15 days of Half o ween

This is a piece for the 15 days of Half o ween, see the Domino Art blog for more info.

I have altered a giant chess piece (Tower), I  had this lying around for ages to "do something with it sometime", and it's perfect for the 15 days of half o ween, because we have to use game pieces.

I added all kinds of stuff, if you look close you will find all kinds of gamepieces
on it. There are dominos (1 altered with a Rick St. Dennis digi) and scrable tiles, tarot cards and a bingo number.

I blinged the chess piece up  a bit by using rhinestones and glitter tape, the Count draco digi is a Rick St. Dennis image and the Raven is also a RSD image. The vampires are not available anymore but there are a lot          
of other creepy images in the Crypt part of the Etsy.
The roses are made usingTim Holz and Marianne Design dies,  the tombstones is a TH die, and  the  pumpkins and the skellie are plastic.

GDT de Stempelwinkel; memories of Venice

this is the first of the "other than a card" projects, it's an altered tin, It used to have peppermints in it but now it turned into a little Venice shrine, all info about the stamp at de Stempelwinkel Design Team blog

The outside of the tin is aged using alcohol ink and crackle glossy accents, the inside hase some memories of our trip to Venice in it, some small pics, charms a stamp roses and candles

GDT de Stempelwinkel ; the looking glass

When I saw this stamp i just had to have it, beautiful and creepy at the same time. I really loved making this card, enjoyed the coloring very much. I hope you like the result. You can find all info on the Stempelwinkels design team blog.

Smeared and Smudged monthly blog hop "Anything Goes"

It't time again for Smeared and  Smudged monthly bloghop, theme is easy "anything goes"

I decided to make a tag and I got Tottingham Court Ghost to play with, I also used a lot of other stamps (mostly clear stamps) to create a background.

Everything is coloured using pencils and to give the tag a vintage feel, i used weathered wood and walnut stain distress ink and used the blending tool to rub the ink over the entire tag, then I spayed some water over the ink.

And I have another new Rick St Dennis MFA image to show you, she is called Moon Godess, and she is  coloured in Greys (no not 50 shades, I used 3 and a light blue lol). When she 

was all coloured and attached to the card I added holographic embossing powder on the moon the stars and  on the dress where the sparkle and glitter was drawn.

Although colouring this lovely lady was fun, I am always a bit intimidated by these gorgeous ladies, always a bit afraid I can't colour these ladies very well,  and the grey was also challenging, but I like the result a lot,it turned out a lot better than I was hoping for. (I just need lots of practice LOL)

Enjoy the rest of the hop, here the blogroll
