All the spooky things are coming, they are creeping and they are ready to get you!
I just got my first batch of creepy dies and I have been "dying" to use my new Twist and Style Tool from Eileen Hull. This tool can do so much. It can be used to create dimension, jewelry, mixed media, borders! Explore your creativity. Click on the link above for Details.
Beware the Zombie
So I literally have no idea what I'm going to make with my new dies and the
Twist and Style Tool. I am loving how easy and fast it is though. WOW!
I haven't used my
Flower Pocket die yet. Seems like a good option... especially with a Zombie popping out.
I used my long strand of wire to write "BOO"
OK, lets try distress crayons on Kraft Resist.
Don't forget... these dry quick so don't apply the colors then blend. Bad... I am demoing so you'll know! Yep... that's me not screwing up! Anyway, once I fixed my "teaching" moment I exposed some of the resits. Ohhhh... Ahhhhh!
Lookie... the Crazing worked. A lot of smearing and spritzing.
I ink a lot of my own paper. So here's a thought... save it for little cutting jobs like the
Handwritten Halloween "Beware". Add some
Fall Foliage cuts. Secret... I cut these up in batches with my fall color distress paper. Then I leave them in a container... waiting.
Groan...
I attached the Boo on top.
I usually make my own pinecones. But I do like to collect the wee ones.
The things scraps can turn in to!
The pre-cut Fall Foliage is a time saver.
Check out this
SNEAK PEEK from
Emerald Creek Craft Supplies... a creepy spider charm inked with honeycomb and meadow alcohol inks. These Creepy Crawlers will be available in September.
So, some of the twisted citron got caught in his mouth. Or is that ZOMBIE FOAM!
Bring on the FALL Crafts!

DeleteJeepers creepers!! What a awesomely frightening piece!!!!!

DeleteLOL Nicole, that is fabulous! And of course Eileen's Flower Pocket die should have a zombie popping out of it, makes perfect sense to me :OD Love that you formed the word BOO from the Twist and Style wire and love the Distress crayons on the resist paper. Thanks for sharing this great tutorial and I too am a firm believer in keeping every single little scrap of Distress coloured paper because you never know when it will come in handy ;O) Deb xo
ReplyDeleteGotta keep those scraps! Especially if you made the paper!
