Booooooo!

Hello, welcome to one of my favorite times of the year, Halloween!  I love all the ghouls, goblins and all things spooooookkkkyyyyy!  So I have chosen to do a canvas of a spooky halloween scene.  All the chipboard is from Southern Ridge Trading Co.  If you play along at the SRTC Blog Challenge you could win a $20 shopping spree at the Southern Ridge Trading Co shop!  It is the perfect challenge,  Fall!  Hope you play along for a chance to win some wonderful product.

Soooooo here is the project I did, started with a wooden frame, painted it with white gesso then turned it around to make a shadow box type frame for my scene.  Here is my layout before I got started.



I used black acrylic paint first and covered the frame then added Dylusions paint by Ranger with my fingers and just smeared it.   The colours I used were crushed grape, lemon zest, black marble, squeezed orange and white linen.   Then I added Old Silver Inka Gold to give it a distressed look.




I added Dylusions White Linen paint to the spider web and squeezed orange to the fence.  I added Black Sand Texture Paste from Finnabair, Art Extra Vagance, for the ground, black marble Dylusions paint to the trees and snow to the house.


I used lemon zest Dylusions paints for the moon and added glass and metal beads to the center.


I filled the littles bottles with fake blood and Dylusions cut grass paint and water for my blood and gooooo!  I added the little skull and bones I purchased from the dollar store.  The little bottles themselves are from Tim Holtz.  I used pop up springs for cards that I purchased from Close to My Heart, so the bat would pop about.  The bat and the ghosts are painted with Dylusions black marble and white linen paints.  The Keep out take is from the Dollar store.


I added the black cloth mesh, flours and orange embellies from my stash.


Finally I added cut grass and squeezed orange Dylusions paint on the sentiment and cut grass on the  house.  Voila, my spooky scene, hope you enjoy and thanx for stopping by.  See you next time.

I have entered my  project in The Outlaws Challenges.

Southern Ridge Trading Company - My Favourites!

Hello, I have been away for some time enjoying life and the summer sun.  Looks like fall is here so have the crafting bug.  I would like to let you know that I have been accepted on the Southern Ridge Trading Company Design team and I am soooooooo excited.  The theme this month is "My Favourites".  Today is my first post and my I am excited to share with you one of my passions, camping.  Oh and don't forget to go to the Southern Ridge Trading Company blog and see what amazing creations  the talented design team have for you.  

Here is my project for today.


All the dies and chipboard on my project are from Southern Ridge Trading Company.  I added molding paste, stencils, paint, burlap and so much more.   Here are some pictures of the multimedia board in action.



It's always a good idea to lay out what you want to use and play with it until it is exactly how you want it.  I learned from wise friends to always take a picture so you remember where you wanted things to go.  Priceless advise.  I painted the board with white gesso.


Now to add some texture and colour.  I used various sprays, burlap ribbon and molding paste over a Tim Holtz stencil.


I added more molding paste over stencils, which names escape me at the moment, and added clouds with Snow Texture. 


I couldn't help myself, had to add a marshmallow.  I used white liquid aplique and heated it with a heat gun until it puffed and started to burn, turning some bits brown.

Voila, finished product.  Please feel free to play along at the SRTC blog.

Spring Challenge! SRTC

Hello, I thought I should pop in and let you know I have not given up on crafting, giggle!  Life is so full and wonderful I just have not been in the craft room much and now of course, it needs cleaning before I can get crafty.  Welllllll, I went to a crop and this is the first time eva that I started and finished a canvas or project for that matter.  Yippy Skippy for me!  I used all South Ridge Trading Company chipboard.  Since the first thing I have thought of doing this spring is camping and fishing, I thought it fitting to enter the Spring Challenge at Southern Ridge Trading Company.  Here is the layout, getting ready to get painted and inky!



I added the sun, grass, Sentiment, splotches and dragonfly by using stencils and gesso.


I painted the whole piece with gesso then added yellow gelato to the gesso and painted the sun and rays.


I added blue gelato to the gesso and voila!


I did the same with the rest of the piece by adding brown, green, then added white gelato mixed with water over the lettering.  I rolled cotton gauze, added gesso then cut it to fit for the rope on the fence of the dock, hat band and chair.  I added feathers to to the flies and wire for fishing line.  I added clear crackle to give the dock and water some texture and shine,   I used stickers to add the name above the Gone Fishing sign.  My husband loved it and we plan to put it in the travel trailer.  Thanx for stopping by.
