I will be sharing today's Halloween make on Leigh's page...Day 1

~~~~~~~

First one more postcard from Vintage Image Craft

And then another page from my Halloween scrapbook...

The main stamps I have used for this are from Visible Image - The Cheshire Cat.
I stamped the sentiments on a piece of moss green card and the cat on white, then coloured it with Copics, and then cut everything out.

As my theme today is the Cheshire Cat from 'Alice' I thought I would first show you something I made for Leigh's Dark Valentine last year - it was a postcard flip book:

 The enclosed postcard has Leigh's Queen of Hearts Grunge Collage

and Leigh's Distressed Splatter Heart

Not Halloween but definitely dark!

Back to today - the next picture show my page in progress.

The first layer was a paper from my scrap box distressed around

 with 'shabby shutters'.

Again I added some tags...

The first one I actually made some while ago at a craft retreat with
 UK Stampers Network

The tag involved various techniques

• Using the rubber stamp to stamp into the texture paste and with ink - love this 'Yesterday is History, Tomorrow a Mystery, Today is a gift, That's why it's the present'
• Using chalk acrylics
• Using a stencil, then slightly offset it to form a shadow
• Distressing
• Making a homemade chipboard by layering up honeycomb die cuts 

For the second tag I sprayed a tag in my spray box with a variety of sprays, including shimmery ones, through some stencils that I had made with a glue gun.

My spray box is just some packaging - it once held a photo album. It has a deepish tray in which I have put a non-stick mat and a clear top which I stand upright to protect the surroundings!

I allowed this to dry and then overstamped with Archival ink and the stamp Punchinella from Carabelle studio.
I added 'shabby shutters' distress ink around the edges.

The third tag is once again 'glaze resist'. I used clear shoe polish through a stencil and then added a variety of distress inks.
I overstamped in Archival with 'How Fragile' from Visible Image.

I will link this to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity who have a second challenge up for October - Pets

and also the Halloween one.

Happy Hopping!
