For this one I did a little white gesso and gold paint on the background.  We actually had a theme for this one and it was to use gold on our cards.

Josette went with ripping papers for the background of her card which I like.  I usually go more straight but I do like the uneven papers here.

I really dug deep into my stash this time .... mini dominoes!  remember doing them back in the day.  Look here in this post from 2012! If you type dominoes in my search box on my side bar you can find more.  Anyway, back to my card.  The stamps on dominoes are from Stampin' Up.  The words are from an unknown company because it is wood mounted with no name.  We are still doing the gold theme so got out my gold foil and tassel.

She used distress oxide inks, Copic markers to color her card.  And added some great texture by using die as a stencil with texture paste.

Thanks for stopping by and come back again soon.

Day 2 - GIU girl - Dominoes

Dominoes

stamps used:  Unity stamps

supplies:  dominoes, Colorbox chalk inks, Brilliance black ink, glitter, beads, black cord/thick bakers twine, key rings, charms, glossy accents

Welcome back for day 2 of my GIU girl week.

Today I will be mixing it up a bit by not making any cards ... yes, you heard me no cards today.  Today we are playing with dominoes.  I took ordinary dominoes added some inks, stamped on them ... made them into necklaces and key ring holders.  The main thing to remember is to use a permanent ink and heat set after each color or the color will smear and rub off.  After all the ink is dry I stamped the image with Brilliance black ink which also needs to be heat set to become permanent.  Don't forget to also add color to the sides and back.  Once you are satisfied with the color and stamping ... squirt on some glossy accents and spread it all over the domino.  I just used my finger to do this step but if you don't want to use your finger you can use a sponge.  Now is the time to add glitter or charms to your stamped domino ... the glitter or charms will glue to domino because of the glossy accents.  The glossy accents has to dry on it's own which can take anywhere from 20 minutes to a few hours depending how thick it is applied.  Did I forget to mention that my dominoes have holes drilled in them in order to thread the black cording for the necklaces and key rings.  Just for a little added something, something I wrapped some thick baker's twine around half of the key ring plus added a few beads to the necklaces.

***Don't forget to comment each day to be included into the drawing for the Unity stamp grab bag prize at the end of the week.  Not one but two winners will be picked!  Please leave a current email in your comment so I can contact you if you win.***
