Final Week of Mysterious and Magical.............

Okay - so I last week I was confused........It was really week 4.  I'm trying to make time slow down and it isn't working (can you tell).   Anyway - Happy Halloween to all of my favorite ghouls out there! Today concludes our entire month of Magical and Mysterious, and your final opportunity to link your own creepy creations to the Dream It Up! blog for an opportunity to win the stencil of your choice!
 
This week I chose two of my favorite Halloween stencils.  First the Bat Trio LL525


 
 
Paste with Blue glossy paste, let dry.  Stencil with silver pigment ink, then cover with Black Soot Distress Powder, heat and cut out.
 
Then paste the Two jack-o-lanterns LL531 with Yellow Matte Paste, let dry.  Stencil color using pigment ink.
 
Edge card with Distress ink and a sponge, layer and tah-dah.................
 
 

Check out the rest of the team's creations, as well as our wonderful guest designer, Alison Heikkila (she really is a creative genius!!). Thanks so much, Alison, for joining us for Spooktober!

Mysterious and Magical - week three


I hope you are enjoying being spooked, mystified and magically transported to the land of Halloween and holidays? Hop on board the Dream Team train as we journey through all things Mysterious and Magical through the month of October. Our guest "engineer" is Miss Eerie herself, Alison Heikkila. October promises to be a very bumpy ride...
 
In honour of all the Halloween specials, I patterned this week after the Charlie Brown, Great Pumpkin tv special (one of my favorites!!).
 
Start with LL515 Pumpkins
 
Paste front with Yellow Matte Paste. Clean and flip, paste again with Yellow Matte Paste.
Stencil with pigment inks.  Cut out.


 
Then dry emboss LL3029 Dog and stencil color with pigment ink. (I flipped him before I embossed).  Cut out

'
 
Attach pumpkins with 3-d foam mounting tape.  One layer for the pumpkins over dog.  Double thick for the pumpkins on the left to make them appear closer.  Set dog over pumpkins to decide how much of him you want to appear above the pumpkins.  Cut off just below this mark.
Add double stick tape to back of dog and slip in behind pumpkins.

 
Make sure you check out the rest of group 2, to see what haunting ideas they have!!

Mysterious and Magical - Week Two


I hope you enjoyed the first week of being spooked, mystified and magically transported to the land of Halloween and holidays? Hop on board the Dream Team train as we journey through all things Mysterious and Magical through the month of October. Our guest "engineer" is Miss Eerie herself, Alison Heikkila. October promises to be a very bumpy ride...

I decided to go "Magical" this week.  Dreamweavers Stencil LG705 - The Unicorn always makes me think of magical, mythical fairy tales.  So does the upcoming TV show "Once upon a time in Wonderland".  Creepy good..................I digress............
 
LG 705 Unicorn
 
I used the double glitter technique for this one.  Generally you do the image in a dark glitter and the background in crystal glitter.  I decided to reverse it.  I used the crystal and pastel colors on the pony and the dark on the background.
 
I added a lite gold to the horn and hooves.  Then lite pink glitter to the mane and tail.
 
 
 
 
I can see him flying through the nite sky of my imagination!

Travel on to find more magical mysteries:
