Eileen Hull Holiday Projects

Hi and welcome to my monthly post for Eileen Hull.  This month the Design Team are showcasing their Halloween, Christmas or Autumnal Projects.

I decided to create a Halloween project using Eileen's Passport Scoreboards XL Die.

I began by cutting my front and back covers and pages from mountboard and then adding colour using Distress Paints Ripe Persimmon and Twisted Citron, applying the paint with a brayer.

I embossed all my pieces with Tim Holtz Floral Texture Fade and then added Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Ink over the top, simply swiping the inkpad across the raised areas. I then dried the ink with a heat tool before applying the next colour.

I then applied Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide over the top to give a second layer of colour and once again dried the ink with my heat tool.

I adhered the front and back covers to the binding which has also been coloured with Distress Paints.

I then machine stitched the front and back cover to the spine and then dry brushed Black Soot Distress Paint across the raised/embossed areas.

I only used a light touch to add the dry brushing as I did not want too much black paint coverage.

I die cut five Raven's from black card.

Adhered all the layers together to give me one dimensional Raven.

I highlighted the embossed area on the Raven with a touch of Wax and added a Clippings sticker to the top.

No Raven is complete without a Paper Doll!!! I also added a feather behind which had a touch of stamping added using the background stamp from the On The Farm Stamp Set.

I added some skull beads randomly to the twine.

I also included some Design Tape and a Transparent Tile all from Tim Holtz Idea-ology range. I added a circle of twine for added texture.

My fellow team members will be posting each week for the month of October with their inspiration for this month, stay tuned.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
