Angling for Some Love

Greetings!

Just popping in real quick with a fun little card 

I made for Valentine's day.

This handsome fella is from Hellgnome Death Digis.

I colored him using Copic markers.

I created the background using a stencil and some 

Nuvo Glimmer Paste in Black Diamond. 

I fussy cut the fish, added a lovely heart shaped jewel to his

dingly thing, and popped him up on foam dots.

That's it for now.

Pop by the Hellgnome digi shop and pick up some cool images.   

I'm late! I'm late!!

Not a good way to start off the new year , but I'm a few days behind 

in my Hellgnome post for this week.

Better late than never, I suppose.

I used the Hellgnome Skull balloon image as my main focus.

I popped it into my Gimp program and manipulated the 

image to create a bunch. 

I colored the balloons in my favorite color combo, 

and then fussy cut them out so I could play with their

arrangement more, and give them dimension with foam tape. 

Lastly, I glued some baker's twin onto the back of each balloon,

and gathered them behind an inked TH quote chip.

Also, double points for using the TH packaging as my background paper.

I just distressed it a bit with some paint splatter and distress inks.

I love the spider web design in the Halloween packaging. 

The hoarder who  lives in my craft room forbid me to throw it out.

Thanks for stopping by!

I have a bunch of new goodies to play with and I can't wait to show you

what I make with them.

  

The Snowman from Hellgnome

I don't know about you, but that title sounds like a great

Christmas movie. 

And by great, I mean watchable since I will watch damn near

any scary movie that is on TV. Case in point, I just sat through

2 1/2 hours of 'The House That Jack Built', starring Matt Dillon as a serial killer.

BORING! There were a few scenes worth watching (see taxidermy scene), but

overall a total snooze fest. Then there's 'Mandy", starring Nicolas Cage. 

I was left thinking and audibly asking, "WTF did I just watch?".

Makes me give 'The Nun' another star. 

Which brings that total up to three stars now.

Okay, back to my card...

Doesn't this just make you all warm and fuzzy inside?

No? Just me then. 

I began my creative foray by coloring this killer Horned Snowman

image from Inked Artist/Hellgnome Death Digis . 

I used Copic markers for my coloring of the snowman.

I just can't seem to use anything else to color with these days.

My Zigs are missing me...

I took some designer paper that resembles wooden planks,

and used some Dylusions sprays in Cherry Pie and Post Box Red for 

blood splatter. This guy looks kind of messy, so I splattered him as well.  

I used a die cut from the same paper pad and splattered that with

Dylusions sprays also. These reds are perfect for blood splatter.

Just sayin'... 

I popped everything onto some black card stock using foam tape

on the snowman and his festive sign.

I managed to find some still intact Xmas candy to use as props

for my photo shoot. I like it.

Thanks for popping by today.

Hope everyone had a magnificent Creepmas!!  

And all the best for 2019!!  

   

What the actual Hell Gnome?!

Back again with another make using some Hellgnome Death Digis.

This little dude is the Angry Hellgnome image. 

He reminds me of my father in law. 

Minus the peg leg. Although that would be cool...

I colored up the Angry Hellgnome and the Bone Cross images

using Copic markers. Always my coloring medium of choice.

I fussy cut out the little angry dude, and mounted him onto the Bone Cross background.

I added black mattes to everything, and popped on some black Nuvo drops.

The answer to the question posed on the front.

The sentiment is from Hambo stamps. I love their two part sentiments.

Okay, that's going to do it for me today.

Be sure to pop by the Hellgnome digi shop to grab some cool digis

of your very own!

Astroskeleton or just a dead spaceman

Greetings!
I have a cool CAS card to share today using two images from

the Hellgnome line of images at Inked Artist Avenue.

First off, I began by creating my own galaxy background using Distress Oxide inks.

Splashed some water drops on it, dried it, and splattered some white Dylusions spray

to create the idea of a galaxy. 

I layered the background onto some black card stock creating a framed look. 

I colored the Dead Spaceman image with Copics and then did the same

with the Rocket and Meteor image.

I fussy cut everybody out, and removed the meteor from the spaceship entirely.

The beauty of working with digis and fussy cutting. I can remove parts of

the image easily to help the flow or layout of my project. I'm not very good 

at using masks to do this with rubber stamps, but find it easy to do this way. 

I popped the space dude and his hose up a bit with foam tape. I also added some 

Nuvo glitter drops in silver moondust.

Kept it super simple this time.

That's it for me today.
I'll be back soon with another Hellgnome project to share.

Hellgnome!!!

Woo hoo! I'm back today to share a card I made using a digital

image from Hellgnome Death Digis.

My friend, Stephanie thought I'd dig these images for some strange reason.

And she was so right! These aren't your run of the mill all occasion images.

Unless you're like me and like to create weird stuff all of the time.

This image is called, Skull Monster.

If it's not in the shop, it will be very soon. 

I colored this bad boy up with Copics and matted it onto silver card stock.

I added a few more white dots, and tried my hand at using blending fluid

to add spots in the gray areas. That's kind of scary to do after you've colored

an entire image. Probably won't do that too often.

Finally, I added the word, 'SEEK' and this dog is ready to hunt. 

Check out the Hellgnome Death Digi shop, and both the facebook 

and Instagram pages for inspiration and group shenanigans.
