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!

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!

Domino Hugs!
