Pumpkin House



Hello to all you amazing crafter's out there. I have a new little Halloween creation to share with you that I made for Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts. I played with a new Mini House Shadowbox.  

*Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts provided me with some product to create this project. This post also contains affiliate links. The opinions I share are solely my own.

Step one - Gather up all your goodies your want to alter and give them a coat of gesso. I went with black on everything and then white for the pumpkin.


I used some orange acrylic paint for a base on the pumpkin.



While this dries I sprayed some lace with some pumpkin colors and let that dry. 


Next I glued the lace down on the pumpkin. 


I painted the rest of the pieces I had with more acrylic paint. 


Then added some leftover chunks of scraps I had on my desk to build up dimension. 



I put everything together and then realized it needed to have some sort of feet on it. I also used a Tim Holtz rub on that says October 31. 







I so hope you enjoyed my little pumpkin house. Now go grab your goodies and create!

Inspire Wing Decor


Hello lovelies.  I am sharing a wall decor project I made for Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts. I wanted to create something grungy but creative and inspiring for myself. 


*Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts provided me with some product to create this project. This post also contains affiliate links. The opinions I share are solely my own.*



So I started with some paper that I primed with gesso. The tape helps it stay flat due to the amount of medium I plan on putting on the paper. 


I used some Raw Umber mixed with water to create a wash. 


So this is how it looked. Let the wash dry before moving to the next step.


Then I went in around the edges with a rusty looking color and let it dry. 


Then I went over the whole thing with a Crackle Effect and let it dry. This has to air dry. It can mess up the effect if you use a heat tool.


Then I went over with some white gesso and then bam look at the crackle. While this dries I also painted my wings. 



Then I used a stencil with some texture paste over my paper. 


I spread the texture paste to make it look a little more natural. Let it dry or heat set. 
Then I combined the two colors I originally painted with and mixed them with a glazing medium. Then paint it over your paper. 


Use a baby wipe to remove after let it sit for just a second. Wipe off as much as you want. 


I used some gelatos over the wings and a little water to mix the colors. 


I used VersaMark watermark ink and a stamp in the wings, then sprinkled with some gold detail embossing powder. 


Then heat set the wings. I love this look. 


I decided to go ahead with a crown and randomly smoothed Watermark ink on the crown and sprinkled Gold detail with it. 


Then I just layered everything how I wanted it on my piece. Check out the close ups of my creation below. 






Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed following along with how I created this piece of wall decor. Make sure you come back daily for more inspiration and how-to's from the rest of the team.
