I belive its an old DFX tropical split cake. But it is one of my faves!

Supplies used: dolphin one stroke white rlack and orange from mehron. A 3/4 flat, a smalled one 1/2 flat, a 0 round brush and spouncer round foamy.
I made the s shape first with 3/4 flat. Then spounced three circles for the bodies of the snowmen. Then added some swirls dots and stars for detail. Added scarf with 1/2 flat and dolphin darker side instead this time. and some black dots for eyes mouth and a black hat leaving a strip for the ribbon. Ph and a little carrot nose and some black stick arms all the smaller details with the 0 round brush.[/url

and the finished arm design:

I used leaf yellow one stroke and mehron white and red a flat 3/4 brush,spouncer and a 0 round brush.
First I made holly leaves with then added red berries with a spouncer then a few swirls and highlights. Finish with stars and dots and more outlining in white and that is it. A simple holiday holly arm design Enjoy.

very very pretty!

WOW !
I love all these designs !
Thanks for sharing them .

Wowzers! Awesome entries all around. It's going to be very hard only voting once.

I am so thrilled with split cakes and arty cakes, and raibow cakes that I have so many and am still learning to work with them so this challenge is perfect for me. I am dazzled by all the pros out there but I love reading the forum and wanted to contribute. I have never taken a workshop on the BIRD on the forhead but I think it is so lovely and graceful. These photos are the first ever bird I have done so please be forgiving...I was working as fast as I could at a fall festival when a girl saw this design in my inspiration folder...so I remembered my lesson from LaFete," Be brave, have confidence" and I explained to the girl that this would be a first and if she'd let me take pictures then I could share it as a step by step on the painters forum. She was very happy with that so, here we go:
Materials Used: Flat 1/2 in. brush, Paradise/ Mehorn Prisma Cake Flame/Fire, Diamond FX Black & White and Round #4 brush.
1. Start with a swirl or curly que in the center of the forehead (for the birds head) and drag a swipe down along one side of the nose for its neck.

2.. Lay down wavy sort of fire licks using "FlAME" colors above the eyebrows.

3. Accentuate significant lines with black .

I try to keep paints out of the eye area although the design might look more mask-like if it went right up to the eyeliner edge. Add white details, glitter etc...
4. Happy customer and me too!

I love your phoenix's face.

That is a beautiful bird mask! The bird masks are one of my most asked for faces. Did a whole birthday party in bird masks once - every one a different color, but essentially the same design. They're popular with young and old. I wear a bird mask to a lot of my gigs. I've never done one with your colors but have been dreaming of one with flames for wings. I know it's been done before... I saw one recently. And another one with tribal wings.

LOVE how bold and powerful your bird is!

I haven't been on the Forum much lately, but I painted this and thought to make a step-by-step.



I am amazed by all the talent on the forum - and all the beautiful entries. Nice work!

AWESOME! Lonnie!

Suzy LOOK AT THIS!

Thank you Metina, and notice that I have found yet an other use for your Daisy split?

I LOVE this Lonnie!!!! I saw it on your FB and the first thing I thought was, OMG you should have taken step by steps and put it in the challenge!!....and here it is!!! AWESOME.

whoa , the mummy is amazing. I dig the heavy dark shading under the eyes which really make it look gaunt and the "holes" totally realistic....I am running to hide.
Good job!

I am so glad you liked my bird. I appreciate your comments everyone.
Happy Halloween!

love the mummy, Lonnie!

What a great mummy! Very clever use of the Daisy one stroke. LOVE it. The shading you did is very cool and totally makes it. I bet you get a lot of requests for this one!

omgosh that is sooo beautiful.....

Materials: 1 " flat brush, 3/4"flat brush, #3 round

Paints: Patriot Prisma Cake, Leaf Homemade Split cake, Wolfe Navy Blue, Wolfe Yellow, White Diamond FX

Using the Flat 1" brush pick up the Blue, light blue, white and red of the Patriot Prism, create a circle while slightly wiggle the brush to create the curled petal effect.

Using the #3 round dot the yellow center, clean the brush and create white teardrops towards the center of the flower and outline with navy creating slight peaks.




Using the flat 3/4" use your leaf split cake to create heart shape flowers, and with the #3 round pick up to of the greens from the split and make swirls

Highlight with white dots and star burst.

OMG!!! I love both the bird and the mummy !
