Little Magic by Ching-Chou Kuik

Hi friends! I am sharing my latest Halloween DT inspirational card which I made for Ching-Chou Kuik's current Facebook challenge.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/chingchoukuikdigitalstamps

This darling image is "Little Magic", found here:

I made the broom by using part of a paintbrush and wrapped twine at the end of the brush. To flatten the twine a bit, I used a mixture of water and Mod Podge and brushed it on the twine.

I used Copics and Polychromos to colour the image. I cut the cobweb twice to give it some dimension and interest.

Ching-Chou also has a challenge blog. If you enter either challenge, or both, you may win some beautiful images.

I coloured this lovely image with a combination of Copics and FC Polychromos pencils. I applied Mod Podge (glossy) onto the spiders and used red nail polish for their eyes to make them look scary - LOL! Have a happy week. Hugs, Lori xx

Wynona Witch (with Cooking Pot Basket) by Conie Fong

Hi dear peeps! Today, I am happy to share my altered liquor bottle project, as DT for Conie Fong, which I made for Conie's monthly Facebook challenge. This month's theme is "Anything But a Card".

This darling image is "Wynona Witch", found here:

I love altering liquor bottles and this was so much fun to make. This is a long post, so here goes:

This is the bottle before I altered it:

After removing the labels and cleaning it with rubbing alcohol, I applied a coat of gesso. Then, I painted the entire bottle with orange acrylic paint. I lightly sponged red acrylic paint over the orange areas. Next, I sponged on some purple acrylic paint around the perimeters of each side. Once they were dry, I applied a coat of matte Mod Podge over the entire bottle to seal it.

Then, I added the image and the other die cuts around the bottle. The image is coloured with Copics and Polychromos pencils. I drew the background fence. Finally, I applied Mod Podge to the image and the die cuts. Here are more views:

The spider is raised with 3-D foam dots and I added Swarovski crystals for its eyes.

OK, now I'm done - LOL! Until next time. Hugs, Lori xx

Angel Wishes by Conie Fong

Hello, crafty friends! This month's Facebook theme over at Conie Fong's Art and Design Group is "Always Anything Goes" with an option of "Anything But a Card".
https://www.facebook.com/groups/396730687168777/

This is my DT inspirational project:

I started off with the cute wooden box that houses Brie cheese by President:

I coated the entire box with gesso. Then, I painted it with purple acrylic paint. Finally, I applied Mod Podge (matte finish) all over it to seal it.

I used the darling "Angel Wishes" image by Conie Fong, found here in her etsy shop:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/665388540/digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp-angel?ref=shop_home_active_8

I coloured this beautiful image with Copics and FC Polychromos pencils. I glued the patterned paper, the image and the frames onto the box and applied Mod Podge over them.

I wanted the lace (which was white) to match so I dyed it purple with Glimmer Mist, and glued it around the box. I lined the insides of the box (top and bottom) with white felt. Lastly, I added the flowers and other embellishments and, voila, my finished box!
