Ding Dong the witch is dead

Hello everyone! This is my first post for the new term of VLVS! Today is a journal page.

I've been really liking the Oreo cookie ads that Have been in magazines the past few months. I saw the one for the Halloween Oreo's and knew I had to do a journal page with it and VLVS!stamps.:)

As you can see the cookies are legs of a witch.I instantly thought if the Wizard of Oz when the house Fell on the Wicked With of the East. I have to say I should of done this page on the other side, as would of liked the legs closer to the edge of the page, and not next to the holes. But the page turned out great!

The background I used two orange craft paints. a light orange and a bright orange  I put some on the page and with my pallete knife I spread the paint all over the page. I then took a baby wipe to spread the paint out  more on the page. I took the Star punchenllia that I was RAK'ed, with black craft paint put some on the page with a sponge. I then took a brick stencil and some Golden light molding paste(it was one of those little jars from the mediums starter set) and with the CLEAN pallet knife put the molding paste on the stencil. 

After it dried I deiced to leave it white. I took the tree background  and stamped the top pf the branches in Black archival ink pad around the edges of the page. 

I glued the Cookie legs on a piece of lightweight chipboard (cereal box) to give it some sturdiness. I put some foam tape in it to give it some dimension to the page. First time ding that on a journal page. I then stamped the Wicked Witch With Broom on white cardstock with black Memento ink pad. colored her face with green color pencil. fussy cut her out and put her on the page like she is standing on the legs of "her sister"

For the page title I went through my stash of alpha stickers and pulled out these green and black ones. Stuck then on to White glossy cardstock. The cut that out and glued the word blocks on the page. Then they stuck out like a sore thumb with all the white. So I took the Black Soot Distress ink pad and a water brush and painted the white glossy cardstock.

Creating the ‘Cracked Glass’ effect

Stamp the images in black on the Kromecote paper, leaving ½-1 inch around each so you can tear them out and still have white surrounding them.

Tear the images out.  You want rough edges.

Brush generous amount of wax over the entire surface of the Tree Collage Image.  

Dip the brush in the Walnut crystals and brush them in the area surrounding your stamped image.  I brushed up around and over the edges of the image because I didn’t want an evenly ‘square’ look.  It can take a minute for the crystals to liquefy.  If they don’t liquefy, then add just a touch of water. 

Drop a single drop of the Cardinal re-inker towards the bottom of the image and brush into the walnut stain.  A little Cardinal goes a long way, so be careful.

While the stain is still wet, heap on clear embossing powder to cover the entire waxed piece and heat ‘til melted. 

Cover the entire piece in wax again, and again coat in embossing powder and heat.  Let cool.

Once the piece is cool, fold it in several places until the wax cracks.

Gently rub the Vintage Photo Distress ink over the cracked edges to bring them out.

Set this piece aside and repeat the whole process for the ‘All Hallow’s Eve’ piece.

Putting the card together

Place the Tree Collage piece you just finished on the 8.5 x 11 Aged Parchment sheet to eyeball the size.  Tear out a piece of the Aged Parchment so that is it roughly ¼ inch larger than the Tree collage piece.  You want rough edges.

Use the Miracle tape to adhere the tree collage to the Aged Parchment.  I tilted my Tree Collage slightly to once again avoid a straight-edged square look.

Take the 12x12 Colorbök’s sheet and fold it in half with the white side in, to make it a card.

Place the Parchment/Tree piece on the lower right of the Colorbök’s to eyeball the size.  Tear off the top off the Colorbök in a rough tombstone-like curve so that there will be about 1 inch around the Parchment/Tree piece.  You want rough edges.

Adhere the Parchment/Tree piece to the Colorbök with the Miracle tape.  Again, I tilted it a bit.

Drop a few crystals in a small amount of water (or used already mixed Walnut stain) and use a sponge to daub it on all the rough edges.

When the walnut stain is dry, tape the All Hallow’s Eve piece to the card. 
Add whatever sentiment you wish to the inside of the card.
