Floating Vampire skull

For today's make I have a floatng vampire skull,

Deco Art products used: Americana Acrylic Gesso, Americana Matte Varnish,  Weathered wood Crackle medium, Americana Acrylics in  Red Alert and Lamp Black, Glamour Dust glitter paint in Sizzling Red and Dazzling metallics in Venetian Gold.

 The skull is a Rick St.dennis digi you can find it here. Coloured using pencils. Cut out and framed between two glass plates.

The frame is made of wood, usedAmericana gesso to base coat it, and painted it Dazzling Metallics Venetian Gold. next was a layer of Weathered wood, and the top paint layer isAmericana lamp black. When the crackles appeared and the black paint was dry I used Matte Varnish to protect the crackle layer. Next the fun started, creating paint drips, used Red Alert Americana for the dripings, mixed it with a bit of water to get it running. When the dripping was dry I added some Glamour dust in Sizzling red, because vampires like a little sparkle too.

Easy project with a great result I think :-)
