HDH#189 and SoSS#8 Challenges

There are so many wonderful challenges going on right now!  I have entered my magnet into two challenges that you still have time to get your craft on and enter.

First is the Haunted Design House Macabre Monday Challenges.  This week we have Challenge #189 - Ripped to Ribbons.  Got to use those ribbons somewhere on your horroriffic creation.  THANK YOU DT for your outstanding inspiration!

Next, the sisterhood.  Oh these ladies are fabulous!  The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers are onto the next challenge.  Challenge #8 - C is for Crap.  WTF did I buy that for???  Yep, we all have said that one time or another.

On my base, besides the magnet, is a small bit off the ribbon I have purchased over the years.  Hence, WTF did I buy all that ribbon for???
Because I am a ribbon HOARDER.

In this project I believe that are are 10 - 12 different white/vanilla/natural ribbons.  That is not even close to the amount of rolls in that color scheme.  Then there are all the other colors...

Just as my guy says, "We all have demons.  I just choose to feed mine."

Image is by the awesome Rick St. Dennis called This Is For You.  You can find more images either on his Etsy shop or on Zibbit.
Printed out onto Vellum paper.
He is colored in with Blendabilities (new SU! alcohol markers), and markers.
I did fussy cut and edited out a little friend he had by his feet.
There is Crystal Effects over horns, eyes, teeth, hands, and "food" in the box.
He is adhered on to ribbon mat with red Sticky Strip.


Saying was randomly found and am not sure who it is by.
Wrote in black journaling pen on extra backing from a previous project.
Highlighted with white chalk marker.
Words are torn around edges and adhered with dimensionals to ribbon backing.

Smudgy Antics Color Challenge Week 1

 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN IS THE NEXT POST or click HERE.

 

Smudgy Antics has a new 2 week Color Challenge up.  There are some wonderful DT projects to get you started.  You must use at least 3 of the colors, which are: Dark Grey, Magenta, Dark Green, Black, and Dark Orange.

 I have used Dark Grey, Magenta, Black and Dark Orange for my magnet hang for this Smudgy Antic's Color Challenge.  Flash brightened it up a bit, IRL it is a little darker.

Silent Deets

Background

This is a 5" x 5" square piece of the card board that comes in the Stampin' Up! Designer Paper packs to help keep the paper from being bent.

I used Gumball Green ink pad directly onto backing to cover entire area.

"Rock wall" is cut up pieces of the left over rubber from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club stamp sets.  Adhered with Tombow glue. 

I added White Gesso over rubber pieces and let dry.

Very hard to see, but once Gesso was dry, I inked again with Tangerine Tango ink.

Then spritzed with a combo of Silver Smooch Spritz, Basic Black ink, and alcohol.  

Crystal Effects was put randomly through out the cracks.

Added some netting that was from a bag.

Fae Frog

Fea Frog is an image from Smeared Ink that was printed on Very Vanilla card stock. 

Color markers and Blender Pen used to color in.

White Gel Pen on winds to help pop wings.

Added black Sharpie to Pearl Jewels to give pop to the eyes.

Entire image was covered with Crystal Effects and fussy cut.

Flowers

Pansy Punch was used to punch out flowers from designer paper from stash.  

Each was spritzed with Cut Grass Dylusions Ink Spray and combo spritz from above.

Smaller flower is originally yellow and from stash. 

It is inked with Aqua Painter and Cajun Craze ink.

Eyeballs are from a bracelet that I disassembled for parts.

I used a Metallic Green Shapie for cornea.  Then a black Sharpie for eye center.

Each center then has Crystal Effects on it.

Flowers assembled and then adhered to front with Sticky Strip.

Saying

Saying is a piece of chipboard that was covered with Gesso.

Ink added with sponge.

Versa Mark ink over entire piece.  

Wild Wasabi Embossing Powder sprinkled over and heat set.

Saying from As Death (October 2012), Smeared Ink Rubber Club and stamped with Black Staze On.

Edges ink with Staze On.

Extra

Added some fun little critters with Crystal Effects.

Used magnetic strips on back.

Hard to tell, but piece is hanging up on my metal file tower.
