the legs from the body then colored the backs of the pieces black with a Copic marker.  I punched 1/16" holes with a hole punch at the top of the legs and the base of the body before applying Rock Candy Distress Crackle paint to the legs and the 'wings'.  Once the crackle paint was dry I applied Black Soot Distress Ink to enhance the cracks and buffed off the excess with a piece of paper towel.


I then adhered both game pieces to the body with Judikins Diamond Glaze making sure to add some on the sides where the two game pieces touch at the 'neck' of the doll.  Once secure I adhered a Tim Holtz Idea-ology metal gear over the face of the doll, a flattened antique gold screw head eyelet and antique gold and copper Tim Holtz Idea-ology clock hands to the game pieces with more JD Glaze.

The largest Sizzix Alterations Gadget Gear was die cut out from a sheet of Grungeboard board and I applied tarnished brass Metallic Distress Stain to both sides and sealed with a coat of Delta Ceramcoat matte varnish.  I punched a 1/16" hole into one of the spokes  and adhered the game art doll to the gear with JD Glaze.  Once dry I attached the legs to the body with brass jump rings and attached an antique gold chain with a lobster claw clasp to the gear with a larger jump ring and  embellished with a brass gear from SkyBluePink.com.
