Happy Halloween!
I love the images associated with Halloween - they can be used in so many different ways to create projects from cards to home decor. For this month's Country View Crafts Challenges latest theme Something Spooky I chose to do the latter!
I took a paper covered frame and added many layers of Fresco Finish paint, including crackle glaze, and inks until it looked grungy and aged.
I then took a piece of calico fabric and painted it roughly with Snowflake. I then added a skull with Black Soot and Vintage Photo Distress Inks through a stencil and added a little more to the frayed edges of the material.
I stamped lots of images from Tim Holtz and PaperArtsy on Grungepaper and inked them with Antique Linen and Spiced Marmalade Distress Stains.
I am really looking forward to seeing your 'Spooky' designs so I hope you join in with us this month!

I saw this on the CVC site first and hadn't appreciated how dimensional it was - it looks fabulous. Not got much Halloween stuff, but I'll see if I can come up with something at some stage this month, lol!!
Fabulous make Gabrielle, the colours and images work beautifully on the frame, perfect for a Halloween decoration.

Fabulous piece, the skull looks amazing.
Goodness Gabrielle, you seem to have cornered the market in the macabre and ghoulish . Nice one.
