Halloween Art

Hello lovely peeps! I have done a Tag trio with Andy's amazing new stamps. 

With lots of lovely Deco Art media paints, pastes & potions! Plus a little 

bit of triple embossing Just for me! I hope you all enjoy the this post

using Andy's new stamp set Bird's and Bones.

So I used the following Tando creative products, Andy Skinner Industrial elements,
and the Tando's greyboard size 10 tag.  These have an amazing capacity for
mixed media projects of all kinds they don't buckle or bend with media
products such as pastes, paints, water, glazes and can be painted and sanded.

Top Tag

• Take the centre of the door hanger's frame (primary Elements set)put a hole in the top & paint it black. 
• Cover in versa mark ink and follow with gold embossing powder, heat set
• Repeat the above step with chunky clear embossing powder.
• Do this a third time with gold, heat setting at each stage.
• Ink up your chosen stamp with versatile onyx black.
• Heat your tag with your gun until molten then working quickly push your inked stamp in leave a second then peel of.

• Coat with black antiquing cream knock back when dry follow with patina.
• Polish up so that the gold shows through.
• The letters were made with art moulds and paper clay.
• I painted them Deco Art media fluid acrylic Raw Umber.
• Antiquing cream in patina black and white.
• brushed with pearl lustre to get the metal look. 
• Edge in area's with quinacridone gold.

Here's a photo of all three spread out. 

You can just make out the edging that I did with quinacridone gold to make a hint

of rust to the corners.
