A Mixed Media ATC

Having signed up for the Creative Jumpstart 2014 I have had a little play with new things and some new techniques (to me). The mixed media video by Anna Dabrowska was the inspiration behind this little canvas. My canvas is actually only 2"x3" but I mounted it onto an ATC base and used it as one of the ATCs swapped in the recent Haunted Design House swap. My partner now has it and therefore I can blog it.

First I gathered a load of likely candidates for sticking down

Then with extra heavy gel got down to sticking bits on. First layer dry - I used white gesso to paint all over. Still more needed. More sticking and gesso. Yep done.

To colour I used a mixture of perfect pearls in the crevices and Pan Pastel over the raised bits.

As I have already said - I needed this to be a bit bigger. Some more "bits" (broken jewellery and odd beads) to the ATC sized base. More Pan Pastels to colour, a length of fibre to "meld" and this is the final result

I am entering this into 

the Pan Pastel give away in CJS 2014 - use the sponsors product and/or household items

Good morning folks
How are we doing? Fed up and tired out yet? Not long to go, just over a week in fact.
A little ATC as my project for today.

A single stamp used here. One from a collection by Darcie's.
An ATC sized bit of heavy weight card with 6 layers of black EP applied. When still hot, the stamp with versamark on it was pressed in until cool.
The details of the stamp were picked out by painting with pan pastels then a light dusting of vintage plum gilding wax applied with finger tips.

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to look and comment on my Hallowe'en projects so far this month. Loves you all xx

Day 13 of 31 Days of Hallowe'en

For full deets on this Freaking fangtastic Blog hop organised by Smeared Ink and The Smeared and Smudged forum, please hop on over to Terra's blog. All the info on the days sponsors are there as well as any other info you think you might need.  The blog hop roll is there in my side bar.

Good morning folks.

First an apology for the quality of my pic. It was only when I came to schedule this post that I realised I had forgotten to take a photo when there was proper light. I will update tomorrow during the day.

A simple tag. Yes I'm taking the easy way out. The labour intensive projects interspersed with some quick and easy ones.

There is some stamping - top right and bottom left - some spider webs from Tattered Angels.
EDIT
well the tag photographed in this "daylight" isn't a lot different, slightly less glare

The tag base was debossed after applying versamark to the spiders on the embossing folder. Black pan pastel brushed into the hollows created. More pan pastel applied to the tag in various shades of olive and ochre with just a touch of violet. This was then sealed before stamping the webs and applying a burnt sienna tint.
The sentiment was cut from G45 "Steampunk spells" stack and the clock face (the supplying company has ceased trading) stuck down with glossy accents. The clock hands were given a lick of the violet pan pastel and a dab of copper before adhering these to show the witching hour is nigh.

Thank you for your continued support and fabulous comments.
See you tomorrow
