Halloween Atc's

I started off with stamping the webs in versamark and heat embossing with black wow powder. I coloured them with pan pastels and sealed them with a spray matte varnish.

The pumpkin is a rub on, the cat is a die cut and the spider is a piece of chipboard.

The skull is a piece of chipboard and the bats are die cuts.

I have made them for an atc swap with the theme of Halloween and I'm also entering into this weeks That's Crafty challenge of Friday 13th part 2 as I also entered into part 1 earlier in the year.

Inspired by Sue

When I saw Sues tags which you can go and see here, I just fell in love with them and knew I needed to have a play. So out came my gelli plate prints, cut to size and mounted onto a size #10 black tag.

Out came the sewing machine and I whizzed around the edges.

I simply used black media gesso to stipple through three different stencils from the Andy Skinner range and I quite liked the look of it so didn't do anything more to it.

Again I stippled through a couple of stencils with black gesso. The main is the cathedral of love from crafters workshop, which is actually an arch, but I saw two people stood together, so using more gelli print papers I made them into people.

Using a sharpie, I outlined everything in white.

And more Andy Skinner stencils, but this time I used pan pastels through them. I sealed them with Americana matte varnish spray.
