You may have just arrived from Wicked Blogger Kapree and are now here at Shoni/Crafty Inknik.  The next fabulous blog is Altered Pages.

This project will also be entered into the Challenge #11 - Anything Goes over at the blog A Step In The Dark.

The project I have today is an altered yo-yo.  The kids have carnivals at school and so I have collected some cute Halloween toys.  Now, we all know that cute is not quite the style I am going for this time of year, or anytime of year come to think of it!  So had to alter this sweet pumpkin yo-yo to an evil pumpkin yo-yo. 



Rockin' the Cradle w/ these Deets

Image is from Smeared Ink called Ghoulipop.  This image was a freebie for one of the days in last years Smudgefest.
Images was printed out 4 times and fussy cut.
2 images were colored in with Aqua Painter, inks and markers.

Eyes are medium sized Pearl Jewels gone over with Red Sharpie.
Finished images were then adhered to yo-yo with Red Sticky Strip and gone over with Crystal Effects.

Yo-yo edges were covered with White Gesso and let dry.
Washi Tape around to help give some color.
'halloween' saying is a stamp from Smeared Ink rubber set called Creepy Lil' Grumpies (Aug 2013).  You can find more rubber stamp sets in the Rubber Club Past Offerings.
Saying was stamped with Archival Ink Black around edges on both sides of yo-yo.
Crystal Effects also around and on each sides.

Black Twine for string.
All materials used are current Stampin' Up! (SU!) unless otherwise noted.

  2. Shoni, I love all altered art but would have never thought of a yo-yo! He is deliciously evil looking and so much work layering! And the coloring is fantastic as always. You nailed it girlfriend! :)

  5. This is so cool! I really admire your creativity--I NEVER would have thought of altering a yo-yo, but like all great ideas, now that I've seen it, it seems both inspired and inevitable!
