Hi
and welcome to my second post of the day. Thankfully I am on a day off from work and have been having a long overdue play in my craftroom infact I didn't even get dressed until 1pm, getting all inky and covered in paint whilst in your dressing gown has to be a pastime up there along side eating chocolate!!!
Having a day getting crafty has allowed me to at last get into the Halloween spirit with this make.
Using the fabulous Stampotique stamps "Friend" and "Heads" stamped onto lightly painted dictionary paper with Distress paints spiced marmalade and pumice stone. I have added a little shadow to the heads with charcoal pencil blending it with a little more pumice stone paint.
My background has been created on water colour paper again with distress paints and some purple emulsion tester paint. I have just smeared it on with a cloth. I have then stamped the script stamp from TH Apothecary set using distress paints spiced marmalade and dusty concord. The gravestone is from Tim's mini blueprint set and the final stamp used for the skyline is from Inkadinkado Happy Haunting.
I am entering this card into this weeks Stampotique designers challenge where the theme is 'Halloween'.
I am also entering this into

and

I love the way you gave the heads shadow and how you used a tester pot of emulsion. I've have done that as well for one of my older journal pages. Works very well I think, anyway I think it s absolutely fabulous !

Oh my what a 'spooky' design ! Beautiful background for your halloween characters. What a treat to be in your dressing gown until 1:00 pm crafting.... Enjoy the weekend, Shirleyx
ReplyDeleteYou have created such an amazing background, Amanda, but it does not upstage either Heads or Friend! This is just so well done! Love it!
ReplyDeleteLove this Amanda, you certainly put your day off to good use! Thanks for joining us at Stampotique this week.
ReplyDeletelove your stamping onto a word background - very haunting!
ReplyDeleteOoh, definitely creepy! The heads look great on the book page, and the quote is very cool!
ReplyDeleteSorry to have got behind... life is slowly returning to normal after the huge house move (clearing out the family home of 40 years), so I'm looking forward to doing some catching up!
