Spool Plinth Halloween Bottles

Hello,  

Mandy here sharing a Halloween themed project for August.

I created this project by altering a large wooden spool, altered with Lindys Stamp Gang Embossing Powder in "midnight copper", black lace by Papermania, sprayed white lace with "squeezed orange" by Dylusions.

The box part was created with thick cardboard/chipboard, I made a box that measures 4.5" x 2" x 3".

I painted both sides before I glued it together while flat with black craft paint.  I used Graphic 45's "An Eerie Tale" to cover both sides.  I created a scallop edge for the bottom with some purple paper from this collection too and a top pelmet with covered chipboard using  the "ornate" large die by Tim Holtz.

The top was covered with Prima flowers, a clock paperclip also by Prima and a skull.  The inside was done by filling a large glass bottle with a broken up skeleton and by colouring some Glossy Accents with "fired brick" Distress Ink reinker.  This was dripped over the bottle for a bloody effect.  I also filled a small bottle with the reinker.  I layered over paper labels using the embossing powder and tags from the paper collection.  Some black lace was used along with black gems to embellish.

I hope you liked this project and it inspires you to start your Halloween preparations.  Thank you for looking.  I have included a video on the kit I played with for this project so you can see the product that is available in the Cardz'n'Scrapz shop in more detail.

Tagged Card

Hello lovelies.

Happy July, hope everyone is enjoying their summer!  Today I am sharing my first project for July.  I created a card from our mixed media style kit this month.  I used the Prima tags bound together to create my card base.  I love how these tags allowed me to create a unique card shape.

I covered the front of my first tag with paper by Mod Podge and placed a layer of lace by Websters Pages over the top and sewed into place.  I also added some splashes of the beautiful  Luminarte Silks, vibrant paints & Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst.

The centre of the card has a journalling notecard by Prima, with lace added to the edges along with some ruffled trim by Papermania.

I added a banner from Autentique paper line in music notes.  The centre piece of my tag is the chipboard flourish from last months kit painted in Antik metallic liquid and silks.  I stamped the dress form stamp from Deep Red on patterned paper, cut out and layerd over chipboard.  for finishing touches to this I added some Prima resist canvas.  The top of card is created with wooden dolls wooden bunting also by Prima.  All finished with a sentiment epoxy sticker from Heidi Swapp.

Thanks for popping by, loves Mandyxxx

Mixed media Tag by Marta

Hello friends,

It's already July and holiday time ! For many of us it's time to relax and create :)

Today I would love to share with you my love for mixed media.
In visual art mixed media refers to an artwork in the making of which more than one medium has been used. I have mix few mediums today: gesso, gel medium, silks 6pk Autumn, inks and sprays.

The base is made with a tag from Prima.
The girl is a Prima wood doll for mixed media. Flowers and leaves are also from Prima laser cut embellishments. All of above was painted with silks.

 

The wording is from Cosmo Cricket Tiny Text stickers.

I hope you have enjoyed my mixed media creation. I know that for many crafters mixed media is still new and scary to try. Trust me once you will get some paint on your hands, make few splashes you will fall in love with this technique just like me :)

Sending you creative hugs,

Marta x
