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:

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!
ReplyDeleteAnyway,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!
