Happy Halloween Mixed Media Canvas

Hi everyone. I have recently taken up mixed media and wanted to share my first project. It only measures 5"x7" but it was perfect for a first project. 

For the background I used black acrylic paint and watered it down. Before it dried I dabbed it with a paper towel and it gave it a cool marble type effect. 

After that dried I made some blood drips using the Golden high flow acrylic paints in Quinacridone Red. All you have to do is stand the canvas up and pour the paint on the top edge. It flows down quite nicely.

Next I added a spider web svg cut from the Gimme Candy Boxes kit at svgcuts.com.

I added a Happy Halloween card from an old paper stack that I had and outlined it with some red oil pastels. 

Next I added some bats and finally I added some clear Wink of Stella to give it some sparkle. You can't really see it on the photo but the bats and spider web are quite shiny.

Being that this is my first time doing mixed media I'm really happy on how it turned out. I might be addicted.

Happy Halloween-Treat Cards

Happy Halloween! Today I have a few treat cards I made for my daughter’s friends. I got this idea from Getting Inspired on youtube. You can find the video here. The cards were so much fun and easy to make. The only hard part was to stop making them. They’re addicting!
On this first photo I used papers from Recollections and Me&My Big Ideas. The digi stamps are from the Cuddlebug Cuties blog, Ladybug from Pink Cat Studio,Witchy Kitty from Some Odd Girl and Hallobean from the Greeting Farm. Unfortunately Ladybug and Witchy Kitty are both retired.


On the next two photos I used the same paper packs and clip art from Miss Kate Cuttables. I love the fact that Miss Kate Cuttables sells each file in .jpeg, .png and .svg  for a very low price. So you could use the file as clip art or use your cutting machine. Awesome! I love that website!

Here’s what the backs look like. A full size candy bar will fit in the pocket but it’s much more fun to get more than one candy.


Unfortunately I forgot to take photos of the inside of the cards but I assure you that they’re very cute.
I hope you have a very happy and safe Halloween.
Thanks for stopping by,

More Halloween Cards

Here’s a couple of more cards I would like to share.
First up is the cutie pie Witchy Tia from SomeOddGirl.com. She’s so adorable!
On the second card we have the pretty Hallo Witch from The Greeting Farm.
I used digi stamps on both cards and colored them with Artist Loft colored pencils from Michael’s. I used Turpeniod to help blend in the colors. Papers are last years collections from Recollections and K&Company.

I’ve been having so much fun making cards that sometimes I forget to make dinner. That’s what takeout is for right?
Thanks for stopping by.

Halloween Projects

Yay! I finally bought batteries.
Here is my very first table runner. I had some left over fabric from last year and just pieced them all together. It makes me nervous to try any kind of surface quilting so I just didn’t do it. Do you know what the best part of this project was? My husband actually liked it. Yay for me!

Next I made a card. I love this card! I used  K&Company and Recollections paper from last year and die cuts from svgcuts.com. The little bat is a clear stamp from Recollections. Have I mentioned I love this card? Hmm, I might just keep it.

I hope everyone’s Halloween projects are in full bloom. I can’t wait to get started on Christmas projects. Thanks for stopping by.
