Halloween layout

Hi all!

Time seems to be flying by, Halloween only seems like yesterday and now already we are nearly at the end of November - I don't know where its going!
I'm doing some catching up by doing my layout of the antics from this years Halloween.
This is the first year my kids have ever been trick or treating and they had a fabulous time meeting up and going round with some friends and of course getting some sweets! We had fun with the annual pumpkin carving too!


I had fun with this layout, even down to the doodling zigzags round the edge with a black pen!



The pumpkins are fussy cut out of the wonderful Fancy Pants paper. I loved the pumpkin bunting!
The Chippie title was sprayed with Cosmic Shimmer mist several times and when dry I painted over the lime green Art Alchemy Paint.


The Blue Fern Studio chipboard cobweb I 'painted' with the black enamel accents, that I did the dots round the edge with, with a paint brush to create a really glossy look.
The middle pieces of the web were painted with the Art Alchemy paint.



The pumpkin splats were created by mixing the Tim Holtz Grit paste with the orange acrylic paint. This was then spread through a Dusty Attic Stencil. The Grit paste gives fantastic texture, it does actually look like squashed pumpkin!

'Happy Photos' **CSI Color, Stories, Inspiration Case File 214**

Hello All,

Today I'm sharing my Design Team layout for Case File #214 at CSI Color Stoies Inspiration.

 This case file was a lot of fun and I loved the theme I used from the Testimony and Scene! My layout is about a gathering of friends at a Halloween party. I do love Halloween!



Here is Case File 214 and the sketch that goes with it.




The 'Evidence' I used in my layout was;

* dots/ stripes
* monsters
* bones/ antlers
* vinyl/ plastic

The Testimony used in my layout was:

* Journal about a gathering


Here are some close ups!



The title chipboard was covered with the white embossing powder.


The cobwebs were painted with white gesso and then i added some Grit Paste to add texture.


I used white and black gesso and red paint for the splatting over the design.
