Day # 19 of The 31 Days of Halloween

 
Welcome to DAY # 19 OF THE 31 DAYS OF HALLOWE'EN 
you can find all the details of this fabulous hop HERE.
The full blog roll is on my side bar and shall remain there all month long.
 
My project for today is an altered pencil pot. I am always looking for creative ways to incorporate ATC's into my work. So I thought why not add them to a pencil pot. Neat Eh....... I created my four ATC's with a Poe theme using Digi images from my own stash and Real rubber images from Quoth the Raven set from Smeared Ink. Attached them to mountboard bases for stability and inked the edges. Next I painted my pencil pot with DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic. Once dry I then stamped all four sides with an Andy Skinner Mixed Media  Crackle stamp in black Archival ink. Gave it a coat of DecoArt Media Satin Varnish to protect. I then attached my ATC's to all four sides. They fit a treat. To finish I covered some pencils in spooky Washi tape and gave them a coat of stain varnish to finish. Am quite pleased how this project turned out. Below is pictures of all four sides.
 





Thanks for stopping by today. See you tomorrow. Happy Hopping.

    those birds look like are after something - and I don't want to be around when they find it.
    Fun idea. We need to have the things on our desk attractive as well as functional.
    thanks for sharing.
