I'ts my turn to share my second piece for the Country View Crafts Spooky challenge, so you know the routine, lots of piccies, and not so many words.
You can tell I made this a while ago, it was still the middle of Summer. All the paints and mediums are by DecoArt and the stamps are by Stampendous.
The door has been painted front and back with DecoArt Americana Chalky Finish paint in white and blue to give a peeled paint effect.
Then a coat of Quin Gold Media Acrylic to age it.
Lots more washes of Media Acrylic to give it a more worn effect.
The stamp around the edge is also by Stampendous and it's called Chilling.
On the reverse of the door I stencilled the Andy Skinner stencil with white Modelling Paste and stamped with Andy Skinner stamps.
A little bit more stamping.
This is my favourite bit, I wanted my Skeleton Lady to be there when you opened the door, so she's been stamped on acetate and highlighted with a white gel pen.
I love that you can see right through her. Little things and little minds lol.
This is how it looks with the door shut, kind of spooky....
Well done, you've made it to the end, give yourself a badge!
Please join in with our spooky challenge, there's a chance to win £20 to spend in the shop.
I'm also entering this into the Lost Coast Designs Scary or Weird challenge, and Dream In Darkness anything goes (except cute).
Thanks very much for looking and have a very happy (or spooky) week xx
