October Expanding Your Options - Keri

Hi there, and welcome again to my Expanding Your Options series!

This month, I created a Poe-themed Halloween decor piece, layering art mediums & accents from each current & past Frog Dog kit.  The new products types in the mix this month are the embossing paste, embossing powder, and spray ink from October's kit.

Enjoy the video, and here's wishing you a crafty and fun-filled October, while it lasts!

Spooky Texture with the October Kit

This month's main project was such a joy to create...lots of spooky texture & color!

When I first received my kit, I began laying products out in a general idea of what I wanted to create:

The little details of this kit are so unique & fun, I couldn't wait to start altering the house:

I began with the stencil + embossing paste, then sprinkled the embossing powder on top:

After heat-embossing, I sprayed the house with Screamin' Banshee mist:

 

Then I sprayed Freaky Franken Lime over the top, letting the mist pool on top of the embossed sections:

 

I love the dark teal that was created by the combo of Screamin' Banshee + Freaky Franken Lime. To keep the spooky green as a highlight, I left the lime droplets to dry overnight, without blotting.

 I created a midnight-sky background with black paint and the embossing powder.  Then I distressed the moon with some ink, white spray mist, and my trusty Crackle Accents.

I love how the project came together.  I can't wait to frame it and hang it up for Halloween!
