Halloween is my favorite season of the year and I can't wait till this time rolls around to create fall and Halloween projects. Today, I will share with you how I created this Halloween product, using stamps and embossing powder to create texture.
I have fallen in love with embossing powder all over again. I love the instant texture, dimension and color you get with one simple step.
To prep my wood structure, I primed each piece with a coat of black gesso.
Once each piece was dry, I heat embossed each section (before assembling). I used a dark blue on the main house pieces instead of black to create a bit of contrast. I used red on the roof and brown on the tombstones.
For more dimension and color, I sprayed each piece with several shades of Shimmerz sprays. Once the pieces were done, I glued the entire house together.
I assembled all of the internal pieces and glued them in place.
Special Note: My moon is a bottle cap covered with Shimmerz Texturez and Shimmerz sprays. Doesn't it look great?
