Prima October BAP

I'm playing along with the October BAP over at Prima. Here is the sketch this month!

Here is my take on the sketch!

I used some Prima papers in my stash "Fairy Flora"

that I have been keeping on hand for just his occasion!

• I used Prima stamps in the background along tattered angels mists
• The letters are Ranger Grungeboard Large letters. I had this idea in my head of this photo I took a long time ago of my daughter doing an okay sign over her eye. 
• The flowers, chipboard, mistables and resins were all goodies from past Scraps of Elegance kits.

Round Robin

Scraps of Darkness

I'm playing along with the round robin this month and I am following Jenny who followed Kathy!

I have used my 

Scraps of Darkness 

Morticia's Wish kit

 for

 October

This is a photo of a chair in my yard. An old wicker one that's a bit falling apart. Very primitive looking. I added a black and white action in photoshop and made this favorite chair of mine "creepy chair"

• I used molding paste and distress inks with the same mask. I dripped some orange tattered angels for splashes of color
• All the goodies on the page were included in the kit
• I cut the gate out by hand. It came from one of the Graphic 45 papers

The chipboard frame is Dusty Attic. I painted it black then went over it with gesso.

Tag Swap

I'm hosting a tag swap over at SOD and my partner is Kathy from Alaska! 

I created my tag using the Scraps of Darkness Morticia's Wish kit

This image was from some of the Graphic 45 papers in the kit. I also used a resist technique on the tag.

I used a stamp with white embossing powder and then rubbed my distress ink pads onto a craft mat. I then spritzed the mat with water and rubbed the tag in it. I blotted the tag with paper towels. 

Very easy and fun to do. :)

This is the back of the tag!

Hope Kathy likes it.

Thank you for stopping in to see my "stuff"

I hope you enjoy and leave here inspired.
