1st May day

Well hello spring!

It's officially spring time - even thought 

we still have a little bit snow here and there.

Today I'd like to share ATC

made from left overs from

my Gelly plate projects.

I tend to keep all the pits and pieces;

you'll never know when you need just

that piece and just that color, LOL.

Colored with Zig pens.

Meantime Asylum Anne is testing wands ahead of her trip to the UK at the end of this month:

Would you believe air-dry clay over a tongue depressor stick, an embossing folder before it dried, then some paint, and a leather wrap.

As for the charms... you'd think they'd be built in, but no, one can acquire additional spells!
Hoping to find Platform 9&3/4ths to get to Hogwarts for an Advances Spell-casting course.

Let us see what's in your mind in this spring time.

When our blue froggy hits 40,

these are the goodies going to some lucky art maker.

Our last winner hasn't contact us,

so this is the last call for this price.

After one week from this post (7th of May),

well be selecting a new winner for this cool stamp.

 So Vivian Foo, please contact us

dreamindarknessblog (at) gmail dot com

so we can mail your stamp to you

In her own skin

Stamping on teabag, little coloring and then re-cycling a 

package with a wave image.

I only used to bottom part of the AALL sentiment,

I like it better that way, :)

So what's you been doing?

Show us your art by linking

there ->

and when we have 40 entries these 

goodies will be mailed in some lucky player.

Shake Your Booty

Freaked out by all that pinkness, chocolate and pierced hearts on Valentine Day,
not to mention all the chocolate coming up for Easter,
we're recovering with a tag and plenty of bones to rattle the (heart)beat out.

Over a shaving cream background, the dancing silhouettes are from A Stamp in the Hand, 
The winged skeleton and border are from Smeared Ink's Skelly Christmas.  The bird is part of a Lost Coast Designs stamp, and the arms from Bloobel (via joggles.com).  Strange how not all of these stamps are still available.  I guess their bones disintegrated faster than their rubber.

So Anne is dancing towards spring 

... hmm since she is living "upside down"

she might be dancing towards Autumn.

We had our first winner this year,

congratulations to the Vivian yet again.

AND the great news is, that we have these 

goodies ready to go for a next winner

as soon as 40 entries shows on our 

froggy linky (at the right side of the blog) ->

... but this mouth ...and the WINNER

I've been having a bit off a creative lock,

and I thought, why reach for the moon to break it,

so here's a simple ATC to get my fingers 

going again:

Using embossing powder, Visible image stamp

and Holtz sentiment, :=)

Yay!

I saw that it's time for a first winner of 2019!

That is awesome!!

And now, hmmm, what's up for our

next fab winner, when 40 entries are in our linky.

(found in the right side column of the blog)

This is what will be the price:

Stamps

AND dies to match

Cool, ehh? So do link your art

for us (and others) to see, :=D

No Half Measures.

  Is the glass half full, or half empty, and depending on the contents, will it really matter?
Maybe what really matters is that at time of posting, we only need 3 more dark offerings, to award a prize.  Only THREE!!!

Journal page used a Seth Apter/Stencil Girl stencil, stamps from Chocolate Baroque, Paper Artsy, Andy Skinner

Belated Birthday Poe!

Life is full of intentions... good and bad.  So Poe's birthday was celebrated in January, and I started... but missing the blog hop deadline, it morphed into Other Innuendo

in her diaphanous mesh dress, and over-stated headdress.
And some digi beasties got in on the act, all dressed in their shiniest Lindy's warpaint

Whilst a Raven (at last! a Poe reference!), heat-embossed, clatters his shiny beak, and speaks that immortal line...

 And of course, the Cautionary note spelled out to Poe by the raven and actress...

Background includes Stencil Girl Tribal Leaves,  stamps from Carabelle which I can't find on thier web site, but got from here,  Andy Skinner's Birds and Bones, Blank Page Muse, digi stamp  Bizarre Beasties from Leigh SB Designs.  The two trees are Cheery Lynn dies, now known as My Makers Movement.

Hopefully your feathers have been ruffled thoroughly, and set you down another dark art path - do share!  We have Treats LOL

All you need is love

Yay, it's February already and

in norther side of the globe, 

we are getting more daylight and energy.

February brings the Valentine's day,

and I thought I'd share here a DT pieces

I made for a SheepSki Designs 

All you need is love -challenge,

which starts today.

I made 2 ATC using Eternal Love image,

with Gecko Galz digital papers and acetate on top.

On First one I embossed the acetate 

and on second one I stamped.

Do link up you art to our permanent link,

we'd love to come and see and

when there is 20 entries, someone will be having

this cool stamp:
