Screwy Pals


I've been having some robot fun with the Screwloose N Sparky Perfectly Clear Set from Stampendous!  Not only are these great stamps for little boys, but for boys and girls of ALL ages!  Spectrum Noir markers were used to color the images so I will be submitting this to the Spectrum Noir March Challenge, stop by and take a look.

Paper with Tuxedo Black Memento ink, color with Spectrum Noir markers from Crafter's Companion USA. Colors used are greens CG3, CG4. Blues IB1, IB2, TB1 and BT7. Yellow GB5, CT1. Gray IG3, IG4, IG5.  Cut out and set aside.
2. Spray a manila tag with sprays, wild honey, fired brick Distress Sprays and sunset orange Adirondack spray.
3. Stamp background using one of the stamps from the Industrial set in black (due to it's popularity Stampendous and other online shops are sold out of this stamp set. As of Sunday, Addicted To Rubber Stamps had it in stock so I have provided the link!)

Trick or Treat Time!!


Okay, this is my first project using Spectrum Noir markers or ANY type of alcohol markers!!  I always use Prisma colored pencils with a blender pencil to get my blended shades but awhile back I got a full set of Spectrum Noirs from the wonderful Crafter's Companion! Now with the kids off to college and a short lull in designing, I have time to practice, yipee!  I know over time I will become much better :)

Here is how my cute card was made and of course all stamps are from Stampendous!

1.  Stamp Count Maxwell with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and color with Spectrum Noir markers TN1-TN7,GG1, GG4, OR1-OR3, LY1 CT3, PP1.

2.  Die Cut using Dreamweaver Stencils DD001 Nesting Frames, layer onto orange and black die cut pieces  using Beacon Adhesives 3 in 1 Glue. Remember a little goes a long way and don't put it to close to the edge, you don't want it to ooze out.

3.  Die cut a small fence from black paper (sorry, don't know where it came from) and glue to the bottom of Count Maxwell using Zig 2 Way glue marker.
4.  Stamp Trick or Treat from the Tricky Words set , color the same as above, die cut and layer.
5.  Stamp Damask Bats on the bottom half of decorative paper, add a web corner from Recollections, layer onto black and mount to and orange card.
6.  Glue Count Maxwell tot he center of the card with 3 in 1 glue and pop us sentiment with 3D Foam Squares from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.
7.  Now to tie in the purple web, add purple self adhesive rhinestones around the bats and on the fence.
