Oh My Goth! It's a Screen!

I had the best fun making this screen for the Zutter Zisters Design Team last month! It had been ages since I had used these fab stamps from Stampotique and I sat happily colouring for ages.

The main structure is just grey chipboard covered with the Rockstar papers from DCWV. I then stamped on these with Darkroom Door's Rockstar stamps ... Can you see a theme building :0)
I round the chipboard off by drawing around a CD and sanding to form a smooth edge. Then you just get started with the Bind-it-all using that nippy little continuous button to punch ... it is all just so easy!

I bound the screen with some black lace and then added some shrunken skulls to complete the goth look. The skulls are in fact Lord Tim's skull and crossbones stamp ... but I detached the bones with some scissors ... humanely of course. If you want to see other designs of this screen ... check out my gallery here.
Laters!

Screening Christmas!

I am delighted to have been asked to post on this wonderful blog ... The regulars among you will know that I am on the 09/10 design team. This is one of my first submitted projects and I had a ball ... well a Christmas ball really ... making it!

In the latest edition of Stamper's Sampler there is a little Christmas Screen and I was completely inspired to go away ... create a larger version and instead of just folding the screen ... binding it  with my Bind-it-All!

I need to start telling you now exactly what I used coz there is a lot on it ... but basically ... chipboard; ribbons; Grunge paper; bells; 3 sets of Dark Room Door stamps; Paper Artsy Egg and Nog plate 2; Gold embossing powder; Ranger Distress inks; Promarkers; Fired Brick Stickles and my favouritist ever Chrissy paper from Cosmo Cricket ... aptly named.  Use the Bind-it-All to punch the holes and thread the panels together.  For a finished look, I finished off the corners with the Round-it-All - items to put on your holiday wish list for certain!

Be Good! ... Trust me ... I do try :0)
