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

So let's celebrate Halloween!!

I have so many ideas running through my head and so many projects half thought of, half started...

But today I am sharing a small journal page - this is A5.



I started with a paper cut out of a bird and added it to the page towards the to and slightly to the right. I added grey acrylic paint around it, then orange. I used the ghosting technique (and a Tracy Scott stencil) to remove some of the orange with a baby wipe.

I masked the surrounding area and overstamped the bird with some real rubber Poe stamps (Smeared Ink, no longer trading). I added some watercolour to the bird.
I then started looking at my spider stamps...


This time I masked the bird and added two Tim Holtz spider webs using black Archival.
I then added the large spider and Tim Holtz spider on a thread.


Finally I added a splatter of white (Dina Wakley gloss spray) and black Posca around the edges.



I will add this journal page to Leigh's Linky!



I am also very pleased to be participating in the Countdown to Halloween Blog Hop




Happy Hopping!
