Don't look at the Eyes!

Here I am again for the inchie month over at SCD with the theme "Hallowe'en".....Yeh!

Did the trick or treaters come your way last night? We don't, as a rule, get many round our house but the bags were at the ready just in case!! In the end not one visitor........looks like we will be munching Haribo's for a while. LOL

Stamped the backgound with DI TD using a Cherry Pie harlequin stamp.........

added a T!m script stamp (barely visable) in Impress chocolate.........

stamped the Inkadinkadoo eye and coloured the eyeball with Adirondack cranberry.......

sponged a bit of DI SM over and hand wrote the word fragments.

"Don't look at the Eyes!"................

for anyone struggling to remember where they have heard the phrase before....................

comes from the film The Devil Rides Out........an all time classic Hammer Horror!......starring a very young Patrick Mower the fabulous Charles Grey and the deliciously spooky Christopher Lee who happened to be playing a goodie in this one instead of the Prince of Darkness for a change!

I read in the paper yesterday that he had been given a gong and is now Sir Christopher Lee.....

Congratulations!

Happy stamping

Face Off Part III !!!

I know.......I know.........I'm getting boring now!!! LOL

Here is Face Off part III in a hybrid version.

Stamped as in part II here and the digital alphabet images printed off, cut out and attached......

oooooooooh! Far too fiddley for an inchie size.

Thanks for stretching me this week SCD..............artistically speaking........although if I could gain a couple of extra "inchies" in height I'd be the ideal weight don't you know?!!! HOL

Thanks for looking and happy hybrid/digi/stamping.

Face Off Part II

I thought I'd post this to try to show how digitally making something can make it easier to then do the tactile version......well it does in my case!!!

Face Off for the challenge over at SCD was the totally digital version inchie here. if you want to take a look.

Then I made this tactile stamped inchie version. I knew I could do it if I tried!!!!

Aged the background for the skull stamp (my own) with my coffee mix coloured another piece of card with DI SM and WS..............cut both pieces in half and joined them together. Used a black pen to draw the doodling down the middle and the word off.......stamped the word FACE with my Studio G letters in Adirondack cranberry and doodled a bit with a white gel pen over the top.

Thanks for looking and happy stamping!

Face Off

Back to challenge myself again and explore the world of digital inchies!!!

Over at SCD they are still asking for inchies with the weeks theme being "Faces".

I thought I'd have a digi play for a change seeing as tactile inchies don't do a lot for me! LOL and came up with this. Now it is so easy to make anything you like fit on a one inch square.......... digitally speaking..............as you can reduce any image you have.......... however, I like the idea that on a tactile inchie it is very difficult to get full size images on there and inevitably they become chopped off at the edges....so tried to do something similar with this.

Have to keep going with Hallowe'en as a theme at the minute as I am in that sort of mood and have things ongoing stamping wise that I might share soon!

The skull is a Wikipedia file of a Da Vinci skull, Orange background my own, the doodling image by Katie Pertiet at Designer Digitals and the red letters that I think give it a bit of a Mexican Dia des los Muertos feel are something I got free years ago from I don't know where 'cos I did not keep track of stuff like that then!! So sorry.......if anyone knows please let me know then I can credit.

Thanks for looking.

It Is Written

I have to confess.........I am not a fan of inchies..............but if you don't challenge yourself how can you improve?

I've missed the first two inchie themes at SCD this month but here I am for the third one

"Black & White"........

Stamped the T!m script stamp in white and embossed with Winter Wonderland from Stamp & Stuff........Hand wrote the word fragments and stamped a pen nib from Artifact and cut out and attached.

To me...............there is so much symbolism wrapped up in this one inch square that

I can't begin to explain.....and in fact, did not realise it until I had scanned it and was preparing it in my Serif programme ready to upload to Blogger!

(I had actually started out making something based on Yin/Yang and somehow or other it turned into this!! :))

Lets just say that I have come to the conclusion that some things in life cannot be explained...........and just sometimes it takes an unexpected turn to which you can only say

"It Is Written"

Thanks for looking and happy stamping.

P.S. No....................I have not been on Who wants to be a Millionaire and neither have I won the lottery!! LOL :)
