Ghostly Greetings

Happy Wednesday!  Time for the Funkie team to share their creations for the "A Very Vintage Halloween" challenge.

Zoe is hosting the challenge and she has challenged us to get our witches hats on and create a project in a vintage style with a Halloween theme.

I had fun playing with some Idea-ology, Prima and Ranger distress stain sprays to create a Halloween card.

I started by painting the background with black acrylic paint over the Halloween stencil. I came back and added a layer of texture on the spider with black embossing paste.

I then waited for that to dry and added layers of splattering of distress stain sprays including wild honey, citron, and wild violet.  I then splattered a bit of white and black paint over the surface.

I painted the silver frame with black paint and then highlighted it with white paint.  The lovely brass stars are painted with yellow, orange and white paint and sprayed the flowers with coordinating colors.

Come play along with us in the challenge. The team will choose their top four picks with the winner being invited to join us in a Guest DT spot here at Frilly and Funkie and the next three will receive badges to display on their blogs. Everyone who enters and follows the rules will be entered into the draw to have the chance to win a $25 spending spree at The Funkie Junkie Boutique.

Happy Haunting!

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:
