Stampendous! and Clear scraps Blog Hop!

BOO!!  Are you ready for today's fun Hop?  The Stampendous and Clear Scraps teams have had a blast this week combining products and today is the last day of our collaboration.  If you arrived here from my good friend Taylor's blog then keep on reading! If not, why not start back at the Stampendous! Impressions blog at the beginning?!



So do you notice anything NEW on my album?  Hehe. We get to start sneaking peeks this week of the brand new July CHA release from Stampendous!  These have to be my totally most favorite new stamps ever!!  I started with Bat Girl for my cover image.  She's one of my new favs from the Kiddos line and you will soooo not be disappointed with the rest of the new ones!!  (These are not yet on the web page but you should start seeing them in a couple weeks in your local store!!)

I adhered her over a gray panel stamped with Castle Gate background stamp.  I stamped the image in Versafine Onyx (Tsukineko) and then let that dry just a sec while I added some Versamark over the torn edges, then added Aged Black Embossing Enamel to the edges.  I then quickly poured a bit of Detail Black EP over the gate image so that when the Versafine was partially dry the EP only stuck to some parts of the image.


I then added some Tombo Wet adhesive to the ground around her feet and then sprinkled on some NEW Trick or Treat Color Fragments (and YES! they are already mixed like that!!)


For my title I embossed chipboard letters with Versamark ink and Aged Black EE.  All the papers for this album are from the brand-spankin new Halloween line from Graphic 45.


Here's a peek at edges of the rest of the pages of my album.  I thought since I'm sneaking images I would share different pages with you over the course of the next couple of weeks as I complete them, and ya know, Halloween is my favorite!  (And I only laid down the bases of the rest of the pages so far!  Shhh!)


The Sassy Mixed Album from Clear Scraps is 3 acrylic pages and 2 chipboard pages.  I covered my 2 chipboard pages with paper using Mod Podge.  For the acrylic I played around mainly with Gesso, Dylusions ink sprays, my copic Airbrush system, and Dreamweaver Stencils.


If you notice on the edge of the first page you can see that it started clear.  I masked the back of the page with a clear stencil and then sprayed purple Dylusions spray over it.  I let the front side blank so it was a bit more transparent.  I then added some Black Dot Sparklers Class-a-peel stickers around the scallops.  Below is yet another view of the page overlaps and edges and Fran'taging!


OK! So I had fun, can you tell??  My hands and table definitely show the extent of my fun!  So from here hop over to the uber talented Kristine to see what she's cooked up for you!

  28. I love bat girl, too! I like the way you let the gate partially dry so only some of the embossing powder stuck. That is a very cool technique.
