Halloween layout

Halloween is trending on all crafting blogs, so I feel duty bound to add my own Halloween post! As I am catching up with scrapbooking my photos, here's the layout I made:


All the stamps used are from Crafty Individuals, CI-319 for the image between the 2 photos, which I coloured with pencils and CI-209 for the embossed trees.

The idea, not entirely successful, was to emboss the trees with clear powder and use Versamark around the trees brushing mica powders (Imagination Crafts - Nature set) over the top, to create a spooky night scene. Trouble is I used Core'dination cardstock which is textured and I lost some of the stamp detail. The second problem I had was trying to clean the mica off the embossed trees...

I die-cut a few leaves, using the resulting stencil to ink some leaves (white pigment ink), and the letters for my title from some more Black magic Core'dination cardstock.

I am entering the following challenges:
Crafty Individuals, Country View Crafts- Something Spooky, Imagination Crafts, My Mum's Craft shop, Pan Pastels UK, Ali-Craft

Thanks for coming by,

    Elle est carrément géniale, je la trouve vraiment très belle !!! tu es très inventive je crois, et une fois encore tu as eu de superbes idées ! J'adore le mélange de tes photos (super mignonnes!) avec ce tampon CI magnifique, que tu as superbement colorisé pour le mettre en valeur... Quand à tes arbres embossés, tes feuilles et tes couleurs qui ressortent sur ton fond noir, je dis BRAVO, j'adore !!! Bises, Coco x

    I think the effect is great and has a ghostly feel to it. I have some of that black coredinations cardstock I must get it out.

    It's marvellous, deliciously black and fun!
    You only can see the mistakes, for me is just perfect, even the texture of the paper, and the subtle trees! Brava!
