I have some great pre-cut wooden pieces that I like to make small signs with. This piece is about 4″ wide…perfect for the dog skull stamp from Skulldoggery. I gessoed the wood and then used some simple techniques to paint the piece. After I was happy with how the wood was painted, I stamped the images with VersaMark ink and embossed them with Clear Bark embossing powder. Then I opened up the Mister bottle and taped the straw to get the drops of black. I love how opaque the color is.
I added some copper wire so that the piece can be hung. I like how easy it is to achieve an aged look usg various colors from the DecoArt Media line. I love working with these paints and mediums. I’ll have another piece to share with you on Friday that I am really excited about. Below are the rest of the folks hopping today. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
Very cool little wall hanging, Alison. I love Andy's Skuldoggery set. Love the colors of your background.
I would buy this piece in a minute. Very cool. I am going to pick up some wood next time I am in the hobby store.
I know someone who would go bonkers over a piece like this!! I am definitely going to have to get my hands on this stamp ASAP so I can make a sign similar to this for his birthday!!! Thank you for the awesome tutorial and inspiration!!!
Love the colors you achieved on the BG. Very cool piece!
Lovely don, like it !
OOH, that skull stamp is really awesome! I think its my favorite from the new collection, as well as the 'Speciemen' one. I thought I had enough stamps…. haha- I need these now.
Your skull hanging is just absolutely awesome and so amazing!!
Very cool. FYI, mobile version is hard to read with brown text on brown background.
Thank you very much for letting me know. I've fixed it. 🙂
The shading of the wood is great.
I can see a piece like this hanging
on my front door (might use a
different stamp). thanks

idea.

Very neat and unique. Love that. The wood is so cool. And that stamp is perfect.

What a great project, Alison. You have a really skilled eye for matching the stamp to the project. Love it.
I love the aged look–my grandson would love that! He's really into dinosaurs, and he's only 2!
REAL RUSTIC REALISM! What a SUPER way to use Andy's RELIC! j.
Amazing how it almost looks like it was burned into the wood….great affects achieved with the products and stamps! Love the finished specimen.
Fabulous project. Love your copper hanger. It is a perfect match. TFS

You ladies have such great ideas. I would like to make something like this for my study.
