BBTB2 Trick or Treat

 

Hi, Happy Monday! We are waking up to quite a storm here on the south coast of Britain!

 

Today is a new challenge over at BBTB2 and this week I am hosting the challenge, Halloween.

I made a luminaire with the Tom Holtz luminary die and decorated it with cricut cuts.

 

 

I used a combination of Create a Friend characters at 2"

 

The tree is Happy Hauntings at 2"

 

 

The DP is by MME - Mischievous.

Glossy accents and flower soft with a hot glue cobweb for texture.

 

 

I embossed the acetate windows, they just don't show so well in the piccies.

 

I added cauldrons and fence to the tealight.

The sentiment is from My Creative Time.

Pumpkin Canvas

Hi, how are you doing? Hope you had a good weekend.

 

Today my talented DT sister, Caroline, has asked us to use pumpkins in our challenge over at BBTB2.

I decided to make some home décor.

 



 

 

My canvas is 6 x 4.

I painted it with weathered wood and willow paints and added some walnut stain and spun sugar  distress ink and stencils.

My cuts were at 8" from Artbooking with the Autumn title at 5.25".

 

I added heirloom gold to my pumpkin.

Autumn Bronze Gilding Wax, you can click here to see my video tutorial.

Lancashire Rose Gilding Flakes, you can click here for my video tutorial.

 

 

I inked and scrunched my cuts.

Added lots of foam pads and silicone glue for dimension.

 

I loved how this turned out!

 

I know, picture heavy but they just don't do it justice!

Come and join us and see the wonderful inspiration the DT ladies have for you.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Gilding Flakes Tutorial

Hi ,hope you are having a great weekend.

I finally made time to show you a quick  tutorial for the gilding I did the other day.

 

There are lots of other companies that making gilding flakes and you can add them to any surface.

Christmas and Halloween Tim Holtz Luminaires and a Video!

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

I have the shop samples of the Tim Holtz Luminaires to share and a video with tips of how I put it together. Hope it gives some help for those of you have asked!

 

 

 

 

I used Halloween Shadows Decorative strip by Tim Holtz to embellish.

 

 

A little ink, paint and embossing enamel.

 

 

 

Hot glue cobwebs!

 

 

 

A rosette tree covered in white flower soft.

 

Embossed acetate and more snow!

Tim Holtz Stag Luminaire

Hello Everyone. Yes your eyes don't deceive you!!

I am desperately trying to get back to posting more regularly!!

 

I have the new Tim Holtz luminary die and decided to use it and play along at My Craft Spot .

 

 

There was a Pinterest photo for inspiration.

 

 

I took the earthy elements. My papers were based on the brown leaf in the foreground and touches of red and green to represent the foliage. My white stag picks out the white detail. I know the picture represents fall but I thought the winter tree with the stag worked perfectly too.

 

I wanted to show the star on top of the rosette tree.

 

I embossed the acetate that I added to each window.

The luminary is fiddly to put together but worth it!

I added washi tape for splashes of colour and a poinsettia die for the flower.

 

The pictures really don't do this justice.

Pickwell Farm Craft shop asked me to make shop samples with this die.

I will post the Christmas and Halloween luminaires with instructions at the weekend.

 

Thanks for looking.
