Spooky Fun!

Welcome to the Artistic Outpost Blog Hop!  Today the Design Team is featuring Halloween inspiration on their blogs.

I decided to create a ATC Arch:


The background is Halloween paper from My Minds Eye.  I stamped the frame from the Gothic 31 plate using black ink on white cardstock. I cut around the edges and sponged with orange dye ink.  I cut the center out and replaced with a metallic silver cardstock to imitate a mirror.

I stamped the raven from the xxx set and cut it out to place in the frame.  I cut three roses and colored with purple and green watercolor pencils. I printed out the sentiment and cut and sponged.

I also am sharing another ATC that I call the Grateful Dead:

 I thought it would be fun to repeat the skulls in a variety of colors and add Mr. Skeleton on the front.  I stamped the skeleton and cut him out and cut him at the joints to allow him to do his little dance.



Here is a list of all the stamps used: Gothic 31 , Haunted Halloween,  Ephemera Backgrounds,  Quote and Quotables


The rest of the Design Team are sharing spooky inspiration on there blogs. . Hop along to see their wonderful projects:

Thanks for stopping by!

  18. Your pieces are awesome as usual, Sue! I just love the arched one with the raven - such a perfect combo of patterns and textures and your web stuff is the perfect finisher. And I got a chuckle out of the Grateful Dead too! Awesome work for this hop!

  19. Hi Sue, I could've sworn I'd left a comment on this post the other day but if I did it's disappeared, lol!

    Anyway,the ATC Arch is a fab idea and I love the purple bling for the raven's eye. The wispy fibres create a lovely effect too.

    The dancing skeleton is great too. Love his top hat and cane, lol!

    Hugs
