Ephemoire True Crime Themed Artist Trading Block

Hi all 

I am back with an artist trading block to share today.

I apologize for the video as i was recovering from the dreaded lurgy at the time of filming.

Here is the video

I painted the block with black gesso and then added paper to the background. I used the Bonafide paper set and cut them to size using a square nesting die. 

I forgot to mention that on the video.

I then applied a stencil mask and once the modeling paste had set, i sprayed it with red mist spray.

To get the pictures to fit, I cut out the people and glued them on.

This was a cheap plastic halloween garland with skeletons on. I cut them up and glued their bones to the block.

The blood drips are made using a red hot glue stick and a die cut as a mould. 

The feet are some beads shaped like poison cans.

I have a tutorial showing you how to alter a few bookmarks using printables from Ephemore.

I used the  Human and Animal Bones Clipart set

Cover the bookmark with red paint and leave it to dry before adding a layer of crackle paint.

Once this has set, Spritz the bookmark with red ink and then ink around the edges in red.

Print out the images from the  And cut out the pieces.

Adhere them to the bookmark using heavy gel medium to paste them down.

I painted the back red and then used a stamp .

Thread copper whire through the hole in the top and twist the wire around itself using pliers.

Thread beads on to the copper wire and then use pliers to curl the end up into a hook. Add a charm and then  twist the copper over itself to seal it up.

Here are the finished bookmarks

I am back with my DT make for the June challenge over at Delicious Doodles. You can join the challenge here http://deliciousdoodleschallenge2.blogspot.co.uk/

I used the Gothic Grunge 8x8 paper pack from Lelli-bot crafts for the layers. It comes with the toppers and sentiments that can be cut out and used as well.

I used the Creepy Crawlies Tattoo page and shunk it down so that it can be used as a topper.

I added a little spider charm onto some beading elastic and thread him through the back of the card so he dangles.
