Dem bones...

I'm getting braver with mixed media, and making an effort to be a bit more adventurous each month, even if it's just for one or two layouts.

Over at Mixed Media Monthly, the October challenge is really fun!

 

I have chosen BONES, ORANGE and BLACK to incorporate into my layout.

I'm also playing along at Creative Embellishments with the Halloween themed picture and the addition of something metal.

So... this is what I did ~

1>  I stencilled all over the patterned paper with texture paste:



2> When it was dry, I brushed on some bright orange acrylic paint:



3>  I assembled my layout,  then inked up a CE chipboard shape and added some metal keys:


And this is my finished layout:



Mystical Scrapbooks is hosting a Tic Tac Toe challenge this month, and I'm joining in with the criteria of STENCIL + PAINT + CHIPBOARD.

October Afternoon Sasparilla - Dash Dalton patterned paper
