Oh So Spooky!

Coming soon to the Third Coast Challenge Blog!

You'll find a Halloween Challenge using the Bingo Grid shown below!

For my sample I chose Eyes/Fae ( Halloween Image)/Ribbon

 

The Third Coast featured creature is our little "Fraidy Cat" VB-323-N

The giant eyeball is from the Inkadinkado Mini Halloween Assortment 60-30739

 

Make a mask of the eyeball, so you easily stamp multiple eyes so that they appear layered. Stamp your Fraidy Cat in black, stamp assorted eyeballs, highlight a bit with orange gel pen. Layer onto Halloween Paper and again onto black card stock. Add a beribboned "oh so spooky.

Steampunk Christmas in July

FA-529-M Steam Train

WT-003-M Traveling Tessa

ES-192-L Snowy Pines

It's time to cool off and think about some snow! Third Coast Rubber Stamps just started a new challenge blog! July is "Deck Our Blog With Boughs of Holly!"

So, I've been experimenting with my new stash of stamps from TCRS. Lots of Steampunk coming your way, and I hope this has a holiday or winter feel to it. I'm learning to use "masks" to layer the stamped images to make a scene.

Begin by  stamping an image on scrap copy paper, cut it out, then stamp your image on your regular cardstock. Place your "mask" over the image and then stamp another stamp, make a mask of the new image, and continue to stamp additional images. I started with the girl, added the train, and the last image was the tree. The mask protects the image from the new stamp you add to your.

I layered my double masked girl on to a scrap of Daisy D designer paper, took a photo with the iphone and edited it through Photowizard, Picfx, and Impressions ( which adds the text). I email it to myself and sharpen it a bit more with Photoshop Elements.
