Halloween project for Dragons Lair designs DT

This is a new way to scrapbook for me, part digital , but great fun and useful as you can

Add things before you print out and use :-)

I started out with a lime green 12x12 and distressed, inked and sprayed

With orange and purple smooch sprays

I printed put lots of flowers, you can 3d them by snipping as shown below

Then gluing the next petal over the snipped one . See below

In my local Tiger store I bought these beads in bottles, really cute eh? 

I poured in a dollop of glossy accents and then added the beads to make a 

Pretty centre to my flower. I also used the beads in the centre of my pretty moth.

I printed off an A4 piece of purple, cut in half and punched edges, placed as shown 

Overlapping with ribbon on the top for interest.

All of the above orange piece was done digitally (except Laura in the frame)

And then printed off so I was able to get the 'rain drops' over the blue and orange, plus the text in a vellum style. Laura in the frame printed out and 3d'd on top. 

I had some raindrops printed on vellum left over from my Halloween lantern project

So I used it over the witch topper with a BOO rub on

I finished off with lots of great embellishment from the Dragons Lair , bats

Flowers, lace and borders. A bit if real lace too. I hope you like it

This card is also for lovely friends who took us out to the Clos du marquis in Stockbridge yesterday
For Adrian's birthday treat :-) fabulous restaurant !

It's 2 x Gorjuss girls stamps on capsule background stripes.

I used the leaves and corner border from the stamp below, love

That one and use it lots

The stamp above is the one I used for the little girl, and stamped

Her in black memento ink

See above corner stamp used with brown memento 

And on the leaves I used artist pens to get my autumn leaves

I then coloured my image in with the same pen set, stamping the leaves again over tag 

To match the stamp below the tag on the corner.

As you can see above, I finished off with a Gorjuss girls ladybird brad, coloured with red 

And brown permanent markers to match, and added some red berries

I stamped some extra leaves from the stamp set around card, stamping some

On white card, cutting out and 3D- ing them on the card

Halloween lantern, launch, brand new kit

this is a sneek peek at the Halloween set of scrapbook/card making papers from the dragonslairdesigns shop here :- http://dragonslairdesigns.com/shop/

I used my Tim Holtz lantern die with the dragons lair papers.

I found some nice pale green vellum and printed off the golden raindrops

On it for the see through windows.

The witch and all the embellishments (except happy haunting) are from the dragons

Lair :-) I put a little battery operated candle inside too.

I found a frame with a mirror in a local bric-à-brac  type shop and decided that this was going to be used for my project

Its for my daughters shop  and I thought she would love to have her children's

Photos in there too.

It's Mixed media altered art , distressed and inked into submission ! I apologise that there is a photo of the side of my gate on the mirror side, really tricky to photograph a mirror with out getting me taking the photo in it ! And the glass on the photo side reflects. 

I took the glass and mirror out of the frame to begin my painting.

This is the left side painted in Fresco pumpkin soup acrylic & then I dry brushed

Some TH picket fence in places to lift it a bit.

The part with the photo frames, I used a much loved paint i have had for years called stewart gill Byzantine.To add some distress I Did some

dry brushing with Hey Pesto fresco paint.

I used a Tim Holtz technique to add texture by using one of his stencils with embossing paste in red

and some stamping with a black pad for more interest.

i added bakers twine, a Tim metal 'family tag' & a tiny cross as my daughter is religious.

the next was fun bit, i used metal to do the painted industrial technique, but i used 

distress inks as i wanted them to be like jewel colours. see below, great i think ! these are going on the sides of the mirror frame, this is the embossing folder i used on them before the inks

                               this is a photo below of the strips before paint was added

Below i have just added some close up details of all the additions , die cut TH tattered

flowers and leaves, French flight butterflies. 

                               one of the twins, Isaac 2yrs old looking cute in a vintage frame

          Maia , the eldest at 7 below , well away from the insects as she hate them, her mother has to
spray the bedroom with special moth spray before she goes to bed each night, (furniture polish !) hee hee

    Also see above the cute TH key lock over the little fan (Dragons Lair designs)

                    Below is little Eden Rose who is the other twin and very adorable too, not bothered about  the creepy crawlies near her photo.                                         

                                                          

 

And below is Florence who is 4 and is a pickle !
