Ike's World Challenges #35 DT Post

Ike's World Challenges is onto Challenge #35 - Things With Wings. 
Join in and enter your winged project to win!
Please see what the WEEK 2 projects are and get inspired.

For this challenge I have used many images from Ike's and you can find them at Ike's Art.  Ike is so nice that we, the DT, get some images that have not been released yet.  So do not fret, they may pop up in the store or can be a FREEBIE that Ike offers with each challenge.  Don't miss out!

Images you can find in the store on my scrapbook page are FACE ON, BOTTLE 4, and THOUGHTS.  Images that I have also used are Witches Cauldron and Not The Sistine Chapel Hands.

Bubbles of Details

Page is from Me & My Big Ideas.  Those witches crack me up!

All images were printed onto Whisper White card stock.
Each was fussy cut and pieced together.

Markers, inks, Aqua Painter, and Copics were used to color in images.
Gold Smooch was spritzed onto the swirl coming out of the cauldron.

Saying is from Macbeth by William Shakespeare:
    "Fillet of a fenny snake,
    In the caldron boil and bake;
    Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
    Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
    Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
    Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,—
    For a charm of powerful trouble,
    Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."

Words were redone in Word, printed out, cut out, and adhered to page.
Marker used to help define.

Ike's World Challenges DT project - The Wind

Only a few more days left to get in on Challenge #32 - Paper Piecing over at Ike's World Challenges.

I have made a scrapbook page for my Design Team inspiration project using THE WIND. 

Chilled Details

Image was printed onto copy paper and Whisper White card stock.

I used the copy paper to cut out the pieces of hair so that I could trace them onto the different designer papers. 

Desinger Papers are from a retired SU! set called Blueberry Crisp.

Once all the hair was in place and adhered down, I used inks, markers, and Aqua Painter to color in rest of the image.

Finished image was fussy cut and adhered onto 12" x 12" page.

Snowflake stamp from SU! set called Festive Flurry and Illuminate ink was used to randomly stamp snowflake on page.

Very Sketchy Scrapbook April S&S Challenge

The Smeared and Smudged Forum challenges are great for inspiration and making you try something that you not want to.  This scrapbook sketch for the Very Sketchy April challenge was a bit daunting.  There was a lot going on and was able to get the base done.  Until this past week I finally decided what I wanted to place on the page.

The first picture is the inspiration from the April Sketch.  The second picture is what the finished page looks like.

Quoth the Raven, Nevermore #31 and Oh! The Horror S&S Challenges

Oh! The Horror Challenge is this month is the 1961 movie The Pit and the Pendulum.  A movie based off the work by Edgar Allen Poe.

Unsightly Half Truth's of Details

Layout for this 12" x 12" page was inspired by the Very Sketchy Challenge over at the Smeared and Smudged Forum.

Designer paper is from Me & My Big Ideas.

Carpe Diem, from Ike's Art, was printed out onto Whisper White card stock two times.

I colored in image with markers and Blender Pen.  I also went over drawn lines with fine tip Sharpie to high light her beautiful facial features.

Rose was colored and fussy cut from a smaller print out I had done.  This was then placed with a dimensional over the larger printed rose, which was also colored around the edges.

Finger nails and dots along left side of head are Black Ranger Accents. 

Crystal Effects on rose with glitter sprinkled over.

Medium Jewel Rhinestone in center of eye.

Once Carpe Diem image was dry, I placed on Basic Black card stock and fussy cut around already cut image.

Wings are stamped in Black Staze On and from a Smeared Ink Rubber Club past offering stamp set called Quoth The Raven (February 2013).  I fussy cut and adhere to back of cut head.

Scallop die cuts used for the layers behind main Carpe Diem image.  A doily (SU!) was cut in half and placed on opposite sides behind scallop layers.

Background

Top left corner is a Scrap Paper Background Technique that I followed all the way through with both White and Black Gesso over designer paper strips.  I cut up and place at odd angles to give more texture.

Satin Black Ribbon (retired SU!) on the diagonal.

On the lower area of page, I sponged Cherry Cobble ink randomly around.

I had also made a coffee filter rose, which I dabbed White Gesso on and used it to make the white rose  prints randomly on page.

A ruler and Silver marker to make vertical lines randomly on page, and also thicker to make the 3 horizontal lines under saying.

Saying is written with black Sharpie.  I then went over words with Crystal Effects and sprinkled glitter over.

 All materials used are current Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

"Believe only half of what you see and nothing that you hear."
