Day 7 - 31 Days

DAY 7 - 31 DAY OF HALLOWEEN 2014

Found a creep-licious tute on GOOGLE while looking for fun ideas for 31 Days.  This is great because you can reused old jars and only requires laminate paper, water (or not), and food coloring.


Of course there must be something stamped for our projects and had to get the hands a bit messy.  But when making preserved heads, that's bound to happen. 

Can full of Pickled Details

Started by washing jars.  Used both glass and plastic.

Googled "face map" and found two I liked.  Printed onto copy paper.  

Trimmed to height of each jar and then used laminate sheets on both sides.

Put into jars, adjusted bottoms to fold under and added doll hair to glass jar.

Filled with water and green food coloring.

Lids were both gone over with Black Gesso.  Lid on glass with doily I got impatient and so got black Gesso all over doily.  An added bonus I say!

Plastic lid has Copper Inka Gold Rub on it.


Glass Jar Lables

Back label is White Clay (SU!) stamped with stamp from Smeared Ink set called Morte (June 2013).

Gone over with to different inks.

Black Sharpie for words.

Top label is a doily stamped with stamp from Open Sea (SU!) and ink.

Eye sticker from stash in center. 

Plastic Jar Labels

Back labels are stickers, die letter, and gelli plate made paper stamped with stamp from Open Sea (SU!).

Words written with fine tip black Sharpie.

Top label is gelli plate made paper (with acrylic paints) and same stamp as above.

1 3/4" circle punch used.

Rotary stamp  with word "done" used with black ink.

Red Sharpie for check mark.

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

I am so sad that this Hop is over, but know that I can go back and look again at each of the three days at what creative and wonderful projects that were created.

You may have just seen Wendy's Poe inspired Bookmark.  If not, the blog roll is just above for you to start where you wish.  Next is Ike who as done wonders with a beast.

For today's project, Day 3, I was inspired by one of the Valentine Bloggers who is doing a spell theme and the idea of pulling petals from a flower to see if your crush loves you, or not.

This unique jar has a love spell upon it and will bestow its power unto any who seek love.
But as anyone of us knows, it comes with a price.

"If it's true love you seek,
then let thine heart be true.

Fill your mind and soul
with the beloved one.

Take care for only a single
chance you have.

For what is drawn,
the desired heart will obey
three score and no more.

Accept thy fate for
True Love's sake."

Fated Hearts

The Ill-fated Details

Hearts are from a past offering stamp set called Quoth The Raven (February 2013) from Smeared Ink Rubber Club.
Each is stamped with Versa Mark ink onto Whisper White card stock.
Black and Cherry Cobber Embossing Powders over stamped images.  Heat set with heat gun, then fussy cut.
I wrote "Thee Love Me" and "Thee Loves Me Not" on the back of each randomly.

Poem was made up by yours truly and written in Word.  Printed in red.
Torn on all sides and inked with ink pads.
Used Netting background stamp (SU!) and heart stamp with Sahara Sand ink for background.
Sewing pin to hold onto heart below. 

Jar was from stash probably bought at Walmart.

Used Martha Stewart Drippy Goo punch on Cajun Craze card stock, trimmed and adhered to inside edge of jar.

1/8" Black Taffeta and Cherry Cobber Seam Binding Ribbon tied around rim.

Skull head from stash.
Medium Rhinestone Jewels for eyes.  I am probably going to go back and color them in with red Sharpie.

Heart was hand cut from Cherry Cobbler card stock, scrunched and inked.
All materials used are current Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

THANK YOU EVERYONE
for such a wonderful 3 day Bloody Valentine Hop!!
