I was inspired to create a new Home Decor piece

as a Halloween gift. 

The colors from our monthly Moodboard were a perfect match for it.

I love to create

 with this funny spook, a lot of fantasy, in a dark foggy robe. 

 

 

I used a background paper from La Blanche as base,

glued a cut out from spooky house on cardboard,

with  Gothic Fretwork

I created some 3D effects e.g. a balcony. 

By decorating with the chipboards the whole house 

looks much more alive.

I hope you find some inspirations!

I had a lot of fun with this amazing Halloween chippies and especially love 

that you can tell such imaginative stories with them.

 

 

Thanks for your visit!

 

Happy crafting!

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new Halloween project. 

I glued a paper tissue on the canvas. Next, I added two designs with Graphite paste and two stencils. When dry, I colored the background with Whale Watch Blue and Hockey Puck Black 

I primed all the chipboards with white gesso, except the spiders and the frame which I primed with black gesso. I added a tiny amount of black to the white gesso to give a lightly gray tone to the Samll Zombie hands and the Small Gothic Fretwork.

I mixed white crackle paste with black gesso to obtained a gray crackle paste that I used to cover the Headstones and the stone from Cemetery Gates #1 Small. For the grid, I used the Rust effect paste set. 

For the Potion Bottles I colored them lightly with different shades of blue and green, then covered them with clear crackle paste.

I covered the spiders with Glossy accent and the Ornate Frame #3 with Raven Black sparks, then with clear crackle paste.

To finish, I added some black glitters.

Halloween ATC Shadow boxes - Pascale B

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a set of Halloween ATC shadow boxes. 

I primed all the ATC Shadow Boxes with black gesso. Next, I added Graphite paste inside the boxes and clear crackle paste on the outside. When dry, I highlight the crackles with silver wax.

I painted the Web Corner #2, the Zombies Hands, the Mini Pumpkins, the Mini Headstones, the Mini Potion Bottles, and the Gothic Fretwork Small with Linen Impasto that I mixed with more or less black gesso. The spider, the bats, and the base of the Candlesticks were covered with black gesso. 

Cemetery: On the Small Crocked Fence #2, I used the Rust Effect Paste set. I add some green paste on the Mini Headstones to mimic the moss. I added some moss at the bottom of the Shadow Box, then the Headstones and the Zombies hand, and finally, the crocked Fence

Pumpkins: I colored the Mini Pumpkins with orange and brown liquid acrylic. I covered the base of the Candlestick with Old Silver wax. I covered the spider with Glossy Accent and a touch of gold wax. I glued the candlesticks in the background, the pumpkins, and finally the web with the spider. 

Magic potions: I covered all the bottles with clear crackle pastes. When they were completely dry, I added some colors to the bottom of the potion bottles. I glued them inside the shadow box and added some lichen. To finish, I add the Gothic Fretwork and bats that I covered with 

To finish all the shadow boxes, I added black glitter.
