Day 28 of 31 Days of Halloween (LeighSB Designs Hop) - Countdown to Halloween

 

   During October you will see many Halloween-y projects on my blog as I am joining in with




Find Leigh's main post here

Leigh has also got a Challenge as well as the hop



So let's celebrate Halloween!! 

As usual I will add daily retro Halloween postcards from Vintage Image Craft.




Today I have something different to share - this is part one - I was inspired by something my friends in the UK were making at their retreat. This was an altered book.


First I painted the jacket black and added some embellishments - violet metallic texture paint through a stencil.
I added a leather strap with a gothic brooch.


The cat is a 3D glass like embellishment (from KrystalKraft) which I coloured and added glitter to.
I added the spiders and the ribbon (from my stash)


 
I will add this project to Leigh's linky!

Tomorrow I will show you inside.



And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!


Happy Hopping!

    Magnificent altered book, Susan! I really do hate spiders and just looking at the ones you put on the book cover makes my skin crawl. Yikes!

    Fabulous spooky altered book, Susan. Like Connie, I really hate spiders too, especially the one crawling on the left-hand panel of your blog! 🕷
