Dilly Beans Challenge Traditional Colors

Hello Lovelies, today I have for you a card I made for the newest Dilly Beans challenge Traditional Christmas colors.  As you all know if you saw any of my posts for 31 days I love this image from Dilly Beans..Dunce Cap Skellies.... and I said in one of those posts that I couldn't wait to play with this one for christmas as well!!! SOOOOOOO I did!  I took those dunce cap skellies and turned them into christmas skellies!!!  LOVE LOVE LOVE it!  I don't say that often about my own stuff but I love this card!!!  The words on the patterned paper and the skellies, it is quite simple but has great impact I think..... The patterned paper is from Teresa collins the Christmas Home collection....


 

A Very Merry Steampunk Holiday

Hello Lovelies,  today is super special for me... My friend and fellow APDT member Leslie Rahye has decided to have a Holiday Blog hop... What's special about this one, well it's steampunk of course.  We could do anything we liked with a steampunk theme so I decided to do a Snowman/Top Hat!!  Now my vision for this is to make a paper mache snowman to wear this hat!  No it's not done yet because I just thought of it so it's still a work in progress(the snowman) but the Hat is done.  I found these paper mache top hats at Michaels in October and snatched up a couple before they were gone.  Not really having any clue as to what I wanted to do with them then I heard about this blog hop and knew what one was going to be!!! I hope to be done with my snowman before christmas but if you have ever made your own paper mache items(big ones at that) then you know it takes a while to get them done. 

 
That key paper is tissue paper I got from Michael's it comes in a 5 pack... it's by recollections.  The band is some printed canvas also by recollections from Michales. 

 
The tiny gears are from Tim Holtz. The clear beads are dew drops.  They circle the band.

 
There is a double layers poinsetta with some greenery from the craft store as well.
 
 
Be sure to visit everyone and leave some love!!!  Cause everyone needs some love!!!

Day 4 of 12

Hello Lovelies, hope this day finds you all doing wonderfully!!!  Today I have to share with you a tag I made to put on one of the kidlings gifts!!!  As some of you know Grumpies are my most absolute favorite Smeared Ink images... don't know why, can't explain it, they are though!!!  So of course I had to make a tag with the holiday grumpy on it!!! 

He is sporting the only colored lights in my house... I colored him with my sakura glaze pens and sakura souffle pens then once completely dry I smeared the whole image with tea dye distress ink... The background tag is cut from some patterned paper.

I am not sure if the grumpies have a name, seems like at some point eons ago Terra and Tori had a name for one but I can't remember, anyway I have named this one Jingle and he shall be my Jingle and I shall love him and call him Jingle!!! (sorry, got finding Nemo on blu-ray and just had to channel Dori!!!)

12 Days Day 3

Hello Lovelies, today I have for you a card I made using a cute little image from of course Dilly Beans... I have no idea why I like these images so much right now but I do!!! Anyway I thought I would take this image and turn her into a cute little christmas card! 

I colored her with my prismacolor pencils and highlighted some spots with the sakura glaze pens.  Mounted her on turquoise card stock and used my sakura glaze pen to do the little edging on that and the card.  The patterned paper came from AC Moore last year and I can't remember the company...sorry... the words were printed from my computer and mounted onto turquoise card stock as well...

Special post for Domino lovers!!!

This year Leigh The Sharpie domino Queen is having her very first 24 days of Christmas!   In this she has asked for players to make domino art to share on her blog in the Christmas/winter theme of course... I was so happy to see this that I signed up for 3 days!!! 

I found some wooden dominos at goodwill with a circus theme to them and thought those would be awesome to alter as they are slightly larger than a regular domino. So here is the first of my 3 days. I used an image from Dilly beans made smaller of course, jewel tone beads some diamond stickles and sakura gelly pens and sakura glaze pens.  I used a image transfer technique to get the trees into the background then popped the snowman up in front of them.  These loveley little game pieces are sitting on my tree right now!!!

Day 2 of 12

Hello Lovelies, today I have for you another something I saw on Pintrest!!  You all know how I love that place!  Anyway it went perfectly with my love of snowflakes/men!!! So of course I headed to the $ store to pick up some supplies to make these and am in love!!!  UMMMM just so you know you can make 4 out of one pack so that makes them 25 cents each!!! 

What you need are clothes pins and hot glue... The rest is up to you... on this one I used some chipped sapphire distress stain on the snowflake.  Then I stamped my image on the wood with versamark and used my perfect pearls to make it shimmer, cause how can you have a snowflake without shimmer????  YOU CAN'T!! I made a paper rosette and then someone sent me a little envelope of goodies last year during a swap I was participating in and this lovely little snowflake was in there so I wanted to use it as well!!! 



This is the stamp I used on it... it's from Smeared Ink one of their Inky dreams images I believe.
 
I am entering this into the Smudgy Antics challenge this week!
