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!!

Thanks for visiting with me, see you again on Dec 21!

Creepmas Tree!
an altered domino that could be a tree ornament, a magnet or a pendant, but it isn't...need another clue? Clue #1 was it's PRICKLY and #2 is its ROUND ;0)

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.

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.

All in a Tangle!
an altered domino that could be a tree ornament, a magnet or a pendant, but it isn't...guessed yet...giggle ;0)

My lil Grumpie got himself all tangled up in the tree lights while chasing Ho Ho Poe around the tree trying to get his Santa hat back! As you can see, he's very pleased he got his hat but he's really got himself in quite a pickle!

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 fairy light...yes, I just can't throw anything away LOL, a snowflake and added crystal Stickles glitter glue to his hat, the light's wire and the snowflake for some magic sparkle.

Day 3: Decorating the Tree!

Thank you for your compliments on my poor snowman with a headache, I truly appreciate your comments ;0)

Now for Day 3

Decorating the Tree!
an altered domino that could be a tree ornament, a magnet or a pendant, but it isn't...how about a little clue...nah, maybe next time....bwahahahahahah ;0)

The tree is up and decorated with all sorts of creepy ornaments and a pretty snowflake thrown in for good measure!

This domino is a combination of one of Tim Holtz - Stampers Anonymous ATC "Reindeer Games" Christmas collage rubber stamps and Smeared Ink's Creepmas Tree from the Gothic Christmas rubber stamp set. I stamped the Tim stamp 1st with red StazOn and coloured over the word "Christmas" with a red Sharpie marker. I'm really not a fan of this ink pad because its not a true red and comes out pink on dominoes so you'll see some pink in there. I then stamped the tree with Jet Black StazOn ink and after heat setting I coloured the skull and added some icy blue to areas of the background. 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, a snowflake and added crystal Stickles glitter glue for some magic sparkle.

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)

The TWIST this month is

My DT share is in celebration of Poe, the master of macabre....and yes, I do consider him a Creepy Creature LOL!
I made a "Poe Key....to unlock your dark side" using Smeared Ink's Poe and quote from the Quoth the Raven rubber set, a key and 2 altered Pairs in Pears game tiles. A really cool way to jazz up your boring keys!

To alter the game tiles I first applied Platinum Planet metallic silver Brilliance ink to the blank side of one and the letter side of the second, of course I chose P for Poe. I heat set the ink before stamping the image of Poe and the quote in black StazOn ink and heat set again. I then edged and coloured the sides and the opposite sides of each piece with DecoColor Liquid Silver paint pen and spray sealed them with Krylon Artists Workable Fixative and gloss sealer. I completed my project by sandwiching the key between the 2 tiles with E6000 adhesive.

Challenges entered:

"Bunny Blue" domino maget is to DYE for!

Happy April 1st to you all!
Today is the start of the new challenge over at Altered Eclectics and Bunny Blue is one of my DT shares for today! Altered Eclectic challenges start on the 1st of every month and are always Anything Goes but your projects must fit into the following criteria: Altered Art, Mixed Media projects, Upcycled, etc! NO standard paper projects like cards, ATCs and tags are allowed!

Isn't Bunny Blue the cutest altered domino you ever did see!? ;0)

You saw his beginnings on Friday March 27 when my new DominoART Challenge #12 "Dominoes to Dye for" started! We're playing with Easter Egg dye kits this month so click that link above to check it all out! Continue reading below the long collaged photo for more info on Bunny Blue!

For Bunny Blue's body I actually used the domino that looks more green on the left bottom row

and I also preferred it the other way round to the pic below too. I used Smeared Ink's Li'l Bunny Grumpie from the Occasions Li'l Grumpie rubber stamp set.

The bunny was stamped with jet black StazOn ink onto the domino after I had sealed the surface with a few light sprays of Krylon Artist's Workable Fixative. I stamped him again on heavy weight cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento ink, coloured with Copic markers and fussy cut out the big paws and the ears with the eyebrows attached. The parts were adhered to the domino with small dabs of Judikins Diamond glaze. I added white paint to his eye highlights with a toothpick and once dry I applied Vive Pearl Transparent Magic White dimensional paint to his eyes and for even more Easter Egg sparkly fun I added Crystal Stickles glitter glue to his ears, eyebrows, paws and a little dab on his little belly button. I added the round magnet to the back so he can liven up a fridge with his super cuteness!

But I didn't stop there! Stop by on Friday to see what else I did with Bunny Blue for my week 2 post of the "Dominoes to Dye for" challenge ;0)

Domino Hugs!
