DICC: Day 15 of 31 Days

Hello again! Today I have not one, but 2 projects for Day 15 of the 31 Days of Halloween. Not only is there a new Desert Islands Crafters Challenge, but there is also a new Left of Center Challenge. Let's start off with DICC, shall we?


You'll have to check out the latest itinerary on the DICC Blog, but I'll tell you that I used #'s 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7. I colored this image from Oddball Art Co. with my Zig Clean Color Markers. I created the clouds with my Dreamweaver Stencils' Picasso Tool, along with some London Fog Memento Ink. 

My sentiment is from Stampendous, it's called Shadows, and I heat embossed it with VersaMark and Carnelian embossing powder. I also used 2 Fitted Frames to cut out the sentiment and mat it.


Now, on to Left of Center! We are sponsored by Sami Stamps, and the theme is Halloween. Perfect!

I used Web Veil for this card, and she was also colored with my Zig Clean Color Markers. My sentiment is from Tiddly Inks.

My background uses the exact same Kaleidacolor set from Imagine called Vineyard. A few of you asked me about how I had done it, so check out this video from the Imagine web site HERE. On top of my colored background, I stenciled the Spider Web with London Fog Memento. I sprinkled some Aged Wine Frantage embossing enamel.

That's it for me today. I'm off to have our 12th Annual Potluck. It's always a great time, so I'm really looking forward to it. Please be sure to visit the Desert Islands Crafters Challenge, Left of Center, and all of the Wicked Bloggers, listed in my side bar. Thanks for stopping by. Have a creeptastic day!

Christmas in July with Imagine Crafts & Stencil Girl!

Hello! Have you heard? The Imagine AIRs have been hopping with Stencil Girl! If you have been here before, you know I loooove me some stencils, so this collaboration was very exciting for me! The teams are hopping for 3 consecutive Saturdays, and this is week 2. I have the entire list of hop links at the bottom of the post. Be sure you don't miss anyone! I decided to to create an extra large gift tag with my new stencils. Using red cardstock, I taped down the Journal Texture #8 Stencil  and inked it up with Golden Glitz Delicata ink . I promise you, this is the BEST gold ink you will ever use! The Journal stamp only has 2 diamonds on it (it's a 4x4" stencil), so after I inked up the first pair, I moved over the stencil, lined it up, and inked again. Next I wanted to do something textural with the Urban Insiders Star . So I took some evergreen cardstock, taped down the star, and slathered on some yummy Iridescent Green Creative Medium . After the medium dried, I ga

Deco Art and Andy Skinner Hop

This is a very exciting week for the Stampendous team! We are hanging out with the ultra cool Deco Art Mixed Media team, each using each other's products to share some incredible creations with you. These companies go hand in hand, so using each other's products is easy. And the results are amazing. We are of course featuring Andy Skinner's stamps, who is the DecoArt International Education Coordinator.  And yup, there are prizes! But I want you to go to the Stampendous Blog for all of that info. The link is at the bottom of the post. Now, on to my project. I made a cool wall hanging today. I started off with a piece of MDF and I drilled 2 holes, and covered it with DecoArt's white Gesso. After it dried, I used Andy's Alcohol and Media fluid Acrylics Layering Technique. You can check out his how-to video HERE . Needless to say, it's a great technique, and I loved doing it. Once I finished with the aforementioned technique, I sealed the piece w

Changes

Greetings! I don't have a project to share with you today, but rather, an announcement. I have decided to completely revamp my blog, and move it to a new site. I've been blogging at 21st Century Pillow Book for over 10 years now, and it's been wonderful. But the "Pillow Book" aspect got lost somewhere along the way. If you don't know what that is, read my description in the blog header, or do a quick search. They are really very cool. Anyway, I thought it was due time for me to work on a new blog, more of a brand, etc. So, I invite you to now join me over at alisonheikkila.com . I've still got some polishing up to do, and a whole lot of learning, as WordPress is completely different from Blogger, but I am really excited for this new site. I've wanted to do this for a long time, and I am happy to finally be getting it done. Bear with me as I figure out the best way to make it all look and flow. I thankfully have some help with that. But I think you
