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.

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 13!

Have Yourself a Joyful Creepmas!

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.

Skull Appreciation Day Blog Hop with Smeared and Smudged!

Howzit Dominoians!
Welcome to the 2nd of my blogs playing in this year's Skull Appreciation Day Blog Hop hosted by the fabulous Smeared and Smudged team!  Thanks so much for hopping with us today!

a peek at my entire S.A.D collection
Here's the blog roll to keep you going and if you stopped by here first then start the hop at the beginning on Black Dragon's blog, you do not want to miss all the fangtastic skullie eye candy being shared today!

 Here's my 2nd Smeared and Smudged DT project for today - an Amazonian Amulet found in the clutches of a doomed treasure hunter!
Doublecross Domino "Amazonian Amulet"
I used one of Smeared Ink's feathered skull rubber stamps from their Fringe set on this one.
I stamped the wooden Doublecross domino with black Archival Ink, heat set the image and then coloured the design with Sharpie markers in my signature Sharpie Domino Queen technique.  I then added a red and gold tear drop sticker jewel to the feathered head piece.  To complete the necklace I wired wrapped the domino a few times with thin black craft wire with the skull charm attached and added the bail by twisting the wire on one of the passes round.  The skull charm was silver toned so I coloured it with a brown Sharpie to give it a more aged gold tone and then added the brown suede cord necklace to complete the look.

Hop on over to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity to see 3 more of S.A.D projects and one of them is another domino ;0)  Today is also the start of our 1st Skellie-Fest event that runs through to June 18th with a $20 gift certificate to spend at Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda!
