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 will also add it to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity 31 DOH


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




Happy Hopping!

    This journal page is fantastic! I love the background you created and every one of the stamps that you used to perfection. So clever to stamp Poe inside the raven. Thanks for joining the Lost Coast Design Challenge!
