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!

It's RCAG Gothic Tombstone Time!
I had a blast playing with the new 2016 Tombstone Set! Here's a quick little peek and a few process photos.
Supplies Used Tombstone Bases V, Pebble Stencil, Worn Screen Stencil, Notches Stencil, Repeating Star Stencil, Skeleton Calendar Paper Cuts, Mini Baroque Frame Cut-Outs, Mini Bat Cut Outs, Mini Halloween Script Words, Matte Glue N Seal, White Sharpie Paint Pen, Sepia Ink, Black Ink, Ink Blending Foam.
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!
