Nod to Wednesday - Deb Stephens

This project was a nod to the Comedy Horror series, Wednesday, that Netflix released in 2022. I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did and it inspired me to create this piece.

Stencil DA3576 (yet to be released) was used to apply texture to the sides of the canvas.  The bricks are a great sized small brick and the stencil is a welcome addition to my stash. 

DA2871 Brick Wall Border was painted and gritty texture added. 

DA3561 Alice elements #16 crooked branches,  and DA1344 – Lace Border #3  as the balcony were also painted and waxed. 

DA3117 – Zombie hands, DA3093 skull and bats and DA2224 Mini spiders were also painted and attached. The zombie hands set was great to create Thing!

I used DA0861 Alpha Set upper to spell out Nevermore Academy that was painted and glossed and attached around my fake stained glass window. 

I hope this project inspires you to create and play.

 

 

 

 

 

 

RIP - Vintage Witches - Pascale B Scrap

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.

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!!
