EEK! A Skull on a Mixed Media background

Halloween is 11 days away! I wanted to share a decorative canvas I did for the occasion.

 

The back ground is layers of inks, black archival ink stamped with various stamps.

 

On top of the goodness is a skull fussy cut from an Altered Paper collage sheet.

The sentiment was also from the collage sheet.

 I distressed all around the image with antique photo & attached a brad in one of the eye sockets. Popped it up with dimensionals. Below the chin I layered a couple of skeleton leaves, a button, flowers and another brad.

Crows Beware!!

Boo!

Did I scare you?

 

I don't think this cute scarecrow is going to do much to keep the crows away-do you? LOL

Here's an easy tag to make for Halloween-or change the sentiment for Thanksgiving or fall.

 

For the background, brayer Art Anthology Dimensional Acrylic  Paint, allow to dry. Using a stencil and makeup sponge add brown ink to the bottom half. Stamp image with black ink, then color with various Faber Castell Gelatos using a small paint brush.  Cut out sentiment, add using gel medium. Distress with paint brush and black Faber Castell Gelato. To finish, edge with brown ink and punch a hole in the top and add fiber/raffia.

Halloween Mixed Media with video

Hi!  It's hard to believe it's already October!

I know your going to see a lot of Halloween projects this month.

I'd like to inspire you to make a wall hanging.  If you use the MDF board you can punch holes in the top with a Croc-A-Dile and thread ribbon or twine through it to hang it up.

 I used Nija oil pastels to create the base background.  Since they're oil based, you can heat them a little with your heat tool and they'll spread easily with your finger.  I then stamped my image with Black Archival ink. 

The sentiments are from Halloween collage sheets that you can find in the Altered Pages Shop-HERE

The yellow moon was created using Art Anthology lemon tart dimensional paint.  They have partnered with Altered Pages this month. 

I appreciate any comments you'd like to leave.  Please check our blog out every day for tons of inspiration from our wonderful design team!!

You'll be seeing more of me later in the month!  Have a spooky-wonderful month!!
