LeighSBDesigns Halloween in May Blog Hop - Day #3

  

Once again Leigh is hosting a Halfway to Halloween Half-O-Ween Blog Hop - find more details here...

For some reason I have missed out on quite a few of Leigh's Hops recently...
I love Halloween so I will try and take part in the five days of this hop...

To start I am just sharing something from my Halloween makes of October 2021. 

That year I made a Halloween album...

The Boo page above and the page below feature some of Leigh's cats...

The black cats are from Leigh's Black cats Silhouettes

These were the pumpkins my daughter and I carved that year...

I would also like to share something new:

I made these ATCs using 

Bramleigh  from Batleigh

I started with purple card matted with a paper from DCWV Happy Haunts 6 by 6 double sided paper stack - one is the reverse of the other. 

I coloured the images with markers and added one to the first and two to the second ATC. In the first ATC the sentiment is a Tim Holtz sticker from the Curiosities Idea-ology book.

I will link these ATCs to the Something Wicked this way comes post.

Happy Half-o-ween!

LeighSBDesigns Halloween in May Blog Hop - Day #2

 

Once again Leigh is hosting a Halfway to Halloween Half-O-Ween Blog Hop - find more details here...

For some reason I have missed out on quite a few of Leigh's Hops recently...
I love Halloween so I will try and take part in the five days of this hop...

To start I am just sharing something from my Halloween makes of October 2020. 

At that time I did a workshop by Eulalia Mejia and made these pieces:

I decided to use the same technique to make a couple of pages for my Halloween Junk Journal...

The technique is to collage some card first with colourful papers (I used origami paper) and then make a second layer with transparent tissue papers.

Next the image is painted around in white - for this one I used a Visible Image stencil.

The spider in this one is using an Oddball Art Stamps image.

I then doodled in white on the image and added a die cut sentiment (using a variety of dies from my stash).

Remembering this technique I really must repeat it!!

I would also like to share something new:

I made this ATC using 

Leigh's bats from a Balleigh Monster set and a sentiment from Batleigh

I started with orange card matted with a paper from DCWV Happy Haunts 6 by 6 double sided paper stack. I distressed the edges with black soot.

I also placed the sentiment words on orange card and distressed these with Black soot.

I will link this to the Something Wicked this way comes post.

Happy Half-o-ween!

Butterfly Challenge #182 again

 

 The fold is the current theme for Mrs A's Butterfly Challenge #182 is P is for Pillar Card

 and she gives instructions on how to make one here. I have used version I with two pillars adhered to the front.

This is the wheel - and colours

I used pale pink for the base of the card and all the colours in the matting paper from the Francheville R. Spencer Warlukuralanga paper stack - aboriginal designs.

The sentiment and butterfly come from American Crafts Woodland Grove Paperie pack.

I used pink pearls so I have used all elements of the wheel.

Happy Crafting!

LeighSBDesigns Halloween in May Blog Hop - Day #1

 

Once again Leigh is hosting a Halfway to Halloween Half-O-Ween Blog Hop - find more details here...

For some reason I have missed out on quite a few of Leigh's Hops recently...
I love Halloween so I will try and take part in the five days of this hop...

To start I am just sharing something from my Halloween makes of October 2019. 

I completed many pages for a scrap book...

The main image on here is Leigh's Mushroom Cottage, trimmed and coloured with Copics and Peacock feathers distress ink.



I added a tag and various die cuts, the sentiment and a stamped moon.

Of course I had to add spiders and some fineliner web strands.

I will link this post to the Something Wicked this way comes post.

I would also like to share something new:

This is a journal page using the image from Gecko Galz Monthly Gothic Challenge

Happy Half-o-ween!
