Hi everyone! It has been a busy week (okay month) around here...but so many things to look forward to! New classes have been created for my fall teaching schedule. So much time and planning goes into the the process (especially Christmas kits). Please check the side bar to see if you can make it to a class in CA, TX or Florida. Yes, kits will be available for some classes (more on that later).
The project today revolves around the new Tim Holtz Halloween die - Jack-o-Lantern. Follow along and I'll show you what I made!
I pulled all the burlap off a 6 x 8" Burlap Panel leaving the wood sides and masonite front. I painted all the edges (and a bit onto the front) with Black Soot Distress Paint.
I used Grungeboard to cut the two pumpkin shapes from Jack-o-Lantern die, then painted them with Distress Paint in Rusty Hinge. Once dry, I added a THIN layer of Glossy Accents and a layer of Distress Glitter in Rusty Hinge to match the painted background. The green stem is Peeled Paint Distress Glitter and the paper is from Regions Beyond Paper Stash.
I adhered one of my favorite papers from the stash to the masonite panel, leaving a little black edge showing. I made sure to cover the paper with a thin coat of Multi Medium to seal it. I positioned the Jack-o-Lanterns on the surface (no glue yet) but I think it needs more interest....thinking...
