Welcome to Day 11 of the 31 Days of Halloween
Who let the Skeletons out of the closet???
Here's what I did.... I started off by painting a piece of with cardstock using Art Anthology's Limeaid Velvet Dimensional paint. I applied the first layer and let it dry then I went back in and added a second layer using a bit more paint so I could leave visible brush strokes in the finished look.
I then used a paper punch to make a slimy looking border. Looks so cool in person because all of those brush strokes makes it look icky - LOL!!
I took a piece of the textured cardstock from Lucy Crab Shack and highlighted the pattern using several colors of Gelatos which I smeared around with my finger.
I then printed out the skull from the collage sheet - Halloween 1950's in multiple sizes, cut them out and affixed them to the card in layers - some glued directly to the card panel, others mounted using double stick foam tape for depth and dimension.
And finally I made this fun skeleton flower using Bazzill Paper Flowers and a fun skull bead!
Supplies Used:
Art Anthology - Limeaid Velvet Dimensional Paint
Altered Pages: Collage Sheet - Halloween 1950's; Bazzill Basics - Two Scoops Sandables - Lucy Crab Shack; Black Cardstock; Bazzill Paper Flowers; Skull Bead; Skull Ribbon; Gelatos
