I usually create a project as I go along, but this time I
did all the pieces first and then just put it together.
I started with a block of wood 2.5x3.25 and painted it with
black acrylic paint. While it was drying, I stamped several images on Inkessentials
Shrink Plastic Sheets with black Ranger Archival Ink (you could use Stazon
too) and set that aside to dry. I just love the Pixie
Cottage’s Hannah the Witch and La-La
Land’s Skeleton Luka! They shrunk down to such a perfect size for the block.
I had several metal Halloween metal charms that I cut off the links, and then,
colored them and my stamped images with my copic
markers. Once they were all colored, I used my heat gun to shrink them. I
then used Tim
Holtz’s On the Fence die, which I inked with Weathered
Wood Distress Ink, and my Happy
Hauntings cartridge to cut out a 2” blacked out house and the pumpkin treat
box (cut at 6 inches). I created a couple of banners using paper from my stash
and Doodle
Twine Halloween selection.
All paper edges were inked with Black
Soot Distress ink and some “ground” was made using Gathered Twigs Distress
ink. Everything was adhered with either Glossy
Accents or Scor
Tape. A few added stickers from last year’s Echo
Park paper finished the project, and all I need to do is add a treat to the
pumpkin for my granddaughter. Happy Haunting to all of you.
