HDH and S&S Junk Funk July Challenges

Haunted Design House Macabre Monday Challenge is onto the end of its second week.  I have tried a couple of ideas, but did not work out.  SO I put it aside and moved on.  Then this morning was commenting on some blogs and was re-inspired by an HDH and my fellow Smeared Ink Design Team member.  Thanks Creepy Glowbugg!

The challenge is EERIE INSPIRATION.  There are 9 images that were given.
PLEASE go by and leave some love for the HDH DT's there is some amazing inspiration.

I am also placing my hang in the July Smeared and Smudged Forum Challenge, Junk Funk.  This month, NEWSPAPER must be used somewhere in your project.

HDH Challenge #182

Haunted Design House has a Macabre Monday Challenge that is up soon, sooo you better get your buns over there and join the freaky fun!

Challenge #182 is Frightening Fairies.  Remember these fairies are the opposite of Tinker Bell.  You need to check out the awesome projects done by the design team, outstanding!!  WEEK 1 and then WEEK 2 have such inspiration to get you going.

I have merged two of the wonderous Rick St. Dennis images to make my Frightening Fairy.  This fun and fancy free fairy is often misunderstood and so earns a page in my Ladies Art Journal, where I know she will feel right at home.

Mouth Full of Deets

The two Rick St. Dennis images are BUBBLE Bubble Toil and TROUBLE, and Summer Faerie.  Summer Faerie was a July 2013 Freebie on the Sparkle and Glitter blog.

I printed out each on Whisper White card stock.  Fussy cut the face from witch.  Used an Exacto knife along hair line of Summer Faerie.  Slipped other face in under cut hair line and adhered.  Waala...my Frightening Fairy.

She is colored in with markers and Blender Pen.  Fussy cut.
I did use a stamp from Stampotique Originals called Spider Wings by Daniel Torrente.  They are stamped with Black Staze On over her already printed ones.
Silver Details over wings to give some sparkle.

Background was made with acrylic paints and home made gelli plate.
Red beams with inks and Aqua Painter.
Cut Grass Dylusions Ink Spray in upper left corner with die from stash.

She is outlined with Black Sharpie.  Pen also used for hand written words.
Ranger Black Accents on teeth and eye centers.
Crystal Effects over face and yellow flowers on dress.
Dazzling Details on star on wand.
All materials used are current Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

Macabre Monday Challenge #180 - Fresh Blood.  Great way to start out the new year with some fresh blood.  Interpret this as you may, but it's got to be creepy, dark, and downright evil.  My kind of challenge!

31 DOH - Day 29

I can not believe it, Day 29!  You all are wonderful, thank you so much for hanging in there with us.  To start from the beginning, see daily winners, and for more info check out Terra's Blog.

You are now here at Shoni aka Crafty Inknik's and should have just left Roni's blog.  Jenn is next on the Wicked Blogger list, that is on your left if you just joined us.  Big shout out to Smeared Ink and the Smeared and Smudged Forum for hosting this 31 Days of Halloween event.  And a HUGE THANKS to all the Sponsors who have been so generous all month long.

One of those fabulous sponsors needs no introduction, Rick St. Dennis.  His wonderful, fun, and creative drawings are inspirations themselves.  I have used four images from a digi set called Aliens and Mutants.  When I first saw this set I wanted to make a Waterfall Card using some of these characters.  Finally got around to it!  So, X's & O's (kisses and hugs) to all of you from each of them.

Orbiting Details

Images were printed on to Neena paper.  Each was colored in with Copic's, and fussy cut.
Stamp with 'XOXO', Stampin' Up! set called Oh, Goodie!, was stamped onto Whisper White card stock (cs) with Basic Gray ink.  Ink pad with the four colors was pressed directly onto stamped squares.
Finished images were then adhered with dimensionals.
Crystal Effects used on each image to add more dimensions and other worldly shine.

Large background
Background stamp, Chevron (SU!) was inked with different colors.
I then used Basic Gray ink on one side of the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  I used the Kissing Technique of pressing the inked side of the folder onto the inked background stamp.  Then, I stamped onto my large Whisper White cs.
Different inks where then pressed onto stamped cs to fill in the white areas.

Basic Black cs used for card base, matte, and the pull/flip piece.
3 Basic Black Glitter Brads used.
Fibers from stash for pull end.
1" Circle punch to hold pull end fibers and brad.

In the last pic, I am going to write my message with the White Chalk marker.
All materials used are Stampin' Up! and are current unless otherwise noted. 
 

Nonsensical

Nothing like finishing a project just in time!  Today's post is an entry for three challenges.  One, from Smudgy Antics, is due today.  Next is for a Rock N Rolla Challenge on the Smeared and Smudged Forum.  The third is from The Altered Alice.
  Smudgy Antics - Alter a Box - "For this challenge we want to see more than just paper and glue.  We want to see dimension and lots of it."

Rock N Rolla May Challenge - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - DON'T COME AROUND HERE NO MORE

The Altered Alice - Chapter 27 - What A Wonderful Dream It Has Been

I decided to alter a Russell Stover's chocolate box.  It did hold 4 pieces of candy, which I promptly ate.  I had to clean out the box!  
I knew that I wanted to make a diorama of sorts.  The video of the song was Alice in Wonderland inspired as with the black, white, and red color scheme.
With the video and lots of dimension in mind, I created the inside and frame of box so that there is no right-side up or left-side down.   Enjoy...

Glitter & Bling Challenges

I like a little bling, a little glitter here and there.  So this project fits two challenges that are going on right now.

From Smudgy Antics - GLITTER and GORE
From Left of Center -  Bling It Up / Sparkle

Who could ask for such a fun challenge?  The Designer Teams at each blog have some superb projects that you must check out!  Get over there, find your creative bone, and join the challenges.

I tried to glitter it up without getting too out of hand.  I hope this is gorey enough, think I got the glitter and bling/sparkle part. 

So grab your beverage, relax, and pop some "eye" candy....

 THE BLOODY DETAILS....

This is an 8 1/2" x 8 1/2" scrapbook page.  Base is Basic Black card stock from Stampin' Up! (SU!)

I used Versa Mark and a hand print stamp from Smeared Ink Rubber Club, that is in a set called Prints offered in March Rubber Club.  I then heat embossed with Cherry Cobbler Embossing Powder (SU!).

I spritzed Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angles and Red Mulberry from Maya Mists onto Glitter paper along the top.  Then let the mists dribble down for effect.

Saying is written with Signo White Pen.  I spritzed finished page with Pink Pirouette Smooch Spritz.  There are rhinestone jewels in upper left and lower right corner.  I used a black Sharpie to make darker.

Appetizers are Rick St. Dennis from a digi called Zombie - Soft Centers.  I re-sized image to enlarge heart box (4" x 6") and then printed onto Neena paper.  Copics used to color in and then fussy cut.

I did use Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds glitter (SU!) on the eyeballs.  On the organs, I used a Versa Mark Pen and then heat embossed with Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder.

For the wine glass, I used Oval Framelits (SU!) to cut out the shapes on Vellum card stock.

I used Bravo Burgundy and Elegant Eggplant markers (SU!) to color in the blood.  Then smeared Crystal Effects over liquid and added Dazzling Diamonds.

Wine marker ring is a stamp from Inkadinkado from a set called Creepy Creatures Cling.  Copics to color, Crystal Effects with Dazzling Diamonds, and rhinestone jewels for eye centers on skull.

Fae Frog - Deadly

Freakin' Cool is what this challenge is!  Get a Free digital stamp and make anything you want with it, who could ask for more!  Get your buns over to the Smeared and Smudged Forum and sign up!

I am also going to enter this in the Haunted Design House Challenge 165, since the skin melting off my guy shows his bones.  The challenge is Skeletal Remains - anything relating to skeletal remains e.g. skulls, skeletons and bones etc.
While you are clicking around, check out all the great posts there and get ready for a new challenge Monday.

I do no know if any of you have seen a little TV show called Lost Girl, but it is all "FAE".  I kept wanting to do something along those lines, but ended up more along the lines of the TV show, Grimm.  This is an 8" x 8" scrapbook page from Aunt Marie's book...

The Gorey Deets

I printed out the Fae Frog onto shiny card stock, colored and cut out.  I used Crystal Effects on eyes.

I used a Rick St. Dennis DIGI stamp called "Let's have Brains", which I printed out on Very Vanilla card stock.  The bones were gone over with a Versa Mark Pen, then heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.  I then used an Aqua Painter and inks to color in, then cut out.

Poisonous secretion is Crystal Effects and Tangerine Tango re-inker, dried into drip shapes on a silicon mat.

I scrunched up some white tissue paper, then spritzed with Pink Pirouette Smooch Spritz and Mulberry Red Maya Mist to make the brains.

I sponged in the dirt, then used a stamp from a set called Clockworks (Stampin' Up!) to help add the darker sploches to make it look like dirt.

Trees are stamped with Early Espresso ink.  Tree stamp is by (c) Daniel Torrente from Stampotique, called Tree.

I used an Aqua Painter and inks to color in the background.

I adhered cut digi images and wrote in the words with a Sharpie pen.

My Wailing Tree

Junk Funk Challenge at Smear and Smudged this month is - Foil.  I just recently did a project with foil and wanted to create a 3D project to really show off all those cool textures that you get with foil.

THE DEETS

 

TREE
 I started scrunching the foil to the form that I wanted the tree to be.

Then added more foil at the bottom to make a thick trunk. 

I also kept this part of the tree pretty lose so that when I did add the faces at the bottom it would be easier to press them into the trunk.



I had to use folded squares to first form the face with a stylus, then I used Crystal Effects to help hold the faces in place once they were pressed into the trunk.  There are 9 faces around trunk.

Once the faces were in place and dry, I used a blue Sharpie to color in the eyes and mouth.

I finished twisting and forming the tree, then spritzed with Mulberry Red Maya Mist, and a concoction of acrylic paint (Burnt Umber) and alcohol.  The spirtzing really helped in showing all the grooves and cracks in the tree.

I added Crystal Effects to the faces to help define them a little more.

BANSHEE
My wailing beauty is from Rick St. Dennis, click HERE for link to her.

I printed out and did a mirror image as well because I wanted the project to be able to be seen from all sides.

She was colored in with Copic's, set with Crystal Effects, fussy cut, glued together, and places in the tree.




The last two photos are of two other angles so that you can see all limbs, faces, and her.

As I am writing this, the designer paper in the back really does not fit this.  Sorry!  It needs a good graveyard scene.
