Elixir of Life

                    Good morning all I'm here with a tag for you. using VLVS. 

If you want to read how I made this, please come check it out over on the VLVS blog.

I'm Busy

 Hello all, I'm here with a card for you.

Stamps used:

Small skeleton

Manga goth with tophat

Magical shit 

As you can tell I have no tropical stamps. So, I chose to do tropical colors. I started off with the mop up of from the background I made for the start of this challenge.

                                                                 This card.☝☝☝

I then took Small skeleton and stamped it in orange pink and yellow on the front of the card. Next I used a star stencil and added some orange paper glaze to go around the skeleton. Set that aside to dry. 

On a scrap piece of cardstock I stamped Manga goth with tophat and colored her in with the same colors I used to stamp the Small skeleton in. I fussy cut her out. By that time the stars were dry so I added Manga goth with tophat to the middle of the card. 

Lastly I stamped Magical shit  saying on some white cardstock and cut it apart and added some foam tape to make it stand out a bit and attached it to the card.

I hope you join the challenge here

Stargazer Gnome

Hello all I'm over at the Lost Coast blog today. I have a fun card I want to share with you.

Stamps used:

Profile Gnome

Door and window set

Okay I have to spill the beans with this card. I didn't start out to make this card. I was trying to make my card for the start of the challenge. See card below.

           I tried embossing the dragon with gold and it just didn't look good so a tossed it.

So I made this one and it got me thinking I still could use parts from my messed up one so I tore the sides from piece and started with my stargazer gnome card.

 I colored the Profile Gnome with Copic markers cut out and set aside(to be honest I had him done when I first got the gnomes. I just had to color them all)

 So I just taped the ends that I saved from my first project to the ends of a white card front.

Next I took some paste and put it through a star stencil. I then added 3 different colors of Distress Glaze to the top. Set aside to let the paste dry when it was dry I embossed the glaze and you get what it looks like in the photo.

Added the Profile Gnome to the middle and there is my card.

 There is still the sale going on at Lost Coast and Carmen's Verenda.  25% off

Moonlight and Magic

Hello all I have some Moonlight and Magic for you today.  I have made 3 digital postcards.

Gecko Galz Supplies:
Moonlight Magic
Moonbeams
Scripted ATC
Timeless paper
Frightful Delightful kit
Midnight Magic

 For this one I started out with the Timeless paper and then I added  a image from Moonlight Magic and as I was doing this it gave me a feel of a vintage movie poster. So I added some beads on top and a movie ticket and advert.(well I think it is a advert) Next I added a pen with some ink scribbles and extra stars(because you can never have to many) Then  I added a moon from Frightful Delightful kit and a saying that fit for the piece and lastly I added a glittery border.

 Started off with a sky type background paper. Then I added a image from Moonlight Magic.  I picked one that blended in with the paper. With Moonlight Magic you have so many great choices to pick from. Next I took Scripted ATC and took away the background and just left the words and change the color to a light blue and added here and there. More stars is the next to the top and bottom corners. Then I took a banner and added the words from the Title of the Moonlight Magic to the banner.

 Last one I have done.  This one I wanted it to have a mixed media feel to it. With this one also I got a sky like paper to start. Then I took a image from Moonbeams.  Added my stars and then some circles and dots. I then added a image from Midnight Magic and the saying from Moonbeams.  Lastly I added a crow and feathers to the corner.

Come join the moonlight fun with your make here.

Bookmarks

Well today I have made some bookmarks for your viewing pleasure. 3 total I have made for Lost Coast Designs new challenge "mini me" anything smaller than a card. Well mine are longer than a card but definably smaller so they still count...

To start out I did the backgrounds all the same. The first 2 I used Distress inks and the smooching technique. The last one I used Distress Oxide inks and the smooching technique.   

The one above I used pinks and oranges colors in inks on white cardstock. Then I stamped Katzelkraft monsters all over the edges of the bookmark. Next I stamped the saying from Carmen's Veranda Currently Unsupervised   cut it down to just 2 words and glued it to the bookmark. When that was done I added it to some black cardstock to it. I did that to all 3 of my bookmarks. After I did that I laminated it. I also did this to all 3 of the bookmarks.  

 So for this on I used blues and greens of the inks. Next I stamped a small butterfly from the Bugz set. I felt it still needed more so I grabbed my number border stamp and stamped that randomly on it. As I said I did the same to all 3 of how I finished them.

Last one I did. This one I used the Distress Oxide inks for it. For this one I used another Katzelkraft stamp that Lost Coast Designs is selling. It is called Hanging branch cat. I stamped it at the top of the bookmark. Next I stamped the tree crown on the top of the bookmark to it looks like trees and leaves.

Then I grabbed a saying sticker and added to the bottom. Lastly I added some stars with a stencil and regular distress ink.

Day 30 of 31 days of Halloween

It started out as a box that had a pair of headphones in it.
Here is the front cover.

  Frist I covered the whole box with black gesso. Next I painted the whole box with black plaint that I mixed in some antique effect. (you can kinda see it in the next photo)

 I stamped the small skeleton on white paper. Tore around it and edged with brown ink. Added splashes of orange, brown and gray to skeleton. Added a rub-on. Raised it up with foam dots.  Distressed the edges of pattern paper and edged with the same brown ink. Then I added washi tape and layers of ephemera.

  On the side you need to open. I added the same distressed pattern paper and edged with the same brown ink. I used the rustic alphabet set. Stamped out OPEN and cut out and inked the sides with brown ink.

  On the other side I used the same paper and distressed it the same way and I took the small skeleton and just stamped the head 8 times and cut out and added it down the side.

 Back cover. Same paper, same distress. Added a large piece of  ephemera to the middle. I then stamped flying skull 3 times on white paper. Colored the skull with a cream colored marker and cut out. Glued in place. 


Inside.
I took some pattern paper and did the left side of the box. Edged with brown ink. For my scene inside the box I took a sheet of watercolor paper and cut it to fit in the inside of the box. I made the sky background using nuance powers. Once that was dry I took a stencil and added some stars with white ink. Next I stamped the small skeleton 2 times on scrap white paper. Fussy cut out one. Covered edge with black marker. glued him to back. Next I did some die cutting and made the grave yard scene.

 Last I fussy cut the hand and part of the arm and stuck it coming out of a grave.
Done.

Week number 4

Door is the theme. Doctor Who is the game.

I just loved how my background came out I had to that a photo of it before the door. Enjoy.
