Specimens A and 213

Hello everyone!

I’m back to share my project inspired by the dark and mysterious October mood board at Mixed Media & Art challenge blog. I loved  the strong colours of our board, but most of all it’s subtle references to Halloween. That’s why I have chosen to create a couple of disturbingly odd looking tags.

I started with some 7 Dots Studio paper from the “Garden Party” collection and added a bit of Lindy’s mists and some stamping. I added some stencilling with a stencil and modelling paste, then I heat embossed it using a golden embossing powder.

My next step was to cut out small circles from the Photobooth pictures by Tim Holtz, to fit them into pendants and to cover them with the Crackle Accents in order to achieve this crackled glaze look.

I have also used some chipboard cobwebs by egoCraft.pl, a few metal embellishments and some art ingredients by Finnabair. For the finishing touches I added some splatters of white acrylic ink and two word stickers by 7 Dots Studio.
