Today starts a brand new challenge at our Dark Challenge Blog, Dream in Darkness, Challenge #3!

It is always anything goes as long as it is DARK....CREEPY....ALTERNATE......

Our amazing sponsor this month is IKE and her amazing images were given to the CT and to our fabulous FIRST Guest CT, Wendy!!! Please hope along and show some creepy good support to these awesome ladies!

Here we go!

I was given this fabulous image by Ike, "Goblin"


"Falling Apart" art tag :)

I printed the digital stamp several times. I colored using dollar store watercoloring pencils.

   

I started cutting pieces apart to layer and make him 'fall apart'. Even goblins have bad days...

I found a Ranger Melting Pot on clearance and could not pass it up! Soooooo everything got a shiny coat of UTEE....till I ran out of it!

The sentiment is a fabulous New Release stamp by Visible Image that arrived in the nick of time and I thought was sooo much better than what I had originally planned :) The tag background is covered in distress ink with more Visible Image Ink Splats, Drag & Drip and Plasma, heat embossed. 

Thanks so much for coming by today! Cannot wait to see what you make for our fabulous Challenge #3 sponsored by super IKE!

Rick st Dennis Facebook Group Tag Challenge~May 2015

DT Choice at Smudgy Antics! Thanks so much!

Hello!

Today I wanted to share a tag I made for an art tag Facebook challenge hosted by Rick st Dennis MFA.  The challenge is short and sweet, make a tag and include this sentiment, "Summer is Fine, but I am ready for Halloween". This is sooooo true, I love Halloween!

I used the digital stamp Lizzywhigs, which you can see HERE at his Zibbet shop. This was lots of fun, have been wanting to use this image from my stash for awhile.

This is also the first play I have had with my new DecoArt supplies, I received through the wonderful Blogger Outreach Program. I included some extra photos I did along the way to show some of the steps.

I used DecoArt Modeling paste on the Dreamweavers Jack-o-lanterns. It was very smooth and easy to apply with a palette knife.

I used some Zing Orange embossing powder and heat melted it once the paste was dry.

I love the slightly bumpy texture it made once heated, almost like a real pumpkin :)

 While the paste was drying I played with the misters to make the tag. I cut a manila folder down into the tag size I wanted. I misted the back of the tag with water so it would stay more flat while I sprayed the front.

I sprayed the Carbon Black, Primary Cyan, Purple and misted a bit with water to make it run. I applied some Shimmer Mister White onto before it was dry to get the nice clouding you see on the middle right.

The colors stayed pretty much as I saw them as sprayed, they really dried fairly fast on the manila tag. The best thing, once dry they are permanent! I added more Shimmer Mist White once it was dry for more 'stars'.

I printed the sentiment out using Photoshop Elements.  I used Distress Ink to color it a Halloween orange! Then cut it all up.

I used the Tim Holtz mini movers Halloween dies for the Bats, they are layered with pop up dots.

I love Lizzywhigs, she is colored using Sharpie Markers and Bic Mark It markers.

She is ready for Halloween, are you?

I love these new to me art supplies and had a lot of fun using them on this tag. I plan to keep playing :)
