As Death Frame: Day 11 of 31 Days of Halloween

I have a frame to share with you today. I only used 1 color of paint, 5 stamps, 4 colors of ink and Amazing Glaze. And with just those supplies, I think the frame came out pretty cool!

As-Death-Frame-1

I really recommend clicking on any of the photos to see them bigger, as there’s a lot of detail in the stamps I used. I used 3 stamps from Smeared Ink’s As Death set, and 2 from their Holy City set. Can you spot them all?

As-Death-Frame-2

I obviously painted the frame in gray first. Then stamped all of my images in a black pigment ink (Color Box). I then embossed the entire frame with Judi Kins Amazing Glaze (love that stuff!).

Then I started to really play! I grabbed Fired Brick, Walnut Stain, and Vintage Photo Distress Ink, plus my Cut-N-Dry Nibs, and just rubbed color all over the frame. Then, I spritzed water on it to blend the colors together. Of course, the color doesn’t stick to where the embossing powder is, so the images are still visible. I repeated this step until I was satisfied, sans the water. Since the frame is made of wood, it not only maintains it’s dampness, but it also soaks the color up a bit…so I needed to go over some areas a few times.

As-Death-Frame-3

After the colors were saturated enough, I was done! It was a pretty simple frame, but I think it came out pretty cool!

As-Death-Frame-4

Mediterranean Dreams Shaker

Hello! Today I have a card that features the Mediterranean Dreams Subscription Kit from White Rose Crafts.  This fabulous Subscription Kit brings together sparkling, azure Mediterranean seas, sun-bleached shores and the rich colors of vibrant Mediterranean cultures in a carefully curated kit. I knew I just had to try the Jillibean Soup shaker card and I chose to use one of the stamps (from Kaisercraft) to make my background. I stamped the seashell with Tea Dye Distress Oxide all over the background of the card. Then I applied some Walnut Stain Distress Oxide to my craft mat, spritzed it with some water, and splattered it on to my card base. Last, I inked the edges with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide with a Mini Blending Brush. For my sentiment, I die cut a stitched rectangle from my stash, out of the pearly yellow cardstock that came in the kit and stamped it with "Wish You Were Here" stamp from the same "Summer Splash" stamp set, with StazOn Pigment ink. And ...

Echo Park Blog Hop with Imagine

Greetings! This is my second post for the day. This one is not part of the 31 Days of Halloween, but rather a super-duper blog hop that the Artists in Residence for Imagine are doing with Echo Park . So if you're here for my Day 7 project, please check out the post HERE . But before you do that, scroll on to check out this one. There are prizes up for grabs, so be sure to check out the Imagine Blog as well as the Echo Park Blogs for details. I created my background by applying Dandelion and Tangelo Memento Ink to my brayer. Then I sprayed it with Ink Potion No. 9 to help the colors blend and to act as an extender to keep the inks wet longer. After I rolled the colors out on to watercolor paper and let it dry, I stamped the lovely doily-like image from Echo Park's Simply Sweet Stamp Set with Grape Jelly Memento. I also received the super pretty Heart Doily Designer Die  which I used with a true purple cardstock. But it needed something....and in rolls the super fabul...
