Happy Weekend Everyone! We're excited to announce that the BRAND NEW 2016 Gothic Tombstone ATCs are here! And the shapes are just fabulous if I do say so myself!

Inspiration By Kim Collister!  

Do you recall Design Team Member Kim Collister's lonely King from a few weeks ago? Well great news, his queen has been received!!! Kim transformed our Large Dress From Doll II (http://ow.ly/8mmK302QByP) along with a sweet face from Collage Sheet DP267 (http://ow.ly/dSdv302QBM6) to create a gorgeous doll fit for a King! What a tremendous pair!

And Kim's original King post using the Male Doll (http://ow.ly/pfjX302QC9x) here: 




Inspiration By Sherry Matthews!  

Feast your eyes on this amazing Circle Shrine by the talented Sherry Matthews! Sherry is a master when it comes to painting, and just look at that fabulous texture! Such a beautiful piece Sherry!

 The backgrounds are always my favorite part, and where I spend the most time. I started by adding two coats of orange acrylic paint. 


 I arranged each of the four new Stencils on my Tombstones. (TIP: I put the tiniest dab of glue on the back of the stencil to hold it in place.)


 I spray painted over the stencils with black spray paint and inked the edges. I painted my Baroque Frames and Mini Script Words with a lovely purple, added my Skeletons, and finally finished with some white dots and Mini Bats. And that's it! Super fun! 



We can't wait to see what you create with the New 2016 Tombstones! Let's get this contest started! Find all of the details HERE!
