The Bat that flits at close of Eve Has left the Brain that won't believe. The Owl that calls upon the Night Speaks the Unbeliever's fright.”

My first experiment with stamping on dominos. I learned alot about being patient to let things dry, ink will float when sprayed with a glossy finish, but added an interesting effect. Colored with copic and sharpie markers.

11th Day of the 31 Days of Halloween

This is the beginning of a journal plage, I ate quite a few "Starbursts" and really like the little wrappers so I collage pagued them to a journal page. NOW what do I do. I've been hesitant to add anything to it, I just like the starburst wrappers. I stamped this little Hallowen Clown from Third Coast and colored her in with matching prismacolor pencils. She is just visiting the page, I haven't "adhered" her properly to the page. So I took her photo and added trick or treat from the Ransom App and discovered if you put a space in between each letter you could move the indivdual letters randomly around the page. ( is this cheating, I just can't bear to paste anything on top of my starburst wrappers.

Thanks for visiting, have a great day!

I'm scrambling to pack for a week in Florida ( hard to complain) so my post today is a little weird, tomorrow 's might be as well......from the road, and I don't want to drag in all of the supplies. But we'll arrive Friday evening,  a time to rest, catch up on stamping, walk on the beach and read a book or two!

Your next stop is Valerie at the Third Coast Creative Coterie, and because it's my day on the Coterie, you'll see the same Halloween project.  I only post 3 times during October and I'll try to make the other ones a bit different, if they aren't you win, as I will post a photo or clipart for you to use in your art work. That being said....below you will find your free image

 

I found these lovely young things at the Belleville Flea Market(St. Louis Area)  in Illinois, several years ago. Enjoy!

Oh So Spooky!

Coming soon to the Third Coast Challenge Blog!

You'll find a Halloween Challenge using the Bingo Grid shown below!

For my sample I chose Eyes/Fae ( Halloween Image)/Ribbon

 

The Third Coast featured creature is our little "Fraidy Cat" VB-323-N

The giant eyeball is from the Inkadinkado Mini Halloween Assortment 60-30739

 

Make a mask of the eyeball, so you easily stamp multiple eyes so that they appear layered. Stamp your Fraidy Cat in black, stamp assorted eyeballs, highlight a bit with orange gel pen. Layer onto Halloween Paper and again onto black card stock. Add a beribboned "oh so spooky.

Beware! Only 55 days until Halloween!

On Halloween, witches come true;

Wild ghosts escape from dreams.

Each monster dances in the park.

My Current favorite coloring implement is Prismacolor pencils. For my birthday I treated myself to the colors I didn't have in my collection. You can order them from Dick Blick's art supplies for 99 cents each! So I have been experimenting with color palettes. This one included Mineral Orange, asparagus, espresso, ginger root, peach and sunburst yellow. It sounds more like lunch!

Color the image with you're favorite coloring implement, fussy cut and layer onto black card stock, add a smidgen of scrap book paper saying "beware" across the bottom and layer onto another scrap of Halloween paper! Add a spider web sticker or stamp an image of the moon!

Are you ready for Halloween, only 55 more pre-haunting days!
