Day 17: Cat Candy Stalker Supersized Domino Necklace by Leigh S-B aka The Sharpie Domino Queen

Howzit Stamping Friends!

It's Day 17 of DominoART's 31 of Halloween and I'm back again to share another one of my Sharpie Domino Queen creations ;0)

Before I tell you about my project I want to remind everyone about some fun challenges I'm hosting!

Blockheads Paper Arts is the sponsor of DominoART's 31 Days of Halloween grand prize so here's a chance to grab even more spending money for Blockheads goodies ;0)  I'm hosting the Blockheads Paper Arts Technique Challenge this month which I called 'Precious Metals - A Compendium of Leafing Techniques'!  Pop on over for all the gorey details, but hurry the challenge ends Oct 21st!

I'm also the challenge coordinator for the Third Coast Challenge Blog!  TCCC#7 is the current challenge and the theme is Dark and Twisty - A Macabre Halloween!  Come and enter your darkest and scariest projects!  You must use at least one Third Coast stamp to be in the running for a $25 gift certificate!  Creep on over to the blog for all the gorey details! 

Now for my Day 17 creation!
Only 13 more scary sleepless nights in anticipation of the arrival of the spookiest night in October!  The streets will be over flowing with yummy candy....you know you love it....say that last part with a sing-song voice LOL!

Well, apparently cats love candy too and I've got an altered super-sized domino pendant to prove it ;0) 

Check out my Cat Candy Stalker pendant featuring a 2 stamp set by Third Coast Rubber Stamps called Scary Hairy Girl and Cat VB-321-P. 

I absolutely adore this set and couldn't resist stamping the kitty's face with those huge eyes multiple times all over the domino including the sides to tell the tale that Scary Hairy Girl has the creepiest of feelings that she's been stalked during her trick-or-treating!

First off, some of you have asked how large a super-sized domino actually is and they are 1.5 x 2.5  inches and not to be confused with the tins that say Jumbo on them!  Jumbo are standard sized at 1 x 2 inches.  I love working with super-sized doms coz you can obviously get more of the stamp image on them ;0)

The images were stamped onto the super-sized white domino with Jet Black StazOn ink and heat set.  Then I stamped portions of the kitty onto just the two long sides of the domino in the same manner.  I'm sure you can tell by now that I used my signature 'Sharpie Domino Queen' technique and coloured the entire image with the following Sharpie markers:
Cat's eyes:  Lime and Kiwi, Pumpkin and the girl's arms:  Leg Warmer Orange and Banana Clip Yellow, Panel on her clothes and Cat ears:  Jellie Pink, Her eyes and rest of her clothes:  Purple, Violet and lilac, Skin:  Almond, Cat fur:  Slate Grey and Earl Grey, Girl's Hair:  Brown. 

To seal the design I applied a coat of Judikins Diamond Glaze to the surface and sides.  Once dry I embellished the pendant with various sizes of clear self-adhesive rhinestones, two tiny ones on the front of the girl's dress and three on the top and bottom of the domino.

To make my altered domino into a pendant I adhered a sterling silver bail to the back with GS-Hypo cement and threaded it onto a purple velvet cord with a sterling silver lobster claw and jump ring to finish the necklace.

Day 16: Once Upon a Midnight Dreary - Domino Bookmark by Barb B

Greetings Wicked Bloggers!

We're now entering the second half of DominoART's 31 Days of Halloween and also Smeared and Smudge's spooktacular event too!  I hope you've been inspired and not too traumatized by all the horrifyingly good eye candy ;0)  The Smeared and Smudged blog hop roll is on DominoART's right hand sidebar and visit Terra's blog for all the gorey details!

Barb B joins us again today for Day 16 of 31 Days of Halloween with a hauntingly sinister Poe inspired bookmark featuring an altered domino tassel!  You might just be too scared to read but at least you've got a candle to keep the shadows at bay ;0)

Check out Barb's Raven Earrings on Day 9 if you missed them!

 This time around, I decided to celebrate Poe along with my love of reading and create a bookmark to denote where I've left off in my spooky reading.

The stamps I used for this are as follows:
Raven is by Meer Image
Branch is by Stampscapes
Lettering is Stampin' Up's Mini Alphabet
Candle is from Blockheads - An Illustrated Christmas

I began this project, using a light grey cardstock. I used a punch to create a mask where I wanted the moon. Then, using a sponge and various colors of Distress Inks, in a circular motion, I inked in the night sky. Using the sponge again, I edged the whole piece in black ink. Once done with that, I removed the mask and used Brushed Pewter Distress Stain to create the ring around the moon and a few dabs to make the moon look crater-y.

I stamped the branch in a dark brown ink. I then stamped the quote in black ink. I then used black craft ink to stamp the raven, sprinkled it with clear embossing powder and heat set it. This really makes the raven stand out! I used a gold metallic pen to draw the ring around the raven's eye. With that, the main portion of the book mark was done and I mounted it on purple cardstock, at the top of which I punched a hole for the twine to go through.

On to the domino!

For this, same as last week, I used a pre-drilled, plain, bamboo domino. (I apologize for being remiss in telling you where I found these last week. I got them from an Etsy shop that I found InkStainedRoni - she's got all kinds of cool stuff at great prices!) To begin, I stamped the candle using StazOn Jet Black Ink. I colored in the flame using a yellow/orange sharpie, then went over it again with a sparkly metallic yellow gel pen. I colored in the candle using a white gel pen. Then I colored in the candle stick using a metallic gold gel pen. Gel pens work great for this kind of thing with one caveat: they need a little extra drying time, so be careful not to smudge the ink!

Once I had my image colored in, I used a purple sharpie to shade in the background. I wanted to give it a kind of antique look and this is achieved so easily with a sharpie. If you do straight lines rather than dabbing the ink, it doesn't fully cover and gives it that aged, worn appearance.

With that, my domino was done and the only thing left to do was assemble everything. I chose a purple twine that closely matched the cardstock. I poked one end through the domino and secured the bottom of it by tying it around a bead. I pulled the knot and extra twine from the other side of the knot into the domino, snugging it with a good tug as I did. Then I thread and looped the twine through the bookmark. I brought it back down through the other hole in the domino, attached the other bead, and again pulled that side snug.

There I had a cool, spooky bookmark to use. All that was left was to dig out my E.A. Poe collection, make myself a hot toddy, and lose myself in some sublimely disquieting story.

Day 14: Lil Halloween Clown by BonnieBlueDenim

Howzit Bloggers!

  BonnieBlueDenim, who is one of my fellow Third Coast Creative Coterie design team members and also a Wicked Blogger in the Smeared and Smudged blog hop, joins us for
 Day 14 of 31 Days of Halloween
to share her truly fang-tastic altered domino creation that also includes a Bingo card and wooden letter dice!

I stamped the Third Coast Image VB-320 Lil Halloween Clown on a domino.  I made a medallion (I think that's what you call it) by sewing the edge of a piece of ribbon and tightening it into a circle by pulling the thread.  I colored the domino with copic and sharpie markers, and learned to let things dry, and that spraying too much glossy finish makes the ink float.  Live and Learn!  I adhered the domino to the ribbon medallion.  Then I devised a little display using bingo and some sort of spelling game cubes from my vast stash of fabulous treasures!  I think the medallion might be cute as a lapel pin if you applied a pin to the back.

Here's a closer look at the star of the freak show!

Day 13: Happy Halloween TagART by Monica G

 Hello Stamping Friends!

Hang in there my intrepid bloggers, not long to go until we reach the half way mark of DominoART's 31 Days of Halloween!

Monica G joins us for Day 13 to share her creepy and gloriously superstitious #13 Happy Halloween TagART creation!

Do you consider the number 13 lucky or unlucky?  Let us know in your comments :0)

In the words of Monica...I altered a Domino and a Rumikub tile for this one.  I used alcohol inks on my domino before stamping the spider web image from the My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Halloween clear stamp set.  I then hand drew the spider and added purple bling to the body, then coated the whole thing with Diamond Glaze.  I used Martha Stewart border stickers and epoxy stickers, she has a very nice "vintage feeling" line out this season and I was so pleased to see her new stuff.  I added a mini clock to my Rumikub tile from Gray Burlin, and used Elmer's Painter's marker to color in the number 13 and added Diamond Glaze over the top for some shine.  On my tag I used patterened scrapbook papers and washi tapes.  The "Happy Halloween" is a Martha Stewart die-cut and I used Stamping Up hardware to add ribbon to tthe top of the #8 size tag.

Here's a closer look at her two spooktacular altered game pieces!

In the words of Sandra...This year, my project's general guideline was to represent some ‘normal’ people, exposed to an abnormal panic

Because I love the watercolor paints finish, I have stamped my characters heads onto white regular paper, then embossed with black powder, cut out and glued them on dominoes. I then watercolored them, and glued my dominoes on stamped and cut off bodies.

The background was created with alcohol inks, then enhanced with various stencils, stamps and inks.

Stylized flames on background by Stampers anonymous

Characters:
1st : head is source unknown and the body by QKR Stampede

Day 11: Frankenstein Domino Necklace by Heidi Q

 Welcome Gothic Souls to
Day 11 of 31 Days of Halloween!

Heidi Q aka Crafty Q joins us today for with her freakishly cool Frankenstein domino necklace!  I'd scream 'RUN' if it wasn't too late coz he's seen you now bbbbbhhhaaaaaaaa!

In the words of Crafty Q....I've loved Frankenstein since I was a little girl (I think I was "Goth" before anyone knew what it meant!).  I imagine Frankenstein's bride wearing this pendant to keep her beloved close to her heart.

Supplies:
Domino
Ranger alcohol ink: Pitch Black, Slate, Meadow, Silver
Stamp by Viva Las Vegas Stamps
3M multipurpose transparency film
aluminum tape
Judikins Diamond Glaze
bolts
e6000 adhesive
small eye screw

Directions:
Drill a small hole on top of the domino and glue in a small eye screw.  Color domino with alcohol inks. The stamp was too big for a domino so I stamped it onto white card stock and scanned the image to my computer. Import the image into Word and make it the size to fit a domino and print onto the transparency film.  Cut the image out and glue it on the domino with Diamond Glaze; let dry.  Cut strips of aluminum tape to fit the edges of the domino with a slight overlap to the front and color the tape with alcohol inks to give a distressed look.  Glue bolts to the side and once dry color with alcohol inks.  Give a final coat of Diamond Glaze to the image area and once dry attach to a string or beads of ribbon of choice.
