Holiday Artist Trading Blocks

I just finished up a couple of Artist Trading 

Chubby Blocks for a holiday swap I'm in. On the 

Halloween ATB I used a weathered block and misted 

it with a combination of Tungsten Carbide and Sterling 

Silver Color Mists  from the Molten Metals set. I really 

love the dark shimmery look they gave the wood.

Next I used images from OTM's 

Halloween 1 Collage sheet and 

gave them some dimension by adding 

3D Crystal Lacquer over the images.

I also drilled a hole in the top and added a rusty 

bent piece of wire I mounted through a skull bead 

and then glued onto the block. I hung a key, 

and some ribbons from the end.

This ATB I made for a friend knowing she likes the color 

combinations of  turquoise and red. I first adhered some 

freebie images found online that I printed up, and then 

added some DecoArt's Snow-Tex and while it was still 

wet I sprinkled extra fine glitter dust. I then embedded 

bells and beads into the wet snow and let it dry.  I also 

adhered one of Sakura's Glass tiles over the words 

on the front side of the block.  I love how the 

glass tile magnified the words!  

 

Again, I used push pins for the feet.
