Oh Golly Golly Golly!!! Where do I start? What an honor it is to be one of the newest members of such an amazing design team!! I want to congratulate the other 2 new members and am soo excited about all the goodies you are going to be seeing here on the AP blog. If you haven't already noticed there is some amazing art happening here by some very talented artists using some amazing products from AlteredPages.com!! Right now with the holidays so close I can bet you are going to see even more awesome goodness or maybe I should say some SPOOKY goodness over the next few weeks!! I am getting chilled to the bone (in a good way of course) just thinking about it! Speaking of bones, Have you checked out the wonderful Halloween collage and stamp sets? If you haven't you really need to check them out, I did and looky looky what happened!!
I love old bottles and what better way to decorate for the upcoming gruesome holiday than with old Gothic apothecary bottles. This was so fun and check out the use of the Gothic skulls from the "Gothic" stamp set found here.
I fussy cut the image and added some distressing then used some crackle medium to give it an aged effect. The bottle was an old wine bottle covered with texture paste, then allowed to dry and then painted over using gesso, paint, some brown espresso ink mist then rubbed down with a little Inka Gold metallic rub
I created the skulls out of sculpy and adhered to the bottle added a little gauge distressed with more espresso ink and a skeleton key and there you have it, Uncle Bones Skull Polish!!
Perfect addition to my Halloween décor.
Well, that's it for this Tuesday. I hope you will join me each Tuesday here on the AP blog as I get to turn my artful muse loose here again.
