Good morning everyone!
Today I wanted to share a Halloween Art Journal page with you :)
I created the background using a 'acetate smooshing' technique with Carved Pumpkin and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide inks. I added Carved Pumpkin ink to modeling paste and stenciled it through Tim Holtz Code stencil. The dots were stamped with a Tim Holtz stamp in VersaMark ink and heat embossed with white powder. The monsters were cut with Tim Holtz Silly monsters dies and colored with Wilted Violet DOI.
Below is a better picture of the embossed lines the monster is standing on- they really blend in with the background and the lines on the monsters were stamped using a mesh stamp from Darkroom door.
And there you have it... a very colorful and not too scary Art Journal page! :)
Thanks so much for taking the time to visit my blog today!
Take care, Tammy x
