Let's Dance

Good morning everyone!  I wanted to share a project I created for Skelli-Fest and give you a step-by-step on how I went about creating it.

1)  Stamp the Spiderweb background in Unicorn pigment ink onto your tag.  Emboss with either white or clear EP.  The goal is to protect the stamped image during the next step.
2)  Sprinkle on Nuance powder in Scarlet and Gray.  Spritz with water and dry.
3)  Remove EP by placing a sheet of typing paper over the tag and ironing until it's all been lifted.  Your iron needs to be hot and it may take several passes to get it all off.  I used two sheets of paper on before I got all the EP removed.
4)  Stamp Dancing Skeletons in black Versafine ink and emboss with black EP.
5)  Using the Old Typewrite Stamp Set, stamp "Let's Dance" with black Versafine ink and double emboss with black EP.
6)  Ink the edges with a black ink pad.
7)  Tie on a piece of black fiber.

You're done!  A fun, spooky tag that was a joy to create.

Well, that's it for now.  Stay tuned for more stamping fun!

Until later.....................

Two Skellies Dancing in the Moonlight

Hi, all! Nan popping in a bit late for the party but with two skellies who just had to come out for Skellie Fest anyway!  What a fab time and awesome skellies everywhere!  These two were so excited about the fest they got out under a golden moon and danced their little hearts out, literally!  They hail from Lost Coast Designs and are appropriately named "Dancing Skeletons".  I love these two and always have fun playing with them :)

Thanks for letting them have their moment in the moonlight even though the fest is over.  Please check out our challenge for June and our next event at the  Lost Coast Portal to Creativity so you won't miss out on any of the fun or chances to win wonderful stamps!

Happy Skeletons

This is a make from 31 Days of Halloween thought I would add them all here as I forgot to do it after they were posted on the Lost Coast to Creativity Designer Blog :(  This make is from Lost Coast Designs and is from the fabulous stamp called "Dancing Skeletons" and I love this stamp!  I must admit I adore every stamp in the line of Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda; they seem made for my quirky self!

I used the glossy photo with wet Distress Inks to make the background for the dancing skeletons...I think that technique is wonderful!  Thanks Lindsay!  The canvas/cardboard it is mounted on is embossed with the "Three Trees" background stamp from Carmen's Veranda and embossed with black embossing powder.  I used sprays from DecoArt and Lindy's lots of layering on a gesso base.  The wire fence is handmade and then a chipboard cat, skull, and pumpkin and some black cardstock skulls with some spiders round up the whole night time party!  And for a party, no disco ball to be found so some silver beads frame the happy skellies!

Make sure you don't miss a day visiting the Lost Coast Designs Portal to Creativity for wonderful chances to enter our challenges and events and our Facebook page has a challenge that will be up very soon so keep up with the news there, too.
