Pumpkin Scarecrow & Halloween

Pumpkin Scarecrow & Halloween

This week we have lots to inspire you with

for your Halloween makes and we start

with a project from

Dawn Heald:

I grunged up the Tando Creative Cobweb, 

by painting on a layer each of 

Crackle Paste, 

white Snowflake paint and Starlights Pearl paint. 

Allow each layer dry before adding the next. 

Finally I dabbed on Gunmetal Stickles.

I made a background board for the Web to go on. 

I did this by cutting a square of thick cardboard recycling a delivery box. 

Next I glued on layers of torn book pages. 

When dried I sanded the edges, 

then added stencil patterns with Grunge Paste. 

I put Grunge Paste around the edges too.

When dry I painted a thin layer of 

Starlights Orange Oxidised and Antique Pink paints

all over the board, allowing the book page printing to

show through in places.

Then I rubbed Alchemy Wax Lavender over the Grunge Paste.

To go with the Web, I made a spider with hat from Air Dry Clay.    

I painted the spider with Black Gesso and his boots and hat with Liquid Pearls.  

Also dabbed some Liquid Pearls and Gunmetal Stickles to the Spider   

Embellishments.

To finish I glued the Web, Spider and Embellishments 

to the background board and added some 

Stickles Glitter Glue lines for pieces of Web 

and some black gems.
