16 From Junk to Junque

WOW what fabulous Junk Keys from Jas yesterday, I'm intrigued, I wonder why she wants us to hang on to our plastic bottles!!

Day 4 I showcased my Junque Journal covers, and heres a few pages to add to my Halloween JJ.  Stencilling seems to be the technique of the day!!

1. As Darkness Descends


Take an old A4 folder and cut pages to desired size and cover in scraps of paper.
Slap on lots of red acrylic paint, and while wet sponge over some cheap gold paint.
Leave to dry.

Using the Andy Skinner Skullduggery stencil, a sponge and black gesso work the design onto the page.
Leave to dry.
Using The Crafters Workshop 6x6 confetti stencil, repeat the process used with the skull stencil until you are happy with the finished look.
Leave to dry.

Run black gesso around the edges.

2. Beware The Magic


Take an old A4 folder and cut pages to desired size and cover in scraps of paper.
Slap on a layer of white gesso mixed with cream/fawn acrylic paint.
Leave to dry.
Cut out a sizzix gingerbread man and use as a mask.  
Slap on and blend lots of aubergine, terracotta and purple acrlyic paint and while wet sponge over some cheap bronze paint, this creates the background.
Leave to dry.
Using the stencil part of the die cut draw around the gingerbread man to define the edges and with the stencil in place stamp over the gingerbread man image with vintage photo distress ink and the kaiercraft Sketchy stamp.
Punch a small heart out of red card and attach with glue.
Using a permanent marker draw on the stitch marks, mouth and eyes.
Using the sizzix Spooktacular alphabet die cut out your words and attach with glue.
The word "The" was made using my Dymo.
I  do have a slight fasination with Voodoo Dolls!

WICKED


Take an old A4 folder and cut pages to desired size and slap on a layer of white gesso.
Blend a mix of blue and purple chalk pastels to colour the background. 
I use hairspray to 'fix' the chalk pastels.  
Leave to dry.

Use The Crafters Workshop 6x6 confetti stencil with white gesso  and silver glitter glue and 
 Jas's fabby splatter technique from a few days ago, splatter white gesso over the background.

Make your own witches hat stencil and stencil with black gesso.
Stencil the word "WICKED" (from the Tim Holtz Halloween Stencil THS027) with silver ink 
Add a spider cut using a sizzix die.

I've just found an istencil (02-00017), it looks like blood drips and blood splatter, 
guess what I'm off to play with!!

Bex, you're up next!!
