Halloween is our second challenge theme at the Artists Trading Post Exchange.
Please pop over and see what we all made, and read the challenge details.
I loved making this 8 inch canvas, which will be hung in my porch on Halloween night.
On the left you can see how it looked before I started adding extra shadings.. The base was painted with Fresco acrylics and gesso.
Then I used a Clarity stencil for the houses, shaded with Weathered Wood and Black soot distress inks.
The stencil is Tim Holtz's new Gothic one, using Texture paste for added depth.
The black cat was a die cut, using a little gold embossing powder.
Next the stamping of the words, skulls, spider and the witches. All from a Stampers Anonymous set.
I did fussy cut the witch a couple of times to add a bit depth. I think they look like they are having a bit of a race.
Products used available from the Artists Trading Post were......
Ranger Texture Paste
