Halloween Mdf makes

My craft room is starting to look a little bit spooky.

The base mdf  is from Daisy Jewels and crafts

I added texture paste through stencils and painted black before glueing the tombstone to the base.

 I added a couple of extra side fences and some plastic spiders.

I then broke up some small pieces of wood, actually they were the little pieces that come with box canvases, that I don't really know what they are for. I stained them and glued into a pile with moss mixed in and a couple of hands reaching out from the grave.

I stamped a new stamp from Indigblu called cracked glass on the grave stone as I thought it looked like spider web. As I was sticking pieces into place using a glue gun, I draipped the stringey bits across the sides.

These 2 little tealight boxes were painted first before glueing together and then I added glow in the dark paint to the ghost bats and spiders.

For the haunted house I stencilled first with texture paste, then painted with a couple of colours of starlight paints. the ghost and graves also got a wash of glow in the dark paint. 

Think I might add a little bit more to this one, some moss and extra embellishments maybe.

Festive makes

Here's some of the projects I've been making over the last couple of months. They were very good sellers at my Christmas fairs and also in the craft shop were I display some of my makes.

I named the range Winter Woodland. It consisted of various designs on slate hearts, log slices and wood hearts. Lots of woodland creatures, robins, squirrels, deer, fox, and other birds. 

Thanks for looking, come back tomorrow to see some more of my festive makes.

Home is where our hearts belong

Morning all, 

for today's creation I have made a decorative mdf heart. 

Firstly  I covered the heart with Blissful paper in peach by Anna Marie Designs. I added strips of different designs from the same pad in a criss cross pattern.

 

 Next I added an arrangement of flowers, stamens, a chipboard butterfly, a metal butterfly, a couple of pearl pins, glitter droplets and a metal /enamel button embellishment.

I stamped and embossed a sentiment 'Home is where our hearts belong' and finally splattered some white paint and dusted lightly with irridescent glitter.

It actually looks quite glittery in real life, but it doesn't show up on the picture.

I will be entering this into these challenges
