Happy Saturday afternoon! Yikes! I haven't had a chance to use Mr Bones yet, so I just had to squeak in one more Halloween project.

I made the background a while ago by embossing Ornate from Tim Holtz' Ornate and Lace set. I just swiped it with shimmery layers of Prima paste wax. This goes from being grungy to glamorous depending on how you turn it in the light. Use your imagination here; I couldn't get it on camera.

I love Mr Bones all decked out in his moldy but shimmery top hat. I randomly heat embossed with clear powder, then Seth Apter's Dirty Sand. The actual skull is colored with Distress Oxide ink.

I love all this texture! Great texture from Tim's Laurel Impresslit and some char on the stamped document from Crackle Paint.

I added some faux stitching to the distressed background panel. And that concludes the Halloween crafting for this year!

Happy Halloween!

  18. I missed lots of your wonderful creations whilst Ive been away. This is so rich looking. I love the texture on the lush purple and the black leaves, so much detail a feast for the eyes even if Mr Bones only has one. x
