Back again with my mid month project for We Love Chocolate Baroque. The theme this month is Anything Autumn.
Autumn, rich warm earthy colours, the red sky of a setting sun, crisp dry leaves unfit. That slight smell of wet decaying vegetation, the mist rising from the river in the morning and evening. Going for a walk in the woods, the sounds of unseen wildlife. Autumn the season of changeable days, Some bright and sunny, some strong winds and others incessant rain.
One of the highlights, at least for some, of Autumn is Halloween. I knew I wanted to us the Halloween Candle Rubber Stamp set from Chocolate Baroque. In my mind it would sit against a clock face of some kind, thinking TH die at this stage. Rummaged through my various supplies a Tando cog clock face popped up. Initially black acrylic was applied, over that dark purple Imagination Crafts starlite paint was added and then touches of crackle glass. For the hand over the black Platinum starlite was used. For the small top cog gold colour brushed over the black.
The main image was stamped and fussy cut, then coloured with Chameleon Pens. Then it was attached to the side of the of the cog clock. We have seen some fabulous Autumn themed projects in the challenge already but there is still lots of time for lots more.
Here are some other challenges I'd like to share this with
