Happy Halloween - A Mixed Media MemoryDex Page

It's Tuesday so you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. This week the team is focusing on Mixed Media. Since I'm still (always) in Halloween mode, I've made another page for my Halloween MemoryDex album using the Spring Sprouts Die Set 49 by AALL and CreateDee of Darkness Clear Stamp Set 1198 by Janet KleinFresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paints by PaperArtsy, and the Hot Picks Mini Stencil PM016 by PaperArtsy.

Here's the MemoryDex page!

Here's a close-up!


Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the Mummy Dee from the Dee of Darkness Clear Stamp Set 1198 by Janet Klein for AALL and Create onto white cardstock. Fussy-cut the image, color with Copic markers, and edge with a black multiliner pen. Use a white gel pen to add highlights to her eyes and a clear glaze pen to add dimension and shine to her earrings. Set her aside.

Use the main MemoryDex die from the Spring Sprouts Die Set 49 by AALL and Create to cut Mixed Media cardstock. Add drops of Vintage LaceHaze, and Stone Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paints by PaperArtsy to foam, pounce the foam on a craft mat to mix, then pounce the paint onto the MemoryDex page. Let dry or heat set.

Place a brick stencil over the dried paint on the MemoryDex card and pounce the foam over the stencil to add a subtle tone on tone brick pattern to the MemoryDex page.

Position the Hot Picks Mini Stencil PM016 by PaperArtsy onto the center of the MemoryDex card. Use low-tack tape to cover the stone apertures and the bricks of the the arch. Use black acrylic paint to paint the center of the arch. Let dry. 

Remove the tape from the stones of the arch, but leave the tape on the outside of the arch. Use low-tack tape to cover the center piece of the arch. Place the center piece in the center of the arch to mask the painted area.

Place a dollop of modeling paste onto a craft mat. Add a few drops of Haze and Stone Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paints by PaperArtsy onto the modeling paste, mix well, and scrape the paste over the stencil onto the MemoryDex page. Remove the stencil, the tape covering it, and toss both parts of the stencil into a tub of water.

Use a palette knife to add a tiny bit of texture to the stones on the arch. Let the modeling paste air dry, then heat set. 

Use Nocturne VersaFine Clair Inks by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the web from the Dee of Darkness Clear Stamp Set 1198 by Janet Klein for AALL and Create onto the top left of the MemoryDex page. Clean the stamp and use the same ink to stamp the web on the top right. Heat set both webs.

Dust the MemoryDex page with anti-static powder. Use Nocturne VersaFine Clair Inks by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the spiders from the Dee of Darkness Clear Stamp Set 1198 by Janet Klein for AALL and Create being sure to clean and dry the spider stamps between repositioning them and stamping. Add clear detail embossing powder to the spiders and heat set. Use a red marker to add color to the spiders' eyes.

Edge the MemoryDex page with StrawberryFantasia, and Nocturne VersaFine Clair Inks by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko. Heat set. Adhere the fussy-cut Dee of Darkness to the MemoryDex. Add a rub-on sentiment to finish the piece.
