Reach for the grungiest colours and textures….
Come over to the dark side of Halloween
Can you scare us?
I created a doorway opening into a haunted chamber !
I started with a reverse canvas. I used Tim Holtz Industrial technique to dry emboss plumbers tape. ( The tape was stuck onto back card before I began.)Here are the pieces ready to cover the frame. I didn’t need to remove the staples or canvas because the embossed pieces covered it all.
I raided my stash of Grunge Board and found a textured piece which resembled wood, a skull and hinges. These would become the door.
The door had a coat of black Gesso then dry brushed with white. The hinges were covered in Decoart Sand Texture Paste and then stippled with various rusty colours of acrylic paint. Of course I used my favourite Quinadrone Gold!
The skull had several layers of heat embossing powder applied, I used Tarnished Silver. I added some to the hinges too.
I used layers of paint to create grungy rust soaked into the wood from the ancient hinges.
Inside the room is a shrine of decay. I used Graphic45 Eerie Tale papers to build a collage with layers of the elements, raised with foam dots..
The dome has 2 layers of Glossy Accents over it to create a glass effect, unfortunately it doesn’t show on the photos. The back of the door pull was covered with an Eerie Tale chipboard piece.
This was a fun project, I hope you enjoyed looking at it. I am looking forward to seeing what you make!
