Have a Very Skelly Christmas - Day 6 of 12 Days of Christmas

So glad you all came back after seeing the nakedness from Day 5!! ;)

Thank you all for the wonderful compliments. I just want to take a moment to say if you're loving what you see on our hop then you should join us on the Smeared and Smudged Forum. It's an awesome place with a lot of diversity, inspiration, and just plain fun. The challenges are always great and you can win some awesome prizes!

Ok, now for my Day 6 offering. I altered a wall hanger that I actually bought for the 31 Days of Halloween. I never got around to using it (among many other things). It's a skull & crossbones hanger with a plaque underneath. All bare wood. I got it from Michael's. The first thing I did was spray paint my base color, green. After drying, I applied lots of green and blue distress ink and the stamped some screws (from Smeared Ink's Urban Decay) around the edges and on the skull. I set that aside to dry.

I stamped out my Stocking Skellies (Smeared Ink) and candy canes and colored them with my prismacolors. I cut them out and glued them to the plaque. Next, I got some DP and cut out the shape of a Santa hat to glue onto my skull. I used batting for the fluff.

The finishing touch was adding glossy accents to the Skelly's glasses, candy canes, screws, and spots on the hat. The last thing was writing out "Have a Very Skelly Christmas" in white paint pen.

















Don't forget my fellow Jolly Bloggers! Be sure to leave them some love. The list is located on my sidebar.
