19th Day of the 31Days of Halloween

To feel invisible...."se sentir transparent"'.

Actually the word is "le surtout" (coat) but this made me think of "The Invisible Man".

18th Day of the 31 Days of Halloween

An altered French/English flash card from the 60s! The trees and aviator witch are from Third Coast Rubber Stamps, and the Trick or Treat with pumpkin partial circle is from Cat's Life Press.

Edited with Adobe Photoshop Touch.



I had fun using a bunch of these for iHannahs mail art post card swap. Here's an example from that swap.




Here's the back of the flash card still needing embellishing.

16th Day of the 31 Days of Halloween

This started out as a Stampington Paperdoll Template, and as you can see I modified it just a bit. Ok a lot. Her head is from Artgirlz Rubber Stamps Faces, arms and legs from Artgirlz Rubber Stamps Bloom. Her bustier is actually a corner stamp from Inkadinkado. I just "eye balled" her shoulders, hat and skirt. She appears in a journal I am working in, and needs a bit more embellishment.

 

A few more quotes added to the fray.

 

Not so happy with the photo.

But this is a cool mask!

Third Coast Rubber Stamps

My first experiment with stamping on dominos. I learned alot about being patient to let things dry, ink will float when sprayed with a glossy finish, but added an interesting effect. Colored with copic and sharpie markers.

On the road....

11th Day of the 31 Days of Halloween

This is the beginning of a journal plage, I ate quite a few "Starbursts" and really like the little wrappers so I collage pagued them to a journal page. NOW what do I do. I've been hesitant to add anything to it, I just like the starburst wrappers. I stamped this little Hallowen Clown from Third Coast and colored her in with matching prismacolor pencils. She is just visiting the page, I haven't "adhered" her properly to the page. So I took her photo and added trick or treat from the Ransom App and discovered if you put a space in between each letter you could move the indivdual letters randomly around the page. ( is this cheating, I just can't bear to paste anything on top of my starburst wrappers.

Valery is next....http://www.thirdcoastcoterie.com/

Thanks for visiting, have a great day!

I'm scrambling to pack for a week in Florida ( hard to complain) so my post today is a little weird, tomorrow 's might be as well......from the road, and I don't want to drag in all of the supplies. But we'll arrive Friday evening,  a time to rest, catch up on stamping, walk on the beach and read a book or two!

10th Day of the 31 Days of Halloween

 

What is a Skeleton’s favorite song.

Bad to the Bone

One of my favorite stamping techniques is masking. You stamp an image on a piece of copy paper and cut it out. Then stamp the image on your project. Use the mask to cover the image and then stamp another image, the mask will protect a part of the first image. Confusing.....????


In the above photo, I started with "Who's There" from Third Coast , I made a mask of it, the trees and the skull, First stamping the door way, mask and stamp the trees ( Two Creepy Trees, Third Coast), mask the trees and the door and stamp skulls(Skull with splatters - Third Coast), and mask the skulls as needed.

And since I am hooked on my iPhone, I took a photo and ran it through several apps, finishing with WordFoto , an app in which you enter a phrase and then it applies the words to the photo.
