Creepy Crawloween

-
So I decided to make another Halloween frame, after purchasing DCWV Halloween stock and stickers and K&Company embellishments.  Here is a picture of the final frame.
the materials I used to make this frame are:
Plaids heart wood frame
Plaids apple barrel kiwi paint
Plaids folk art extreme glitter peridot
Plaids folk art extreme glitter silver
DCWV Halloween stock & stickers
K&Company embellishments
Cheese cloth
Hampton art pigment ink - black
May Arts #SY10
Artificial flowers from Michaels
Helmar 450
Helmar Zapdots 3D double sided adhesive in white


So the first step was to paint the entire frame with the kiwi color, once dried completely I painted the entire front of the frame with peridot and set to dry while I decided what papers to use and where and how they would go. Decided to use a small strip of paper on the side of the frame, my intention was to use more paper - but I really loved the paint all that beautiful glitter I just didn't want to cover it up so I went with as little embellishments as possible - I used Helmar 450 to adhere the paper to the frame.

I distressed the cheese cloth with the black pigment ink and decided to make a bow to which i added some of May Arts black chord also made a bow and glued over the cheese cloth and on top I glued some artificial flowers distressed with some inks in different tones of orange/pink colors (Martha Steward ink stamps)
The final step was deciding what and how to embellish the frame, and here is the final result, I loved the color of the paint so much that I wanted it to be the main focus and I think I got what I wanted - I really like this frame - it is now just waiting for a nice photo to go in the center!!

Handmade Holiday Ornament Swap with Charity Wings

I joined a handmade holiday ornament swap! we are supposed to make two ornaments - one to swap and one to donate to the Charity Wings auction tree. Once we signed up for this swap we were assigned a partner, my partner asked I sent her both ornaments since she volunteers at Charity Wings.  I made three ornaments, one was glass, so just in case something went wrong there will still be two ornaments left, one for my partner and one for Charity Wings. All the ornaments sent to Charity Wings will  decorate a tree to be displayed in the Art Center for a week or two, afterwards in early December they will auction off the whole tree to raise funds for all their worthy causes! Here are the ornaments I made:   a glass ornament covered with polymer clay in different colors and added some glitter by using Viva Decor glitter liners  This ornament is made of  SCULPEY® ULTRALIGHT™ , added a template to the clay by using  TRANSLUCENT LIQUID ...

Thanks to a post a friend shared on Face Book, I took a string of lights that sparked on me when I was trying to use them outside, so I took off all the bulbs and the spare ones too and decided to turn them into ornaments, I thought about making jewelry too but the ornament idea won.  All I did was paint them over using Viva Decor's precious metal paints in gold and silver, to most of the bulbs. As you can see on the photos below, l used Viva Decor's precious metal paints in gold and silver to paint the most of the orange light bulbs, to some I just added some glitter by using Viva's glitter liner pens in copper, gold and fuchsia colors.  I did use some distress glitter in red and green from Ranger.    Once dried, I added wire hangers to all the light bulbs, added some gold snowflake wired garland to the neck of the bulbs and I did go over all the bulbs with more glitter and paints to add designs and patterns adding interest and dimension. ...

If you didn't start from the beginning, please go back to Terri's blog,  http://terrisproul.blogspot.com  if not, please go back. You should have hopped here from Chris Hurley's blog at   http://www.stinkydogdesigns.blogspot.com/  and in case you get lost along the way there is a complete list to the right of everyone taking part of this hop. Now here is my card for today, I decided to go for a simple look. - I got some products in the mail not long ago and decided to use them on this card - the green paper you see is actually a wall paper product it has a marbled look already in gold and I decided to use my Viva Decor gold glitter pen in some areas to really bring out the gold.    The round circle on top was part of the shipment ,  I didn't make it, but it seems white paint  was added to a circle cut from heavy card stock (maybe) and a pretty star was stamped while wet - again I can only assume how it was made - but I liked it and though...
