She’s Not a Woman…She’s a Fish

It’s time for a new Burtonesque Dolls challenge! This go ‘round, we want you to find the lighter side of Burton…and create a project based on the non-goth/creep/scary side. Up for the challenge??? Great! But first, tak a look see at my inspiration and creation.

 

And to coincide with this week’s Merkids release from Simply Betty, I used Suzi.

Isn’t Suzi pretty? Named after non other than Mrs. Weyremaster herself! She’s all colored up with markers. The big, beautiful tree is called October Tree, and it’s from Inkadinkado. I stamped it with a dark brown watercolor marker, then chalked over it to get my background colors. My quote is of course, from the movie. It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen it. But I do recall liking it, even though it is sad at the end.

 

Here’s a close up of Suzi. I Ice Stickled her tail. It is super sparkly! The entire Merkids collection is available now at the Simply Betty Stamps Shop. And please be sure to visit The Burtonesque Dolls for more awesome projects, and your opportunity to play along with this fun, new challenge. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Alison, this is insanely awesome! I forgot that Big Fish was a TB film. Maybe because JD wasn't in it...LOL! But I remember liking it, too! Fab take on the movie poster. I love your little mermaid, she is magnificent! Especially that glittery tail! Hugz, Cheryl
Cute take on the theme. I didn't realize Big Fish was Tim Burton film.

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...

Deco Art and Andy Skinner Blog Hop Finale

Hello! It's time for the finale of the DecoArt and Stampendous blog hop. Have you enjoyed yourself this week? I bet you've got some new techniques that you want to try. I know I do! I am super stoked about my project for today. And it solves a dilemma that we've had in my kids' room for a while. What you see above is 2 pieces of PVC. And some fab DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics ! So, what am I doing with PVC, you ask? Well, my mom bought my son a light saber(Darth Vader's) for Christmas, and he wanted to display it, but we weren't really sure where in his room, and how. I wanted something cooler than hooks, and we thought it would be neat to have the light saber vertical, instead of horizontal. Plus, there was a fab spot for it if it hung in that direction. So, my husband came up with the PVC pip idea, and I altered the pieces. The end cap holds the base, and the small piece of pipe holds up near the end. And the 2 pieces are spaced out enough so that...
