Happy Halloween to YOU!

HALLOWEEN

A gentle breeze rustling the dry cornstalks.
A sound is heard, a goblin walks.
A harvest moon suffers a black cat's cry.
Oh' do the witches fly!
Bonfire catches a pumpkins gleam.
Rejoice, it's Halloween!

It's Our Final Day of Our Clearsnap Blog Hop!!

Today wraps up our week long Halloween Blog Hop with Clearsnap!

Clearsnap is known for their endless array of inks and stamps pads along with their new addition of their

Smooch Sprays and Inks! 

We have to tell you...once you try them...you'll want to "collect" all the colors now available!

Today we have projects from Designer Julie Walton and some Halloween decor to spruce up your home before Monday!!  

Halloween Frame

Designer: Julie Walton

Epiphany Crafts Supplies:

Round 25 Studio Shape Tool, Round 25 Bubble Caps

Round 14 Studio Shape Tool, Round 14 Bubble Caps

Star Felt Settings

Other Supplies:

Clearsnap Smooch Spritz

Smooch Inks

Halloween Frame is an altered frame. I used the Smooch Spritz on the outside edges of the frame in purple and on the inside edge of the frame in orange and then beefed the color up with the smooch ink. I used the large round bubblecaps on the frame surface and two of the small round bubblecaps in the vintage settings along with the felt settings.

Hello Fall Mixed Media Canvas

Designer: Julie Walton

Epiphany Crafts Supplies:

Heart Studio Shape Tool, Heart Bubble Caps

Round 14 Shape Tool, Round 14 Bubble Caps 

Other Supplies:

Clearsnap Smooch Spritz

Sparkle Fibers

Hello Fall is a mixed media canvas that I first sprayed with the Smooch Spritz, I tried to use the adhesive masks on the canvas after spraying the spritz so that I could apply the foils and I found that didn't work, but they did remove some of the spritz and I liked that look so left it. I used the small heart bubble caps on foil by just applying the adhesive side to the foil itself. I did this as well with the small round bubblecaps and used them with the charms and vintage settings. I applied some of the sparkle fibers to the adhesive side of the large heart bubblecaps as well. I used the ink to stamp the large flower and the edges of the canvas.

Techniques:
I base coated my Vintage Settings in Cabana with my Cream acrylic paint. I did two coats for nice coverage. I then used my Smooch to obtain the depth of color that I wanted. I used Molasses, Lettuce and Cape Cod for my Vintage Settings.

I love that this technique allows you so much control to obtain the perfect color match! You can rub a little of the Smooch off for a more vintage look too!

I then used my Smooch Spritzes on my Martha Stewart doily and it coordinated with this line just perfectly!
