Happy Thursday firends! My shares for today are quick and simple!
I have loved seeing the thrifted paintings that people are haunting and have wanted to try it. However, I don't have enough confidence with a paintbrush but I sure can stamp, so why not!? I tried it and it worked! After coloring and cutting out the ghost I added a thin magnet to the back of it and placed it where I wanted it on my painting then I carefully added another, stronger magnet to the back of the painting directly behind the ghost to hold it in place. This little ghost has been a big surprise to visitors. It's been funny seeing them go up the painting to check it out closer. I want to add more little holiday touches like this to all the paintings!
Up next I have another little surprise, a little plant I call Audrey & Rose.
When I was stamping my daughter's birthday card, I noticed that the shape of the simplicity leaf reminded me of Audrey 2 from Little Shop Of Horrors.
I turned on the movie and went to work creating this mini-version. My old pinking shears came in handy for the teeth. I used a couple ginkgo leaves around the heads and added the texture markings with a grunge stamp. Then I added palm leaves, plant leaves, twisted paper, and moss to fill in the base. It was done before the movie was over. Now I have a cute, freaky plant for my desk during Halloween!
I hope you liked today's shares! Don't forget to comment! Someone will get Unity moola!
