Many months ago I saw a tutorial on how you can remove parts of a mirror with oven cleaner. I wanted to try this for just as long. Now I did try it - but it didn't work for some reason, don't know why ... so I tried it the other way around: I took a picture frame from the €-shop, filled some mirror color in a little spray bottle and sprayed it onto the glass plate until it looked somewhat like an old mirror. I applied some rub on metal gold onto the frame and in the middle of the flowers I adhered some small skulls that I had stamped on a piece of cardstock sprayed with a mix of festive berries/fired brick and clear embossed. Finally I put a sepia-photo from the internet behind the glass.
The raven and the skulls are by Oxford Impressions, the tombstone is by paper artsy (hot picks) and the devil by 100 proof press. The raven and the devil are coated with clear embossing powder as well, the headstone is stamped with grey staz on, colored with iced spruce and covered with crackle paint.
It was a real pain to take a pic where you can recognise at least something ... yes, it's a mirror LOL
I'm entering this into the Hanted Design House challenge #158 where's 'Freaker's Free for All' - anything goes.
It's also my contribution for the 'Anything but a Card' challenge #10, where they want to see 'Things with Wings'.
Thanks for having a look.
Hugs, Suzanne
Looks pretty scary to me, it doesn't need to be a gory fest to be frighting, leave some to the imagination. Get mirror. Gruesse von Francesca
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne, it gave me goosebumps at first so I devinitely think it is scary enough - the image looks very eerie - what a fabulous job you have made doing this piece. The skulls, devil and raven are perfect embellishments..... Unfortunately I don't have anything scary enough to enter this time. Hugs, Anne x
ReplyDeleteSorry, that should say definitely.....
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, it worked really well and came out quite eery looking.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful, Suzanne! I want to try the mirror technique myself, but the picture frame seems to work just as well and gives the same eerie effect. Oh, and as long as you (and Redanne)are not trying to sneak in a Tilda image, or a pretty flower, you can always play along!
ReplyDeleteKeep it Creepy!
Wow, Suzanne, das sieht echt super aus.
