6" Halloween Sign by Not Just Frames

 Hi Friends!

Today I share this 6" Halloween sign by Not Just Frames.


I always open the kit and lay it to help figure out how it goes together and what colors I would like for the design.

I know I want the piece on the left to be stained and I want to include some neon colors. I love neon and use it a lot for Halloween and Summer projects. 

I don't always feel like going outside with some real stain so today I am using a brown acrylic paint. I add some water to it and apply it to the sign. I wipe off access moisture and do it again. 


I decide I want it to be even darker than that and maybe a little grungy but not too grungy. I did the same thing as the brown but with black. Instead of wiping it off, I blot it off then set aside to dry. 


I chose to add yellow neon under the bats and moons piece and pain the top of the circle and that piece purple. I chose neon orange for the letters. Gray for the bats. I painted the ghost white but also added glow-in-the-dark paint as a top coat.


All glued together! Look at the beautiful neon! And when the lights go down....


You can get one here and also check out all the other 6" circles to choose from.

There is also a stand you can order for them. I already have a log that I got from my woodpile and put a hook on it.

CRAFT Challenge Blog #731

 Hi Friends!

This week's CRAFT Challenge Blog theme is Christmas


This week's sponsor is: Polkadoodles and the design I am working with is Elvis Wesley Moose

I started with a white card panel. 


I chose two shades of blue ink and applied them in a splotchy pattern. I didn't want a solid blue panel. 


I think sprayed water on it to make the ink a little more splotchy. This will also help the next step of using a snowflake embossing folder to get some snowflakes on there.

I then used water color to add some pearly shimmer splatter too.


I love the Kuretake Tambi paints!


Look at that shimmer!


I printed out the design from the sponsor and use my Silhouette Cameo to cut it out. I used Spectrum Noir and Tombow alcohol markers to color in the design. I added a sentiment on a strip and some plastic snowflakes for added bling.

This was a quick card to make, so quick I didn't take pics while I made it. The sentiment and the pumpkins are by Lawn Fawn. I drew the faces on the pumpkins. The background paper is from Sparkleberry Ink. Supply list below.
