SPOOKY BOO!

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

I love the color combination, Tammy. Very Halloween inspired. The way you balanced the monster on the lines (stencil) was genius. Very creative. Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Art Journal Journey using Chris's theme. And I am also delighted this is not too spooky!
