The Magic is you - Kerstin Filou

 

 Hello!

 

 I was inspired to create a new magical shadow frame, where I used some beautiful chipboards in nature look.

 Love these designs inspired by nature and you can find a lot of them at Dusty Attic.

(the added paper elements are from the Magic Forest collection by Stamperia)

 

 I used this magical  Gothic Arch

as frame in 3d look, that means I glued one part in background and the other on the front part of the shadow frame.

 For an old weathered look I use a crackle medium  with white gesso and some brown tones.

All other chipboards were first primed white gesso and then painted  with various brown acrylic paints. after drying, some highlights were set with white acrylic paint using an old wide dry brush

Mysterious Shadow Box - Kerstin Filou - Halloween special

 

Welcome creative friends! 

 Kerstin  here again to inspire you for the new Halloween chippies at Dusty Attic 

I was inspired to create a magical shadow frame and  thrilled when I discovered 

these amazing gargoyles and bats.

The long shadow box was perfect for me, depth gives the project more life. 

Gate was glued on with spacers, creating room for a spooky strange cemetery behind it.

I have only known gargoyles as water spout from old churches such as Notre Dame in Paris. 

They are dark creatures that only come to life at night, while they turn to stone and sleep during the day.

So they were perfect for a magical Halloween project, a real inspiration for me!!

In the latest Halloween series by Dusty Attic you can find so many inspiring chippies

HALLOWEEN

 that it's pure magic!!
