for today's post I've got another altered item for you. I changed a white tray to a Halloween tray, also decorated glass candle holders for Halloween.
The tray was white , I gessoed it and painted it spiced pumpkin using Deco Art americana acrylics, then added sour apple , and lavender with almost dry brush, to give it a spooky look.
Then a layer of Weathered wood crackle medium , then I stamped the black (lamp black) pumpkins and tekst. It did crackle but the pics don't show it well.
Finished with a protective layer of matte varnish.

The glass candle holders were decorated using the Deco Art spooky stencil and a glass paint marker.

 

 

and another AJ page, the background is made using a Gelli plate Americana Acrylic paints (berry red, blue harbor , spiced pumpkin,  cadmium yellow) and Tim Holtz and Sizzix dies that have been used as a mask.

The Rick St. Dennis image used is called Crow Hunter you can find him in the  Etsy or in the zibbet shop.

 

The senti is from "The Crow" (duh!!)

 

 

 

see you for day 20

ok still hanging in but it's a toughie this year...... well almost half way..........

another AJ page, gelli print background using Deco Art Americana acrylics (red, orange, yellow and some light hauser green)

the image is a Rick St. Dennis Digi it's called Smilin Joe, he can be found here on zibbet and here on etsy

The digi is coloured using pencils and thought to give the guy a bit of a different skull colour, I like how he turned out.

The Ace of spades in his hat is the equivalent of the Death card in Tarot, so that's where the senti came from.  Some people are really scared when the Death card turns up, but it doesn't mean you  will die (well you will...... eventually ,but not cause you turned the card lol ). It stands for profound change, destruction and renewal, new situations, transitions, change of being and thought, separation, liberation, endings.

see you for day 16

31 days of Halloween day 14

I have altered a frame this time, I found this in a shop and the glass was out, (still in one piece but not attached to the frame anymore) so I could have it for only 1 euro LOL, the original plan was to use the pens inside the frame for a future project, but changed plan and decided to paint the frame and use the Rick St. Dennis Poe digi on this. 

 

the roses and the crosses are a tim holz die

there is some red and purple glitter glue on the roses

here you can see how big the cracks will be if you put a thick layer paint on

 

There were pieces missing on the frame so just had to make it look old

The orignal frame was dark brown, and some dents aside it was very smooth. So took out my Deco Arts Weathered Wood crackle medium and Metallic Lustres to play.

First painted the frame two layers of lamp black (Americana Acrylic paint) let dry between layers. when dry a layer of weathered wood let dry again. Then painted a sloppy layer of Berry Red (Americana Acrylic Paint). I wanted the black to shine through on some places of the frame, and by adding the red paint at some places thicker and thinner you get a different crackle structure aswell.

When the cracking was done and the paint was completly dry I protected the frame using matte varnish. When the varnish was dry I added the  black shimmer Metallic Lustre over the entire frame. Then took a baby whipe and started to remove the black shimmer but made sure to rubb it into all dents and crackles. As a finishing touch I put a little bit of Sparkling Silver Metallic Lustre here and there and this is the result

see you for day 15
