Just because I felt like it!... D

Hello everyone.  Hope you are all enjoying the weekend.  I know I am.. craft is the name of my game lol.

I had just finished a large project which will be going live in a couple of weeks and wanted to do something different.  I love skeletons and have recently acquired Andy Skinner's Skull mask - I just had to break open that packet and get stuck in lol.  It also serves as a birthday card for one of my sons.  They just love this kind of thing instead of a card.
I had a collage frame lying about.  I gessoed and then painted it with black acrylic.  I lay the mask just as it is and used modelling paste mixed with bronze acrylic paint to cover the entire mask.  I wanted the 3 different skulls in the corner. I stamped and copper embossed my dancing skeleton above the skulls.  The edges of the frame was stamped and heat embossed using spider and web stamp.

I randomly wiped an ink pad down the left hand side of the frame and embossed with copper.  Whilst it was still hot I placed yellow beeswax pellets and mica fragments over the top.  I heated it to melt point and left to dry.  I sprayed over the entire project using various metallic sprays to give it all a lift.  I then used quite lightly heather rub n buff over the skulls and then used mica powder in gold, white and bronze to give a subtle effect.

Now for mother overload of pics!





I do hope you have enjoyed visiting my blog and I hope you will visit again real soon.
