Hello Horrifying Hoppers, and thank you for joining me on Day 18 of the Smeared Ink 31 days of Halloween Blog Challenge. If you're doing as expected, then you’ve arrived from Sarah’s blog - but the blog roll is on the right if you've lost your bearings.
Today I'm showing this bauble.
Today I'm showing this bauble.
I started by painting the inside of one half of the bauble with blue and purple glass paints, then I die-cut the house (and the gravestones in front of it - not very visible in the picture, but they are there!) from black shrink plastic and stuck them into the bauble with Milliput - I threw some Flower Soft and black flock powder over it while it was setting.
I stamped "Happy Halloween" (I think it came from De Stempelwinkel) in white Staz-On ink onto a strip cut from a shrink wrap bag ( I got mine from Amazon, originally for wrapping soap - they were very inexpensive) and then held it in place around the bauble while I heated it with a hairdryer. Finally I tied a length of thick Bakers' Twine to the top so I could hang the bauble from the stand.
So now, proceed, if you would, to Lisa F’s blog to continue the hop and I'll be back tomorrow.
Crafty Hugs,
Keren
