Halloween party

By

Fantastic and beautiful Crafters Workshop stencils were the inspiration for my piece this month. I was enchanted by the amazing and varied stencils from Gabrielle Pollacco at TCW . I wanted to go colourful (as I usually do ) and here is the result.

Journal page for Altered Pages with TCW by June Macfarlane.
The journal page background was created with various Acrylic paints mixed in blue, yellow and green. I literally just 'Made a mess '.                                         
After drying with a heat-gun I chose the 'Crazy waves' stencil from TCW  and used more paint in the same colours but deeper hues over the stencil randomly rather than exact as the stencil is. 


I decided to brighten it more and add a little sparkle for the 'party atmosphere', I used gel pens, Wink of Stella and white paint pen for the doodling.

Next it was time to 'holiday it up' I chose the fabulous Dead Skulls collage #3136 fussy cut around each piece before adhering with a Glue Stick. 

Lastly I added some bling with the blue sparkle accent embellishments. randomly between the images
                 

Please join the fun for Halloween this month with Altered Pages and The Crafters Workshop  TCW.  See lots of fabulous projects from the design team Artists.

Thanks from June

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
