Halloween

This weekend I finally sat down to execute my plan for this month’s calendar challenge (orange and pumpkin) which I had already drown out  in the beginning of the month but I just didn’t got around making it, but maybe that was faith, because now I can also post it for the weekly challenge (Halloween). 

I used orange DI on a craftmat, sprayed some water on top and dragged my paper through it until it was completely covered. It was a bit too light to my likings, so I grabbed my applicator and made some swirls with the same DI which made it much better.


Then I warmed up my heat tool to cut my haunted house and cemetery stencil.
The haunted house actually consists of 2 stencils, the outline and an overlay for the windows and door.



After some stencilling, stamping and adding some details this is how the finished page looks like.

    1. literary what it says, it is a metal pen which you heat up and it melts the plastic.
