In the Witch's Kitchen by Kerstin

 Welcome !

BEWARE -  the witch's cauldron is bubbling!!

 

I was inspired to create a shadow frame in a mixed media grunge style 

with a lot of awesome Calico Craft Halloween MDF wood shapes.

 

 

How was it done ? - some tips:

 

I used a piece of cardboard that fits the size of the canvas and cut out the centre with a precision knife.

Afterwards in some places I removed the top layer of paper with a little water only, so that some structures became visible, which made the whole thing look worn and old.

With  a little bit of Texture Paste the worn effect was intensified -

now the frame was coloured with grey and black

 

Background design with stamps and diluted distress ink

 

First ideas to arrange the MDF shapes in combination with 'The Cauldron' (die cut with Sizzix die, designed by Tim Holtz)

Later I added the 3D shelf and the alien head

 

There are so many variations to alter the shapes; 

for example with embossing powders, or with Antiquing creams!
