31 Days of Halloween 2013: Day 13 with Domino Art

Day 13 of 31 Days of Halloween is here!!!
If you came from Carla's blog, then you are on the right track; if not, then please visit Terra's Blog and enjoy the hop.
I am also part of Domino Art's 31 Days of Halloween Celebration.
Today's project is an altered domino featuring an image from a rubber stamp set designed by Rick St. Dennis for Smeared Ink Rubber Club called Voodoo.

The supplies used: 

Domino game piece

Golden Paint: Carbon Black

Black Sharpie Pen

VersaMark embossing ink pad

Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel: Black

Ranger's Glossy Accent

Perfect Pearls: Metallic

Voodoo Stamp Set from Smeared Ink Rubber Club

Designer Paper scrap

E6000 adhesive

Metal Spacer

Assorted beads

Head pin

Eye pin 

The process is really easy:

• Cover the solid side of the domino with VersaMark and add the Black embossing powder.
• Melt the powder with the heating gun.
• Repeat this step 2 more times.
• Cover the surface of the enamel with Metallic Perfect Pearls and heat again, this sets the Perfect Pearls into the enamel. 
• While the enamel is still hot, press the surface with the stamp, careful not to touch it.
• Remove the stamp and allow to cool completely before doing anything else to the domino.
• Once it cools down, the enamel hardens and the stamped image is permanent.
• Cover the sides of the domino with Golden acrylic paint.
• Turn over the domino and glue a rectangular piece of scrap paper to this face inserting the eye pin.  Before adhering the scrap of paper to the domino I used a sharpie around the border of paper to add a little black outline. 
• Cover the surface of the paper with Glossy Accents this seals the paper and protects our works.
• Once it is dry, decorate with beads.
• Add a metal spacer to the top, using E6000 adhesive, this is an industrial strength adhesive, resistant to water. 

Enjoy your new pendant, just imagine the possibilities!
