Ike's World Challenges Updates!

Last week totally got away from me.  I have 3 boys and they are all in Cub Scouts.  The Scouts celebrated Blue & Gold (Boy Scouts Birthday) and was super busy getting all things done for Friday.  Then had to rest a bit this weekend and back to the "normal weekly schedule".

So I missed a couple of posts that I wanted to get in last week.  First I have an amazing New Release Blog Hop for the digi set called Sea Life (12 piece set) done by some of my wonderful teamies over at Ike's World Challenges.

 

How awesome is this set?  Below will be a list of the projects dedicated to this new digi set that you can find at Ike's Art.

For Ike's World Challenges I have made a project that is what every Zombie wants...Pets!

Cleaning out the Cages and Deets

Pet shop was make with an old box that had the lid torn off and the inside of the box used to feature the images from Ike's Art called Zombie Pet Shop 1 and Zombie Pet Shop 2.  You can get each set separate or as a bundle!

Dylusions Ink Spray and Maya Mist Ink are sprayed to make the inside of the box.

Animal images were printed onto Whisper White card stock. 

All images were colored in with Blendabilties.

Inked up with Versa Mark Ink and then gone over with Clear Embossing Powder.  Heat set with gun.

Fussy cut and adhered with dimensionals to box.

Eyes on each animal are small Pearl Jewels. 

Shelves are from box lid, cut and then sprayed with Krylon Mirror Paint.

Pet Shop owner was printed off onto Whisper White card stock.

Colored in with Aqua Painter, inks, and Blendabilities.

Words are fine tip Black Sharpie.

All materials used are current Stampin' Up! (SU!) unless otherwise noted.

Unsightly Half Truth's of Details

Layout for this 12" x 12" page was inspired by the Very Sketchy Challenge over at the Smeared and Smudged Forum.

Designer paper is from Me & My Big Ideas.

Carpe Diem, from Ike's Art, was printed out onto Whisper White card stock two times.

I colored in image with markers and Blender Pen.  I also went over drawn lines with fine tip Sharpie to high light her beautiful facial features.

Rose was colored and fussy cut from a smaller print out I had done.  This was then placed with a dimensional over the larger printed rose, which was also colored around the edges.

Finger nails and dots along left side of head are Black Ranger Accents. 

Crystal Effects on rose with glitter sprinkled over.

Medium Jewel Rhinestone in center of eye.

Once Carpe Diem image was dry, I placed on Basic Black card stock and fussy cut around already cut image.

Wings are stamped in Black Staze On and from a Smeared Ink Rubber Club past offering stamp set called Quoth The Raven (February 2013).  I fussy cut and adhere to back of cut head.

Scallop die cuts used for the layers behind main Carpe Diem image.  A doily (SU!) was cut in half and placed on opposite sides behind scallop layers.

Background

Top left corner is a Scrap Paper Background Technique that I followed all the way through with both White and Black Gesso over designer paper strips.  I cut up and place at odd angles to give more texture.

Satin Black Ribbon (retired SU!) on the diagonal.

On the lower area of page, I sponged Cherry Cobble ink randomly around.

I had also made a coffee filter rose, which I dabbed White Gesso on and used it to make the white rose  prints randomly on page.

A ruler and Silver marker to make vertical lines randomly on page, and also thicker to make the 3 horizontal lines under saying.

Saying is written with black Sharpie.  I then went over words with Crystal Effects and sprinkled glitter over.

 All materials used are current Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.
