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!

Day 18 of 31 Days of Halloween - 'The Halloween Parade' by Sandra and Yohan!

 Hello Dominoians!
It's the 18th Day of Halloween today and boy are you guys in for a real treat!

Sandra is back to scare you with her absolutely spooktacular dominoes - they're all dressed up in Halloween costumes!  Sandra is a reader of the DominoART Blog and one of my fellow team mates on the Third Coast Creative Coterie design team!

Sandra created the skeleton, the zombie dog, the ghost and the black critter.  Her youngest son, Yohan who is 11 years old, created the angel-demon!  What a wonderful creepy collection of critters!
So sit back and enjoy their Halloween Parade of Critters!
 

The zombie-dog
Sandra glued 2 hollowed dominoes for the head and a third for the body.  The tongue, ears and tail are made of cardstock.  The eyes are two half-beads she colored with a red Promarker.   She added four long beads for the legs.  The dominoes were colored with alcohol inks.

The skeleton
She stamped a skull (from la compagnie des elfes) on a dice with Black StazOn ink.
Lost Coast skeleton rubber stamps were used to stamp the torso, arms and feet.  This little cutie even got it's own Trick or Treat bag made from scrap kraft paper and a piece of string which she decorated with a Jack O' lantern stamp (source unknown).

The ghost
Sandra punched a large circle out of a piece of white paper and made two 'eye' holes in one side and then draped the domino in it.  Two of the domino pips form the eyes for this adorable ghost.  The feet are two punched oak leaves.

The black Critter
Sandra wanted to create a hairy critter for this one.  So she partialy covered the domino with black fun flock.  Then she glued on stamped eyes which is a partial stamp from VivaLasVegas stamps.  The arms are twisted wire and the tentacles and the teeth are made from cardstock.  The feet are two punched oak leaves.

Yohan's little angel-demon
He first inked a domino with red alcohol inks. Then he added the mouth, feet, eyes which are made from cardstock.  He then double-punched a circle of golden cardstock for the halo and attached it with thin wire.

WOW!  That was an amazing parade!

Stay tuned for Day 19 to see what Charlotte F has cooked up in her cauldron for you!

Day 15 of 31 Days of Halloween - Witchy Elegance by Val S

Howzit Stamping Friends!
Woohoo!  We're half way through our Spooktacular 31 Days of Halloween event!
I hope everyone is enjoying all the eye-candy!

Val S, moderator of the DominoART Yahoo Group and my Mom, is sharing this stunning Halloween card featuring an altered domino with you today!


 Val used white cardstock for her project and created the subtle background with a Big and Juicy Mountain Meadow ink pad.  The card is framed with Gold Mirror cardstock.  All the stamps are by Inkadinkado and she used Memento Tuxedo black to stamp all the images.  She used an orange Glaze Pen to colour in sections of the pumpkins and embellished with Amber gems.

Val got her 'Green' action on by recycling a beer can and used a Spellbinders Label die to cut out the metal mat for her domino.  She then coated the metal with Versamark ink and embossed with copper embossing powder and heat set with a heat gun.  She repeated this process 3 times to achieve that stunning copper metal finish.

Val used a standard white domino as the feature of her creation and altered it with Terracotta Adirondack Alcohol Inks.  She then stamped the witch with Ancient Page Coal Black ink and instead of heat setting the ink she embossed with clear embossing powder and sealed the domino with Judikins Diamond Glaze.  She embellished the domino with self-adhesive Amber gems and adhered the domino to the metal label with more Diamond Glaze.
Check out more of Val's creations on her new blog, Val S Craftings!

Stay tuned for Day 16 to see what Pilar F has cooked up in her cauldron for you!
