"Dark Etchings" Domino Book for Rick St Dennis EDT!

Howzit Dominoians!
I'm super stoked to now be on the fabulous Rick St Dennis Elite Design Team!  Rick's images in both digi and rubber are simply stunning and there's a huge variety of imagery to suit every possible taste!  Check out all the digis in his Zibbet and Etsy stores and some real rubber is available Here!

This is my first EDT post for the Rick St Dennis Fans and Friends Facebook group.  February sees some changes regarding our challenges which you can read about HERE!  We also have 2 fun blogs for more EDT inspiration:
Airless Chambers and Sparkle and Glitter

 My project today is a Domino Book and is another addition to a series of "Dark Etchings" I've been having fun with for a while now.  I call them 'dark etchnings' because I create monochromatic black and gray pieces that remind me of inked etchings.  Previous ones were done with Black Soot Distress Ink on watercolour paper and this one is done with Copics and Sharpie markers.


The dominoes are stamped with black StazOn ink and coloured with gray and black Sharpies.  The edges and sides with the dots are coloured solid black.


 Here's the pages of the book.  The scene is a compilation of Rick St Dennis "Haunted Places #1" digis coloured with Copics in shades of gray.  Sadly the rubber is no longer available and the digis aren't up in the RSD stores so ask for the digis if you need them but this technique is well suited for lots of the images that are available!  Check out all the digis in the Zibbet and Etsy stores.

UPDATE:
Haunted Places is now available at the RSD Zibbet store here:  
https://www.zibbet.com/rick1949/haunted-places-one-digi-sheet


The edges of each page have Black Soot Distress Ink applied and the black background has a metallic silver edging which you can see in the photo below.


Here's the completed Domino Book with a black ribbon tied in a bow, the ribbon has silver wire wrapped around the ends.


 Thank you for visiting with me today!

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

Now for my Day 10 project!

Shocking Good Fun!
an altered domino that could be a tree ornament, a magnet or a pendant, but it isn't...Clue #1 was PRICKLY and clue #2 was it's ROUND...now for clue #3 it's BLACK ;0) Who can guess what I'm doing with all these dominoes?


I couldn't resist using my fave Grumpie again for this one!  I stamped the Smeared Ink Christmas Grumpie from the Occasions Grumpie rubber stamp set onto the white domino with jet black StazOn ink and after heat setting I coloured him with various Sharpie markers in my signature Sharpie Domino Queen style.  I edged the domino with a DecoColor metallic silver paint pen and coloured the sides too.  I finished off the piece with a gold metallic wired ribbon bow tied around an old Xmas fairy light, a snowflake and added crystal Stickles glitter glue to his hat, the light's wire 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!!

Today's altered domino features Smeared Ink's Creepmas Tree from the Gothic Christmas rubber stamp set as well as a single snowflake by All Night Media.  I created this one the same way as my previous 8 by stamping with black StazOn ink and coloured with Sharpies after heat setting.  I then edged the domino with a DecoColor metallic silver paint pen and coloured the sides too and finished off with a metallic gold wired ribbon bow, a snowflake and added crystal Stickles glitter glue for some magic sparkle.

Skellie Snowman!
an altered domino that could be a tree ornament, a magnet or a pendant, but it isn't...figured out what I'm up to yet? ;0)


I had you running for your lives from killer Snowmen on Day 7 but today's Skellie Snowman seems friendly, maybe!  I'd still BEWARE if I were you!

I had an absolute blast assembling this cutie!  I used two of Carmen's Veranda stamps to create my very own skellie snowman by stamping the head of the Snowman and then masking and stamping the skellie body from the Winged Skeleton.  I'm totally thrilled with how he turned out! 

Just like my previous 7 altered dominoes, I stamped with black StazOn ink, coloured with Sharpies after heat setting and 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 mother-of-pearl snowflake for a heart and added crystal Stickles glitter glue for some magic sparkle.

Fear the Walking Dead Snowmen!
an altered domino that could be a tree ornament, a magnet or a pendant, but it isn't...did yesterday's clue give the game away? ;0)


Eeeeeek!!!  It's a Snowman Apocalypse!  Run for your lives!  Daryl is doing his best to take out this killer snowman with a few well placed arrows!  These guys move faster than Zombies with all that ice around and he had difficulty getting a head shot.... but, will that stop a Snowman, do they have brains?

This scary snowman is another one from the Rick St Dennis rubber stamp set he designed for Smeared Ink (FYI:  the rubber is no longer available from SI though).  Just like my previous 6 altered dominoes, I stamped with black StazOn ink, coloured with Sharpies after heat setting and 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 for some magic sparkle.

Day 6: Skellie Reindeers Dream of Sugar Plum Snowflakes + DominoART Challenge Winter Wonderland reminder!

Now for my Day 6 project!
Happy Smeared Ink Friday and as it's Friday this is also my reminder post about DominoART's current Challenge - #17 Winter Wonderland, come and join the fun, Creepmas projects are totally welcome too!

Skellie Reindeers Dream of Sugar Plum Snowflakes!
an altered domino that could be a tree ornament, a magnet or a pendant, but it isn't...okay...how about a clue as to what I'm doing with these dominoes...it's PRICKLY teehee ;0)


Today's altered domino is a skellie reindeer skull dreaming happily about pink sugar plum snowflakes!
 For this one I did what I shall call reverse masking...I stamped Tim Holtz - Stampers Anonymous ATC "Reindeer Games" Christmas collage rubber stamp in red StazOn ink and directly over it I stamped Smeared Ink's skellie Reindeer from the Gothic Christmas rubber set.  I then carefully removed the parts of both images I didn't want with an old Marvy Le Plume colourless blender alcohol marker.  You can use a Copic one too, it doesn't damage the marker nib, just stains it whatever colour ink you're removing!  I then coloured with Sharpies after heat setting and 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 for some magic sparkle.

Blockheads' Naughty Christmas Mice - Wood Ornament featuring Sharpie Coloured Game Pieces by Leigh S-B!

Happy Friday Everyone!
Last week I shared my tradition of making Sharpie coloured porcelain Christmas tree ornaments on my blog and now I'm here today with another two-sided Christmas ornament but this one is a lazor-cut wooden one with a two sided Sharpie coloured game tile center piece!

I'm sharing the altered game tile part of this tutorial here on DominoART and if you'd like to see how I made the wood ornament too then please pop on over to Leigh S-B Designs for the full tutorial!


 The two naughty mice causing havoc on the Christmas tree from Blockheads Paper Arts' Figgy Pudding stamp sheet are the featured images on the Lexigo game tiles.  If you're crazy about altering game pieces like me then you're probably familiar with the Chekit game!  The cream coloured game tiles are now hard to come by so I was particularly excited to find the Lexigo game that has the same shape pieces but are just slightly smaller and have letters on the back instead of patterns!


 I used the following supplies to create this wonderfully fun but still elegant Christmas tree ornament!
I call this a Christmas tree ornament but you could totally hang this on a display stand as a featured ornament in your home too!

Day 14 of 31 Days of Halloween - 'One Spooky Evening' Square Domino Ornament by Leigh S-B

 Happy Day 14 of Halloween!

Today I'm sharing a hanging ornament I made from a Square Domino.  These dominoes are awesome game pieces coz they're double the width of a single standard sized domino.  But unfortunately the manufacturer of the Square doms has discontinued them so I apologize for getting you all excited if this is the first time you're seeing them!!  Booo!  Booo!  Booo to the people who used to make them!


SUPPLIES
Square Domino that you just might be lucky to find some where!
Rubber Stamp by PSX
Ancient Page dye ink pads:  Coal Black
Sharpie markers:  Yellow, Red, Orange, Purple, Brown
Silver Paint Pen
Judikins Diamond Glaze
Black Sharpie
Bat and pumpkin confetti
Black ribbon
Black fiber and cotton
Heat It embossing gun

For this project you're going to need a Square domino straight from the tin but if you can't get your hands on some then try playing with two dominoes glued together!  No surface preparation is needed because you're going to be using my 'Sharpie Domino Queen' Technique for all the colouring!  Stamp the image onto the domino with Coal Black Ancient Page dye ink and heat set.  Use Sharpies to colour in the entire design but use an extra-fine metallic silver paint pen on the moon.  Edge and colour the sides of the domino with a broad point metallic paint pen and seal the surface and the sides with a coat of Judikins Diamond Glaze.  While the glaze is drying cut a length of black fiber and a length of black cotton.  Thread the confetti bats and pumpkins onto the cotton and tie it onto the fiber at about the center mark.  Form a loop on one of the black fiber and tie a knot.  Apply a thin line of Diamond Glaze all around the sides of the domino and wrap the fiber around it.  Secure the other end at the top of the domino at the base of the loop with more glaze and let it dry.  Cut a length of black ribbon and tie a bow around the loop base and this will also help secure the glued end in place.

Want to see more of my 'Sharpie Domino Queen' Technique projects then check out my blog, Leigh S-B Designs too!

Stay tuned for Day 15 to see what Val S has cooked up in her cauldron for you!

Day 5 of 31 Days of Halloween - Goth Girl DominoART Necklace by Leigh S-B

Howzit Dominoians!

On the 5th Day of Halloween I'm here to share one of my DominoART Necklaces featuring my signature Sharpie Domino Queen Technique!


SUPPLIES
Standard White Domino
Sharpie Markers:  Black, Pomegranate and Slate Gray
G-S Hypo Cement Adhesive (look in the Other Glues section)
Jewelry Findings
Plaid Ribbon
Clear Swarovski Crystal

Stamp a portion of the Goth Girl onto the domino with Ancient Page Coal Black dye ink and heat set.


Apply colour with Sharpie markers using my 'Sharpie Domino Queen' technique. 
 For more info on my technique check out the following links:
 Check out my published article in Somerset Studio July/Aug 2003 issue, which is also up on my website Velvet Paw Creations.com.  I'm still busy re-designing my entire website but I'm getting there.  You can also see more of my technique via my blog's Project and Tutorials Index menu under


I sketched in a diamond pattern on her dress and then used Pomegranate and Black for her dress and the background and a combination of Black and Slate Gray for her hair, corset and gloves.


I hand drew a diamond design on all four sides of the domino and added gold dots with a fine point metallic gold paint pen.  I also added gold bling to her necklace, corset and ring as well.  I sealed all the surfaces with Judikins Diamond Glaze and attached a gold leaf shaped bail to the back of the domino with G-S Hypo Cement adhesive.  I finished off my DominoART pendant with a necklace made from plaid ribbon with a lobster claw clasp.


I also made a matching card and gift box which you can see on my blog, Leigh S-B Designs!



Stay tuned for Day 6 to see what Pat C has cooked up in her cauldron for you!

Domino Hugs!
