Halloween Castle

 Hello lovelies, nice to have you here!

My second project for the October Challenge "Halloween or Harvest" at Country View Challenges is a art journal double page.

I wanted to make a mystical, spooky page and this is what I did.

After preparing my pages with white Gesso, I started with some stamping. I used some old background stamps and black permanent inks.

Then I took a finnabair stencil and white crackle paste. I also put some of the paste randomly onto the page.

I added Lindy´s Magicals in 3 colors, activated them with water and spreat it around until I was happy.

Then I colored some cloth and glued it under the picture with the spooky castle. I added the little witch and the saying "Happy Halloween".

Now I hope to see some makes of you, you know, you can win a 20£ voucher to spend in the shop!

Thank you for your visit today!

Halloween Canvas

 Hello and welcome to October!

For the October Challenge at Country View Challenges "Halloween or Harvest" I made a Halloween Canvas.

I used one of the gorgeous Tim Holtz  papers from the Abandoned paper pad he launched a view years ago. I didn´t use them before, because I wanted to keep them. Crazy, I know.

I also used some Halloween themed diecuts and papers from a paper set from LaBlanche from 2015.

I took a canvas, painted the edges with black Gesso and glued the paper, which I distressed, on top. Then I prepared the picture for the focal point. I matted it on a piece of black cardstock and gave it a coat of high gloss varnish and left it to dry.

I prepared the diecut pieces, rounded them with a modeling tool and then I assembled the layout. I used a piece of Halloween net, the diecuts and some flowers. At last I sprinkled black and white paint to finish.

Here are some close ups.

Now it´s your turn to make a piece for our October challenge!

Have a happy October and thank you for your visit!
