Swirlydoos Dec Challenge Number ONE

I did this layout for the December SGC Winter White +1

I built it on an acrylic base and went from there! Fancy Pants Road Show papers and Basic Grey basics, Creative Imaginations snowflakes and Prima flowers.

I covered the snowflakes with Distress Crackle Paint in Rock Candy then coated them in Diamond Dust then used Glimmer Mist in Lily Pad on top of that.

I did a new technique on the Fragments. I used clear Embossing ink and stamped a snowflake on the pieces, then I used white embossing powder and heated the fragments. While heating, the fragments melted and look like ice cubes!

I also used clear embossing powder with the clear ink on the top right and I highlighted them with clear crystals.

Thanks for looking!

Alcohol Ink and Grungepaper

So, I wanted to type up a little post here using alcohol inks and Grungepaper!

This month's Scraps of Darkness kit includes 6 sheets of Grungepaper in the Grunge Add-on, I love Grungepaper and wanted to share this quick and easy technique!

You will need:

Grungepaper element

Alcohol inks

Blending solution

Applicator

Crackle accents


Squeeze a good amount (2 seconds) of ink onto the applicator. I also used a couple drops of silver mixative. I added a bit of blending solution and tapped the ink onto the element.

I coated the edges with Crackle Accents. That activated with the silver mixative and turned the crackle medium orange, which actually turned out pretty cool!

Alcohol ink dries very quickly, but with the Blending Solution, you can manipulate it and make the color just what you want!



Thanks for visiting my blog!!

Oh, and I cut the elements with the Oct. 31 Limited Edition Cricut Cart!

Happy Creating!

Chocolate Baby Cake

More of the GREAT August kit from Scraps of Darkness. I used Petaloo flowers and loaded them with Distress Stickles. (Vintage Photo and Antique Linen on the flowers and Faded Jeans on the alphas.)

The only thing here not in the kit are the Prima alphas.

I drew my own vines with the Smooch. Eh, I don't know if I will do that again!

Reveal Day Scraps of Darkness

Forever.

You know, I am not really as obsessed with Twilight as some, but I think that they are gorgeous together. :)

I did a slightly cheaty version of the 'Wet Distress Technique' that I call the Glimmer Distress Technique. I used Glimmer Mist in dazzling diamond to get the bg paper wet, then I scruched it up with my hands. and blasted it with the heat gun. Then, I used Smooch Ink in Siren and fired brick Distress Ink over the scrunches.

I used Smooch Illuminate over the alphas. I got this font off the tubes and cut it with the Cricut. :)

Forever

The August Kit for Scraps OF Darkness is awesome! :) My favorite colors and the bonus of having pps you can mist or ink to the colors of your choice!

This is my first layout, Bad Girl. I am putting this in the challenge on scrapbook.com.. Using Mandy's awesome sketch and the new SOD kit, how could it go wrong?

I used the feather boa to make a puffy soft flower and attached the flower with Aleen's Tacky Glue. I put a silver medallion in the middle and used a clear pebble on top.

I did a lot of inking and could not decide on the right side what to do!

For the word girl, I used the rub on alphas on a piece of scrap and then simply cut them apart and ran the edges over Fired Brick Distress Ink.
