That Craft Place October Challenge : Haunted House

                                                            Hi All

Autumn is here and as the air grows cold and days grow shorter, its time to think about halloween, rich orange and red tones and good old fashioned hammer house horror movies. To get you in the mood i have a large MDF freestanding haunted house to show you complete with little ghouls.

I got this effect by layering black acrylic paint on the house,yard and base before coating with a crackle medium. on the house and yard i painted with pale grey then one coat of crackle medium and then black paint to get that decrepit effect.

For the yard i mixed dark green paint with brown and them painted it over the black.The roof is one coat of lilac,crackle medium and then purple.

That Craft Place Anything Goes September Challenge.

Hi all

I am back with another project for That Craft Place and this time i have an altered 6x6 album. I  needed somewhere safe to keep all my ATCs from the swaps.

I used the 6x6 cogs stencil mask to create a 3d background and then painted the whole cover back and front in DecoArt Crackle Paint. Then i spritzed DecoArt Purple and Magenta misters over the cover and blended the colours with a sponge dabber.

I used assorted paper flowers from various Trimcraft ranges and dyed some white flowers with misters.

I added a few pearls and sparkles to the cover.

The 6x6 album comes with the word create and cogs to decorate it but i will use the cogs later.

For the inside i used plastic cd sleeves as the ATC pockets wouldn't fit inside the album.

That Craft Place Steampunk Digi stamps

Hi all 

I am back with a few steampunk themed cards i made using the digi stamps from That Craft Place.

I love airships and enjoyed colouring this image. the backing papers are also available in the That Craft Place Etsy shop.  I used the cogs stencil over the top part of the card, coated it with texture paste and spritzed it with Vintage Sepia misting spray.

Here is a closer look at the digi stamp

Here is my next card, the image would be great for a masculine card and can be adapted to suit any design.

That Craft Place Anything Goes August 2nd Challenge

Hi all

i am back with another DT project for That Craft Place Challenge Blog. If you would like to join our mixed media challenge then link up your blog to http://thatcraftplaceblog.blogspot.co.uk/ for a chance to win some goodies.

I have a layout to share this month and i will start off with a bit about how to build the background. 

I started by using the mini squares stencil mask and then painted over it with DecoArt Crackle paint.

 Once dry  i took  three spritzing inks: Artiste Cardinal Red, DecoArt Purple Mister, DecoArt Magenta Mister and spritzed them on to the page. I then spritzed water over them and let the colours run into each other and added even more ink and let it run down the page. I finished off the background by using texture stamps and stamping them arounfdthe page randomly.

I used a wooden frame from the That Craft Place shop and painted it with crackle paint before spritzing with inks. To stop the page bubbling up spritz water onto the front and back of the page as you dry it with a heat gun.

I used a photo of my Nan and Grandad

I spritzed white paper flowers with misters

I added lace and textile in between  the paper layers to add texture and painted the MDF word to use as a title.
