The Curious Case of Annabelle Franks...

Hope you all had a lovely weekend ~ I'm still suffering from this lurgy that seems to be going around at the moment and now, it looks as if I've spread the germs and my whole family have come down with it too!! Oops...as you can imagine, I'm not "little miss popular"! Oh dear....

In between sneezing, coughing and spluttering...I am still trying to get all my crafting jobs done but it's not easy but as always, I will get there ~ the fighting spirit of the Williams' will be victorious!!! :)

But in the meantime, here's a little something that I made earlier... "be afraid, be very afraid"!!!!!! LOL.
Once again, the backing papers and chipboard domino die cuts, are all from the 13th Hour collection from Kaisercraft and can be bought from the fab Merly Impressions. The title of this post, is actually from the backing papers. If you look closely you can just see the headline, which sets the scene for what came next.... *spooky*...
I added lots of chipboard die cuts of my own ~ the dress form, gothic boo, bats and 31 are of course, all from "Lord Tim Holtz" and the wings are from a gorgeous Sizzix die that I just couldn't resist. I painted all the chipboard with Eco Green paint. On the wings, I added a layer of PVA glue, let it dry and then painted over it with white paint to give this stunning crackled effect and on the dress form, I overstamped with one of the 13th Hour stamps.
As on previous posts, I made up the 3D rose and dipped it into UTEE.

As a final touch and to complete my artwork, I added a little phial, which I dropped some red pepper alcohol ink into.

So, I hope you liked my spooky little creation!!
For all those who are going to be celebrating Halloween tonight ~ be safe and have fun and for all those who aren't ~ have a lovely evening, whatever you may be doing!
See you soon!

Spooktacular

Hi everyone and hope you've all had a fabulous start to your week.

It's hard to believe that we are in the final week of October...dark nights are drawing in, the clocks go back at the weekend...eek, Christmas is coming too quickly!! Once Halloween and Bonfire Night is over...it will be the final countdown and at the moment, I am by no means ready!! Can someone tell Santa I might need an extension... lol

Oh well, what's not done this year, will have to remain that way and I'm sure that Christmas will be fabulous with or without the chutney, or the Christmas cake, maturing for six weeks. hehe...

But back to today and of course, it's Halloween next week and I thought it would be nice to count down with some "spooktacular" projects ~ and here's the first, I hope you like it!!
The basic shape of the door hanger is covered in one of the papers from the 13th Hour collection by Kaisercraft, which is available from Merly Impressions. I then die cut some chipboard using a selection of Tim Holtz's Alterations dies, the skull and bats, the leaf and twig and of course the birdcage and wings. I then painted them with black Eco Green acrylic paint. The wings have a coat of PaperArtsy's Fresco Finish Metallic Acrylic Glaze over them to give a shimmery effect.
I added some Glossy Accents and Rock Candy Distress Stickles, to the rose.
As final touches I added some seam binding, a message from one of Tim's stamp sets and a little bird from the 13th Hour chipboard shapes.




Before I go, just to let you know that the Making Cards Christmas Special is out very soon and it's all about a traditional Christmas and there's one or two of my projects in there too!! I even have one on the cover...that's it on the bottom right!! Yay...

Well, I'd better be going but I'll be around later to visit all your blogs and see what you've been up to.
Bye for now and have a lovely evening!
Love Emma
