This weekend I went to a pumpkin carving party...of course, I can't go with a plain pumpkin. I used a white craft foam pumpkin because I saw something on Martha Stewart using one with black swirls that looked like lace, so I couldn't help myself.
Here's what I used:
Ranger Distress Black Soot crackle paint over the bats
Michael's Studio G black glitter paint for the swirls
Lumiere gold/fuchsia as an undercoat for the bats
Glossy black transparent glass paint for the dots
So I started by randomly painting Lumiere bats, and let them dry. Then I began working on the swirls which took a LONG time. I started at the stem of the pumpkin with a small swirl and then went down, going around the bats and down to the bottom.
After that was done, I overcoated the bats with crackle paint. Then I added some dots to accent the swirled design. Ta-Da!
