Midweek Muse: Ghosts

 

Hello

I have a digital page today for Midweek Muse where the theme is 

Ghosts.

Isn't this crescent moon magnificent. It is a free png from Clean png, as is the raggedy ghost. I placed them on a blue, splattered background paper and added grungy, spider masks and borders and a bit of extra foliage to the base of the silhouette mound. 

***

This abandoned building also appealed to me, it's a free image from House of Kooky on Facebook,. I added the same raggedy ghosts from Clean png and border masks.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Fright Night

 Hello

Today I'm sharing a digital page I made for a new blog challenge at 

My Soul's Dark Imagination.

The theme is Wicked or Fanciful Halloween.

Here is mine:

I tend towards the quirky side, rather than the dark side, but always enjoy playing with digital scrapbooking.

Here I used whimsical spooky mansions from Art House Whimsy and layered them on top of Halloween scrapbook paper. The spooky girls are free this month on the Gecko Galz Blog - each DT post has a different free image.

I used masks and borders from DigitalScrapbook.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Crafts Galore Encore: Halloween Spirit

  Hello

Today sees that start of a new challenge at Crafts Galore Encore. 

The theme is always 'Anything Goes' and you can enter up to 3 different projects.  The challenge runs all month until mid day (GMT) 30th October.

This month's challenge is kindly sponsored by The Paper Shelter.

Here is what I made:

The Paper Shelter kindly allowed the DT to use one of their image sets. I used the pre-coloured Halloween Spirit and fussy cut her. I placed her on a die cut, circular background which had been coloured by blending distress oxides. A fancy edged circle was die cut from black card to frame the image.

The background was ink blended with oxides and corner stamping was added. I also added a small web and spider and inked around the edges in black to darken them.

***

That's all for now.

Many thanks to the Paper Shelter.for their generous prize of 3 digi stamps for our random winner.

Please pop over to Crafts Galore Encore to see the DT's wonderful designs and to enter our challenge. 

We'd love to see your creations.

Remember the challenge is always 'Anything Goes' and so you can create any type of project - it doesn't have to be a card and you can enter up to 3 times.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Conjurer of Dreams: Spooky House with Pumpkins

  Hello

Today I'm sharing a tag that I made using Conjurer of Dreams images. I hope you'll pop over to the store and take a look at the Digital Art on sale for collage, scrapbooks, journals, cards and more.

This week in the Facebook Group we are celebrating the first anniversary of Conjurer of Dreams and we are having a week of sales, activities and prizes.

Todays activity was to make a card with the theme 'Pumpkin Patch'.

Here is my card:

I found a freebie image from last year on the Conjurer of Dreams Facebook Page - it's a stained glass window depicting a spooky house. 

I printed it out twice and cut the second image around the stained glass frame I then decoupaged the mage, using foam tape for dimension. I added glossy accents to the stained glass and to the windows of the mansion. I popped the decoupaged image onto a small tent card base.

* A Little Something Spooky

Hello

One of my blogging friends has recently opened a new Etsy store called Conjurer of Dreams and there she is selling Digital Art.  The images are absolutely stunning., I hope you'll pop over and take a look.

Here I used one of the four images from Steampunk Skeletons to create a digital scrapbook page.

I chose paper, the border mask, a polaroid frame, glittery cobwebs, cooky-looking bats and a sentiment from my stash of digitals and arranged the layers to my liking in PicMonkey, an online photo-editing and design service, adding drop shadows here and there to mimic dimension. The smiling Steampunk Skeleton looks so handsome and cheeky in the frame!

* Vera Lane Studio: Happy Boo Day

 Hello

It's the last day of October and Halloween  

(and in the UK we've entered what I like to call 'The Twilight Zone' where our clocks have gone back and now it's hardly ever light) 

It's my DT day at Vera Lane Studio and I made a couple of ATCs with a Halloween theme:

The first one feature the indomitable Miss Dee character in her Halloween costume. 

Her background is Oxide inks and mica sprays with a heat embossed cob web or two. I masked off a circle for the moon and added some pastel pencils and a little glitter. I love Miss Dee's scaredy cat!

The second ATC features Broom Rides and I adore this cute little witch!

Her background is made with Brusho powders spritzed with water. The images are coloured with Copics and Polychromo pencils, 

Vampire Dee                                     Broom Rides

 

That's all for now.

I hope you'll come along and play on Vera Lane. It's such a friendly, fun place to be!
