A Place to Start - October Challenge



Hi Friends,  

Happy October.  We are getting close to Halloween now :) I'm so excited 

We have a new challenge over at A Place to Start . The theme is Anything Goes, and our fantastic sponsor is Conie Fong.

How cute is this Little Pumpkin carrying Gonk?

I blended the background using Twisted Citron Distress oxide and Tumbled glass Distress ink, 




I married the gonk up with a little mushroom  house stamp that I had in my stash (I don't know the name of it, sorry)



I shaded underneath the gonk and house with an alcohol marker, slightly darker than the ink, to give it some depth.




I stamped and coloured a pumpkin, and placed it off the tag.  and cut off the remaining pumpkin.  I love a tag which has an overlapping piece.



Supplies Used:

Distress Ink and Oxides by Tim Holtz and Ranger
Tumbled Glass
Twisted Citron

DIY Milk Paint Recipe

After the outstanding results I received with the DIY CHALK PAINT , if you read my sideboard , rocking chair or toy chest posts, you will have seen the amazing results that the chalk paint made. So this time  i thought i would test out a milk paint recipe What you need: 4 parts milk powder 1 part bicarbonate of soda 1 part pigment 6 parts cold water Patience  The method is pretty simply. All you need to do is mix the milk, bicarbonate of soda and pigment powders together then add the water and stir well. Leave the paint to sit for 1 hour then stir again and paint. (I know, i know you probably will want to get painting you project, but if you can wait – you will get better outcomes - try watching an episode of  Once Upon a Time... oh lord, my sister and i are addicted) The milk paint dries quickly so once you’ve started using it and be careful not go back over areas, as you can wipe the paint back off. Even though it is touch dry in about 15 min...
