I made some creepy fun inspiration for everyone today using Rick St. Dennis images, but the images are no longer offered as digital singles. Instead, pages upon pages of these awesome images as well as scenes can be found in Rick's "The Dark World of Carnivals" adult colouring book which is listed in the comments below. This is brilliant because you don't have to think about what to create with the images. You can just colour and enjoy! Anyway, if you're looking for digital singles or sets, many other cool images can be found in Rick St Dennis Mfa​'s <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/RickStdennis"><b>Etsy</b></a> and <a href="https://www.zibbet.com/rick1949"><b>Zibbet</b></a> shops. Also, both shops have instant downloads so you can have instant gratification. The zibbet shop has the more mainstream images and the Etsy shop has the darker images.<br />
<br />
My piece is a mix of copic coloured images as well as digitally coloured images and the scene was created in Photoshop. I added some elements and light effects from Mischief Circus, Gothic Inspirations, and Lotta Designs. Click the image to enlarge. Cheers!<br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3;">Pictured below is a faux book which started its life as a box of candy. I used a Steampunk digital stamp named "<a href="https://www.zibbet.com/rick1949/a-clockwork-dragon-for-monique-digi-stamp">Clockwork Dragon</a>" drawn by Rick St. Dennis MFA. The image was colored with Copic markers and then fussy cut with scissors and a craft knife. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yiv6847758137yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1461019915403_10526" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yiv6847758137yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1461019915403_10526" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3;">The pages of the book were made from aluminum tape which was scored with a metal brush several times to give the look of pages. Washes of DecoArt Media fluid acrylics in Carbon Black and Quinacridone Gold were applied to the metal pages for an aged appearance. The "pages" were sealed with DecoArt Media Soft-Touch Varnish.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yiv6847758137yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1461019915403_10526" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yiv6847758137yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1461019915403_10526" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3;"> The facing of the book is embossed metal which was attached to the candy box with DecoArt liquid glass. The metal was then covered with DecoArt Media Antiquing cream in Carbon Black and when dry, the excess cream was wiped away with a slightly damp cloth to give an aged look. After the aged metal facing of the book was dry, DecoArt Media Soft-Touch Varnish was used to seal the antiquing cream. Tim Holtz cogs were embossed with a Darice embossing folder (Steampunk Gears) and a border was created. DecoArt Americana Premium Matte Acrylics in Burnt Sienna, Raw Umber and True Ochre were used to paint the border of cogs. When dry, DecoArt Metallic Lustre in Silver Spark, Gold Rush and Copper Kettle were applied with my fingers and later were buffed with a soft cloth to increase the metallic sheen. The gear and cog border, as well as the Clockwork Dragon, were applied to the faux book using pop dots.</span></div>

<span style="color: cyan; line-height: 19.32px; text-align: left;">I've used techniques from Andy's <a href="http://bookofruination.andyskinnercrafts.com/">Book of Ruination workshop</a> on the background and I used techniques from his <a href="http://bookofruination.andyskinnercrafts.com/">Rock this Book workshop</a> on the altered frame. </span><span style="color: magenta;"><u style="line-height: 19.32px; text-align: left;">To add a Tracy touch...I HAD to add flowers</u><span style="line-height: 19.32px; text-align: left;">.</span></span><span style="color: cyan; line-height: 19.32px; text-align: left;"> I made plaster Roses from a silicone mold I have as well as leaves to go with the flowers. The roses were painted with Multi-Surface Satin paints and the leaves were painted with Media fluid acrylics. The flower parts were sealed and Crackle glaze was applied. When dry, Antiquing Cream in Carbon black was applied, allowed to dry, excess wiped away, and the pieces were sealed again. I made a flower pot with cardboard and various colours of Media Misters. The paper was a scrap piece used to sop up any splatters or puddles. I glued and stapled the paper to the cardboard. My faux flower pot was adhered to the background with a hot glue gun. Next I coiled some copper wire around a paint brush to use as stems. The bottom of the wire was glued into the flower pot with the glue gun and the tips of the stems were glued under the roses with the hot glue. The leaves were applied randomly with the hot glue gun as well. For the final touch, I coiled more wire around a paint brush and poked it through a hole in a baby Alligator's foot and hung it like a charm from the flower pot. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm <a href="http://ladybrayton71.blogspot.com/">Lady B</a>, for those who don't already know, and it is my turn to give some creative mojo to those in the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/rickstdennisdigifansandfriends/">RSD Facebook Fans and Friends Group</a>. I would also like to take a moment to remind everyone about the <b>March RSD Facebook Challenge</b>. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=oa.826086827513350&type=1">Click HERE to find out details about the challenge</a>.</div>

Pictured below is the ever so cute "Larry Lapin". He was drawn by <a href="https://www.zibbet.com/rick1949">Rick St. Dennis MFA</a> and is available exclusively at "<a href="http://ibrakeforstamps.com/">I Brake for Stamps</a>". Larry can be found in <a href="http://ibrakeforstamps.com/larrylapin.aspx">digital form here</a> and in <a href="http://ibrakeforstamps.com/larrylapinrubberimage.aspx">rubber form here.</a> I coloured Larry with Copic Markers, scanned him to my pc, and then I added him to the digital card I made. This is an older piece of mine, but I wanted to post something to reflect the holiday.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
I made a 3 page art journal spread. The theme/inspiration was the quote "What I really want is".</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To make my journal I used the following: "<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/150104095/art-will-set-us-free-digi-stamp?ref=shop_home_active_1&ga_search_query=art%2Bwill%2Bset">Art Will Set Us Free</a>" digital stamp drawn by <a href="https://www.zibbet.com/rick1949">Rick St. Dennis MFA.</a> It can be purchased <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/150104095/art-will-set-us-free-digi-stamp?ref=shop_home_active_1&ga_search_query=art%2Bwill%2Bset">here</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"> I coloured the digital stamp with Copic Markers, fussy cut it, and I set it aside for later.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>DecoArt Products Used:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li><a href="http://decoart.com/mixedmedia/gesso">Media Gesso in White and Black</a> </li>
<li><a href="http://decoart.com/mixedmedia/matte-medium">Media Matte Medium</a></li>
<li><a href="http://decoart.com/mixedmedia/ultra-matte-varnish">Media Varnish in Matte</a></li>
<li><a href="http://decoart.com/glasspaint/accessories">DA Glass Markers in Black and White</a></li>
<li><a href="http://decoart.com/mixedmedia/tinting-base">Media White Tinting Base</a></li>
<li><a href="http://decoart.com/mixedmedia/fluid-acrylics">Media Fluid Acrylics</a> in several colours, some of which were Cobalt Teal Hue, Cobalt Turquoise Hue, Cobalt Blue Hue, Cerulean Blue, Dioxadine Purple and Ultramarine Blue. There may have been other colours, but I used so many I just can't remember.</li>
<li><a href="http://decoart.com/americana/acrylics">Americana Premium Matte Acrylics</a> in Purple Cow, Wisteria, and Dragon Fruit Pink</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Other Materials:</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Drywall Tape from the hardware store</li>
<li>Scissors</li>
<li>Heat Gun (optional)</li>
<li>Mini plastic cups or tissue tubes to make the circle shapes</li>
<li>An old plastic credit card for spreading paints and making lines</li>
<li>Various stencils, both handmade and store bought</li>
<li>Brushes and foam stencil pouncers</li>
<li>A large container of water to rinse brushes</li>
<li>Kitchen Towel for my multitude of messes</li>
<li>Focal image of choice, I used the Rick St. Dennis Digital Stamp "<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/150104095/art-will-set-us-free-digi-stamp?ref=shop_home_active_1&ga_search_query=art%2Bwill%2Bset">Art Will Set Us Free</a>".</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>The Process:</b> (For all paint steps, let one layer dry before moving on to the next layer).</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Prepare journal pages with DA Gesso in White.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Colour or paint your focal image, fussy cut it from the paper, and set it aside to use later. If you are wanting to paint an image directly onto your journal page, save this step until you are near the end of your journal page making.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Using a brush, palette knife, wedge tool or a credit or gift card, apply Tinting White Base and several coordinating colours onto journal pages and smoosh around until the base is covered. You want to use colours from the same colour family so you don't end up making mud.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Apply stencils and paint colours of choice to create designs for extra visual texture. I used a sponge pouncer for this. Continue this process until you like your pages.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Apply drywall tape in several areas. In some areas, I left the tape on the page. In other areas, I used the tape as a stencil with white and black gesso as well as various paint colours.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Use credit card to make lines. I used my credit card and gesso for this step.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Use anything with a circle shape to make more marks on the journal page. Once again, gesso was used in this step, but a thicker paint could work as well. I used plastic cups, but tissue tubes and kitchen towel rolls work well too.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Attach focal image with DA Media Matte Medium.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Write anything you wish with the DA glass markers or pen of your choice (optional).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Seal page with Media Matte Varnish. You can use a satin or glossy finish if you prefer. DecoArt sells those as well.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Basically, just play, experiment and have fun!</li>
</ul>

Hi! Lady B here sharing some inspiration for the RSD February Challenge. For this challenge, participants must use a Rick St. Dennis image from his <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/RickStdennis">Etsy</a> or <a href="https://www.zibbet.com/rick1949">Zibbet</a> shops and the creation must contain one or more hearts either in the image itself or in the final project. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=oa.811240695664630&type=1">Read more details here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a MM Canvas Board using a Skull from RSD's "<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/263241178/boneyard-skull-set-of-3-skull-digi?ref=shop_home_active_22">Boneyard Skulls</a>" digi set and <a href="http://decoart.com/products/">DecoArt</a> paints and Mediums. Click on image to enlarge.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Other Products:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li>Canvas Board 8" x 10" from <a href="http://www.jerrysartarama.com/?gclid=CI_GxNHUmMsCFQYIaQod6t4D8Q">Jerry's Artarama</a></li>
<li>An old credit card</li>
<li>Drywall Tape from the Hardware store</li>
<li>Chatterbox Journaling Genie Stencil #3 Funky. This stencil is so old, I don't even know if it exists anymore. I used it to make the Swirled and Zig-Zag lines.</li>
<li>Any printable image of choice. I used one of the Skulls from Rick St. Dennis MFA's "<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/263241178/boneyard-skull-set-of-3-skull-digi?ref=shop_home_active_22">Boneyard Skulls</a>" digital stamp set.</li>
<li>Access to a laser printer</li>
<li>Fountain Pen</li>
<li>Black and Opaque White India Ink</li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>My Process:</b></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Although my Canvas Board came pre-primed, I added another coat of gesso in white and dried with a heat gun being careful not to let the gesso bubble.</li>
<li>White tinting base and the fluid media acrylics were added in random spots on the canvas and the paint was spread with an old credit card. American matte acrylics were applied as well. I kept applying more paint and kept smushing it about until I achieved the look I wanted. My paint mixture was thick so I allowed the canvas to dry overnight.</li>
<li>A heart shaped stencil was cut from paper, placed on the previously painted canvas, and white gesso was applied followed by Americana Premium Matte Acrylic in Purple Cow.</li>
<li>Media Matte Medium was applied to the heart as well as to the skull image (which was printed in reverse with a laser printer).</li>
<li>When dry, another coat of matte medium was applied to the heart and printed image. The printed image was applied face down onto the heart and any bubbles or wrinkles were smoothed away. The image was allowed to dry over night.</li>
<li>The paper was removed from the canvas with a wet sponge. </li>
<li>After the paper was removed and the canvas was dry, I applied soft touch varnish to the heart. Two coats were applied and allowed to dry. </li>
<li>Crackle glaze was applied to the heart and skull image and allowed to dry.</li>
<li>When dry, Carbon Black Antiquing cream was applied to the cracks in the heart and allowed to dry. When dry, excess antiquing cream was wiped away with a slightly damp napkin.</li>
<li>The crackled heart and skull were sealed with soft touch varnish.</li>
<li>Using a credit card and gesso in black and white, several lines were made over the canvas.</li>
<li>Gesso in black was scraped through drywall tape in several areas. I also did this with white gesso and prussian blue hue acrylic paint. In some areas, the stencil paint/gesso was still a bit damp so new colours emerged. A happy accident.</li>
<li>When the paint was dry, Modeling Paste in white was scraped through my journaling stencil. </li>
<li>Titanium white fluid acrylic was painted over the dried white gesso for a brighter look.</li>
<li>White gesso was applied with a credit card and DA's "Mod" stencil in two areas.</li>
<li>Using black India Ink with a fountain pen, the white swirl and zig zag marks were outlined. The heart was also outlined with both black and white India Ink and the same inks were used on the skull image to add highlights and deepen the shadows of the image transfer.</li>
<li>The canvas was sealed with soft touch varnish.</li>
<li>Brush and stencil cleaner was used to clean off my stencils and fountain pens.</li>
</ul>

<span style="background-color: black; color: red;">It's February. Everything is pink and red and full of hearts. The Hallmark Company in the states will make millions of dollars selling sappy Valentine's Day Cards. I won't be a part of the nonsense.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: red;">In my opinion, love and affection should be shown every day, not just on February 14th which is Valentine's Day (Forced Affection Day). It's the day people feel obligated to declare their love and devotion for if they don't they will surely be shunned.</span></div>

DecoArt was sponsoring a challenge in January for Wanderlust based on a composition tutorial and the quote "Sometimes What You're Most Afraid of Doing is the Very Thing that will Set You Free.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My attempt is pictured below. Art journaling and mixed-media are fairly new to me so needless to say the challenge was a bit out of my comfort zone. I did enjoy the process. Click the image to enlarge if you wish.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry. I used way too many supplies to list, not to mention I forgot to keep track the supplies used as I went along. I will keep track in the future. I can say I definitely used DecoArt Gesso in white, DecoArt DecouPage and DecoArt Media Gel Medium. The colours are now a blur to me.</div>

I decided to enter the <a href="http://decoart.com/mixedmediablog/article/162/decoart_media_winter_wonderland_challenge">DecoArt Winter Wonderland Challenge</a>. Today is the last day for submissions. Looking at my piece, there a few more things I want to add, but time is not on my side. FYI, I made a similar canvas previously, decided to experiment a bit, and had to start from scratch. Ouch! Anyway, click on the image to enlarge and I will do my best to describe my process.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Assembly</u></b>:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: left;">Although my canvas board was pre-primed, I applied another coat of DA Gesso.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I applied DA white tinting base as well as Prussian Blue Hue, Colbalt-Teal Hue and Dioxazine Purple to my canvas board and spread it around with a plastic gift card. I kept repeating this process until I ended up with a look that I liked.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I used White Gesso, Payne's Grey, and Quinacridone Violet along with a plastic gift card to make various hashes, marks and lines with the paint.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I cut out a sample of my focal image, traced it onto the canvas, and coated the section with white gesso. I used 2 coats.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">When dry, I applied Media Matte Medium to the white image block and to my reversed image on printer paper and allowed to dry. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Once dry, I applied a second coat of Media Matte Medium to both areas, applied my digitally stamped image (laser ink side down) and smoothed out the paper with a brayer, cleaning up any matte medium that may have oozed out. I let this dry overnight. No heat gun.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">The next morning I took a wet sponge and removed the paper off my canvas leaving a cool image transfer. Andy has a tutorial on this process <a href="javascript:openVideoPopup('//www.youtube.com/embed/MZY8RYnOWxA','Transfer Images with Media Matte Medium','Learn tips and tricks from Andy Skinner on transfering images with Mede Matte Medium.');">here</a>.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I then painted my focal image (colours will be listed in step 11). The "rays" coming from the image were painted with White Tinting Base, Dioxazine Purple and Cerulean Blue. When dry, I covered my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/263399929/singing-zombie?ref=shop_home_active_18">Singing Zombie</a> with a mask and used a fan brush with various colours of the fluid acrylics to add a splatter effect. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">After various layers of paint, I went in with my Micron Pen to go over the lines of the image. This dried a bit shiny. I've since put a layer of Media Matte Medium over the image, but haven't had a chance to take a new picture yet.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I used the DA Stencil "Mod" as well as my handmade snowflake stencil with Glistening Snow-Tex to add dimension, some shimmer, and to add to the winter feel.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">The Zombie skin consisted mostly of Tinting White base, Colbalt-Teal Hue, Prussian Blue Hue, Purple Cow and Wisteria. The wounds and mouth consisted of Titanium White, Antique Mauve and Quinacridone Violet. The dark areas had Payne's grey added. The teeth consisted of Titan Buff, Yellow Oxide and Raw Sienna as well as some highlights with my white marker. The hair consisted of various shades of grey using White mixing base with Payne's Grey. Dazzling Metallics in Ice Blue was used for the eyes. </li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Things I'd like to add</u></b>:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ol>
<li>I think it would look cool to add some DA Crackle Glaze to the zombie skin and once dry, add some antiquing cream to the image. Cracked Zombie Skin would rock! Perhaps I'll give that a go later.</li>
<li>I had thought about adding the words "Winter Wonderland" along with some music notes to the rays coming from the Zombie to give the appearance of him singing. I held off on this in fear of ruining my piece.</li>
<li>I think I would have liked to grunge up the canvas a bit more, but sometimes less is more so I let it be.</li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for Looking!</div>

Lady Brayton here to show you a creepy cute January Calendar I made using Rick's "<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/262760114/january-2015-digi-stamp?ref=shop_home_active_1&ga_search_query=january">January</a>" digi stamp. The stamp was coloured with Copic markers and scanned to my PC. I then added a free calendar page I found on the net and added some cool background paper from the retired store of Crafty Chaos Designs. The paper came from the set "Technologie Fantastique". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Click on image to enlarge. I will be showing my Feb. calendar in a few days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

For those who did not see my December calendar during the Creepmas hop, here it is below:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The calendar above was made with Rick St. Dennis MFA's image "<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/247053850/fresh-decor-2015-digi-stamp?ref=shop_home_active_1">Fresh Decor 2015</a>".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once again the image was coloured with Copic markers, scanned to my pc, and a free printable calendar was added as well as a snowflake and sand timer. The striped paper was in my stash and I scanned that as well. Assembly was done in PhotoShop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/RickStdennis?ref=shopsection_shophome_leftnav">FYI, Rick's DARKER images are now exclusively in his Etsy Shop</a> and his <a href="https://www.zibbet.com/Rick1949">pretty, cute, and mainstream images are in his Zibbet shop.</a></div>

I coloured the digital stamps with Copics then scanned them to my pc. I did some editing in Photoshop as I had trouble staying in the lines due to my hand tremors. Stupid hands! I imported the images to Photoshop and composed the cheery scene below using digital elements which are cited below the picture. Click image to enlarge.<br />

Today I have created a Creepmas layout for your viewing pleasure. The image was coloured with Copic markers, scanned to my PC, and then was added to this sketch layout by Kitty Designs which I altered a bit to suit my needs. The sentiment is mine :} Now that I'm looking at my layout, I wish I didn't add the second bit of flair at the bottom. Does anyone know how to separate layers in Photoshop once they've been compressed? If so, let me know :)</div>

<br />
The image was colored with Copic markers then scanned to my PC. I then found a calendar on the net and added a matching border to the top of the calendar. Everything was assembled in Photoshop. FYI, Rick makes creepy calendars for every month of the year. I plan on making a full calendar with the entire series to give as a Creepmas Gift. Rick also has tons of Creepmas images in his <a href="https://www.zibbet.com/Rick1949">Zibbet Shop</a> and currently he is having a BIG SALE!!!<br />
<br />
Cheers!<br />

Hi! Lady B here on this cold and frosty day. We had our first snowfall in my part of the world yesterday. It inspired me to make the digital piece below. Click on the image to enlarge the picture.</div>

Good morning everyone<br />
We hope that everyone and their loved ones are safe and sound following the events of the weekend.<br />
<br />
Veterans/Armistice day has been and gone for another year, but the fallen will not be forgotten.<br />
Will they?<br />
<br />
On a lighter note - Thanksgiving Day is nearly upon us when some of us will be gathering together with family and friends. The beginning of the holiday season for many.<br />
<br />

I went for cute. Yep. Ms. Lady Brayton Darkart used the "C" word. Everyone needs to step out of their comfort zone once in a while. I used RSD's "<a href="https://www.zibbet.com/rick1949/you-make-me-blush-digital-stamp">You Make Me Blush</a>" digital stamp which I coloured with Copic Markers and fussy cut. I added the wee cutie to this very cool box card which I purchased from <a href="http://www.3dsvg.com/">The Dreaming Tree</a>. This was the "<a href="http://www.3dsvg.com/shop/cards-svg-files/halloween-paperscape-box-cards-svg-bundle/">Scarecrow</a>" box card, but I replaced the SVG scarecrow with <a href="https://www.zibbet.com/rick1949">Rick St. Dennis</a>' <a href="https://www.zibbet.com/rick1949/you-make-me-blush-digital-stamp">scarecrow</a>. For extra interest, I dry embossed various paper pieces. I hope you enjoy my make!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Your turn now - Make a project - ANYTHING GOES using <a href="https://www.zibbet.com/rick1949">a Rick St Dennis image</a> - and using<a href="http://sparkleandglitterwithrick.blogspot.com/p/novdec-2015-progressive-challenge.html"> Mr Linky</a>. We are looking forward to seeing those inspirational pieces.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you and stay safe!<br />
