Trick or Treat

 Hi everyone,

One still can’t have enough Halloween creations

I used a new die, stencil and the black opaque texture paste.

I started with an Etcetera Cathedral window piece and popped out the middle piece and kept the arch.

I used a stencil over the arch which was ink blended with Distress Iced Spruce and Black Soot. I added a bit of black opaque to the edges of my arch

The card panel base is an embossing folder sprayed with Mica spray and a black ink pad swiped over top

The brick wall is a mini embossing folder inked with Distress inks

The figure was die cut and sprayed with Phantom Mist mica spray

 

I used Etcetera strip pieces to elevate my framed piece and give it some depth

I added an Idea-ology bat, sentiment and tinsel

The Dead of Night

 Hi everyone,

When I ordered all the new Etcetera release from Stampers Anonymous I wasn’t sure what piece to start with first. Well what I did was start with the base for my project which is one of the 5.25” x 7.25” pieces from the rectangle set. To create my frame I went with the outside frame piece around the mosaic tiles set - the long rectangular piece.

Here’s what I finished with 

I covered the base panel with a piece from the Layers Idea-ology backdrops. I left it the way it was inking only the edges with black ink. The piece is a nice dark blue floral with bits of light blue which I thought was nice to set the mood for the rest of my piece.

I painted the long rectangle frame with purple paint and used my sanding disk to scuff up the edges.

My orange background is also an Idea-ology Layers background which I sprayed with Distress Burning Ember mica spray. It give a nice shimmer to the piece.

I also added a stencil to my orange background and chose a light colour of ink to blend over top. I wanted just a subtle effect.

For the bat etcetera frame pieces I painted them with black paint and then sprayed them with Distress Iron Gate mica spray. I added them with tack nails.

I added Idea-ology Design tape to the top and bottom edge and also on the bats on edge side.

Die cut the fence with silver metallic card stock and all other pieces were cut with regular card stock.

I added 2 word chip sentiment pieces with a little tape under each one, a star and flower both inked with black alcohol ink, a bone, mummy cloth and a mask to the skull and gravestone.

Well that’s it for my Halloween make today and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻
