Stirring up some Haunting Fun!

 Rustification is the challenge this week at Simon Says Stamp and Show.  You can take the idea of rust and create any kind of projects.  I knew I wanted to make something fun with a wood paint stick, I picked up at the home restoration store.
 

My son and I discussed what colors to use to create my rusty look and we decided to go with black gold and black again.

I stamped the fun images on white cardstock using black ink and colored them with distress inks. I added highlights using the white gel pen. 

Here are the step outs to create the rusty look:

1. Paint the wood stick with black acrylic paint: Let dry.

2. Smear Metallic Distress Stains - Brushed Pewter and Tarnished Brass randomly across the black paint.

3. Smear Versamark around the edges. Heat emboss using Aged Gold Embossing Enamel.

4. Smear StaZon Jet Black Ink over the surface of the gold embossing enamel.

I created a second spooky paint stick after the first one because the first one was fun! Here is the top half:

The bottom half

and the full stick!  I used some dollar store skeletons which got a touch of the tarnished brass rubbed over them along with some chain aged with the same techniques as the paint stick.  I attached the word Halloween using grunge board letters. The too were painted, embossed and stained.  They are hard to see in the picture but add another layer of dimension.
