Spooky - Halloween/October Challenge 2019

Hello everyone,

welcome to SPOOKY...

Halloween 2019.

You might have guessed but this months challenge is.....

HALLOWEEN!!! (Insert spooky music)....

so for this project I've created a little tag and Step by step instructions...

 starting off with a Dylusions Tag, I added some magazine pieces, and then layered

a Kinder Kreations Tree stencil (KK1657) with Modelling Paste.

 allowed it to dry and then covered it with Black Gesso 

 Then I got out my first of my Halloween stamps

this super cool and slightly rude 

Skeleton Family (sku: 19206)

with black Stazon Ink. I stamped 3 of them because I wanted to layer them up.

 Fussy cut them out, with each layer taking a little more away.

 I coloured the last one with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide in Carved Pumpkin

The top two I just used Gel Medium

and for the bottom set I used some foam mount to add a little more dimension

 Next I went back to the background and stamped

Fancy Spiderweb Corner (sku: 19208)

in the bottom corners with Distress Oxide in Hickory Smoke

added some Lindy's Gang Angel Wings Sapphire Embossing powder and heat set it.

 Then I added the "stars"

Cross Marks Background (sku: 20165)

with Distress Oxide in Wild Honey and Embossed 

with Lindy's Gang Adobe Fire embossing powder

 next up I added the 

Full Moon (sku: 18911)

https://vlvstamps.com/full-moon-2-3-4-x-1-3-4.html

with Distress Oxide Blueprint Sketch and Embossed 

with Lindy's Gang Desert Moon Turquoise

 I added some fibres to the top and stitched the edges 

 then I added my Layered up Skeleton Family 

(which I added a wash of Distress Oxides: Hickory Smoke and Iced Spruce)

and finished off with 

Spooky (sku: 19735)

https://vlvstamps.com/spooky-3-4-x-2-1-4.html

with Wild Honey and Embossed 

with Lindy's Gang, Adobe Fire powder. 

I also added some colour to the background tree with Silks Acrylic Glaze Nutmeg

 the final product...
