Hello and welcome! Today I'm dipping my toes into the Halloween season's pool -- not quite Halloween, but with some of the colors and words you might expect at one of my favorite times of the year.
I altered this tiny panel and easel I found at a house we will eventually knock down and rebuild. I think it had a creepy Holly Hobby design on it. Easily covered with black gesso and crackled with several crackle glazes (I used Tim Holtz Clear Rock Candy Crackle paint and DecoArt crackle glaze.) I'm nearly at the end of my last hoarded bottle of CRC, and this causes me much distress. Is that even available anymore?
The Halloween Paper doll is colored with Distress crayon, and the Bouquet flowers with oxide sprays and Black Soot paint.
To highlight the cracks, I spritzed with Distress Oxide Sprays; Wilted Violet and Faded Jeans. I dried and wiped off the excess.
The die cut tree is from the newly released Ghost Town Thinlits set cut from a scrap. The quote is a Halloween Clippings sticker, the spooky flashcard and warning sign are from one of the old Halloween Ephemera packs. Crackle is compliments of DecoArt, highlighted with crayons and ink.
I even made sure the easel was crackled. There's been so much Halloween inspiration on the blogs, it's hard not to be inspired. But this summer heat is kind of putting a damper on the spooky atmosphere in my neck of the woods. I hope you're staying cool where ever you are in the world! Hugs and Blessings! Sara Emily
