October 31 halloween mixed media canvas

Good morning! Today we have a HALLOWEEN themed challenge starting at Crafts 4 Eternity.

I have made a mixed media canvas.

The witch I cut out freestyle and her hat was made from a Tim Holtz Blueprint stamp. Her legs drape over the bottom edge of the canvas.

The fence on the right is a Memory Box~ Estate Fence die.

The 31 is a Sizzix die.

The spiders web was made with a Memory Box ~ Haunted Webs die. The spiders are stickers that I had in my stash.

The pumpkins up the left hand side were made with Rusty Pickle papers.

I've made a YouTube video, which goes into more details of the products that I used to build up the layers on this.

creepy crawly chilling thrilling HALLOWEEN

Good morning! This week at Crafts 4 Eternity our theme is creepy crawlies.

I've made another mixed media canvas.

I've got lots of layers on this: Gesso, Dylusions ink (cut grass), liquitex ink (vivid lime green),  crackle paste through a stencil, clear tar gel through a stencil, some stamping and rub ons. Phew! And that's just for starters.

The words: creepy crawly chilling thrilling Halloween, were part of an old stamp. I just stamped out the words and then cut them up.

The spiders webs are a Memory Box die which I die cut five times and placed around the canvas, wrapping them around the edges in places. The spiders were little stickers I had in my stash.

• Happy Halloween ~ Fairytale Challenges

watch out for spooks

Good morning! Today at Crafts 4 Eternity, we have a new challenge which is to use a harvest theme or element.

I have made a mixed media canvas with pumpkins. I used one of the workshops on Christy Tomlinson's Pumpkins and Cider course as my inspiration.

For the spider's web I used the Tim Holtz ~ Shatter stencil with Prima 3D Gloss Gel.

The leaves are by Prima and I sprayed Dylusions ink on them and scrunched them up a bit.

keep out ... mixed media door hanger

Hello! This week at Crafts 4 Eternity the challenge is to use three elements beginning with the same letter. I have: white, wood and words!

I choose to decorate a wooden doorhanger.

I started off with by covering the hanger with a layer of patterned paper, covered part of it with a doily and then got to work with stencils, paint and ink.

Then I used a Tim Holtz Halloween blueprint, which I stamped out several times on the same patterned cardstock which I had used as my base. I cut a few layers and layered it up.

Finally I added some words with a few stickers, which I distressed up a bit.

I am entering this in at the following challenges:

• U for Unique ~ ABC Challenge
