Day 12: Triple Treat 'Multi-Game" Ornaments by Black Dragon!

Happy Spooktacular Weekend to you all and welcome back for Day 12 of DominoART's 31 Days of Halloween Scarefest blog hop with Smeared and Smudged!

We are well into week 2 of our hexciting blog hop and you probably arrived here from Creepy Glowbugg but if you visited DominoART first and would like to start the hop from the beginning then got to Terra's blog, all the info about the daily Scavenger Hunt prizes can be found there as well!  The entire blog roll is over there on the right side bar if you get lost along the way!

Many of you have wondered who got who into stamping & that'll be me!  Bwahahaha, I'm the culprit who got both my Mom, Val S, and my Sister, Paula S-M, into rubber stamping and painting ceramics too ;0)  I'm so proud of them both and you're going to see one of Paula's creations later this month too!  

 

I'm so pleased you're enjoying DominoART's daily treats and thank you for all the love you're leaving my featured artists and I each and every day :0) 

Now for Day 12's project by one of my DTs, DominoARTist Black Dragon!

Day 27 of 31 Days of Halloween - 'Frankenstein' Mixed Media Creation by Betsy!

Howzit Stampers!

It's Day 27 of Halloween and Betsy, who is a member of our DominoART Yahoo Group, joins us today to share her freakish mixed media 'Frankenstein' collage!

Betsy altered the mini dominoes by adhering a gold napkin to them with a glue stick and also added a tiny bit of blue paint on some of the edges which you might be able to see in some spots if you click on the photo to enlarge it.  She then sealed the dominoes with Judikins Diamond Glaze.  She embellished the dominoes with red string which is thread used to sew luggage.

The Frankenstein image is a napkin (from ppd) glued on top of a collage from an old joke book, a 1956 library book with aged yellow paper which tears easily.

The "prepare yourself" in the monster's forehead was serendipitously part of the text from the book.

Betsy says her collage was placed on a large dark blue book.

Stay tuned for Day 28 coz Jennifer W is back to share another one of her cauldron concoctions!

Day 23 of 31 Days of Halloween - 'Mango The Wizard' Card featuring a Chekit Game Tile by Paula S-M

 Welcome to Day 23 of 31 Days of Halloween!

Paula S-M is my precious Sissypoo and also a moderator and active member of our DominoART Yahoo Group!  Paula is here today to share her spooktacular card creation that combines photography with an altered Chekit!

Paula used a photo of her stunning kitty, Mango, as the star of her mixed-media Halloween card.  She made a folded card from white cardstock and stamped the spiderweb (Inkadinkado) with Coal Black Ancient Page dye ink randomly to create the background.  She then distressed the edges of the card with Black Soot Distress Ink which she applied with an Ink Applicator.

She printed out a photo of her kitty and cut it out.  She then made a wizard's hat from black cardstock and edged it with a metallic gold paint pen.  She adhered the hat to the kitty with permanent adhesive tape and then adhered the entire panel to green cardstock which she then closely trimmed to follow the outline of the image.  She then adhered the panel to the folded card with permanent adhesive tape and embellished the hat with gold star stickers and a self-adhesive rhinestone.


She stamped the word 'Trick' (Inkadinkado) onto a Chekit game tile with Coal Black Ancient Page dye ink and heat set the ink with a heat gun.  She sealed the game piece with a coat of matte varnish.  Paula completed her card with two more rhinestones on the kitty.  Soooo cute!!!

Stay tuned for Day 24 to see what Jennifer W has cooked up in her cauldron for you!
