Making a (Halloween) Scene at The Paper Shelter

Hello Crafty Peeps,

It's time for another spooky theme at The Paper Shelter challenge blog. This week brings HALLOWEEN, NOT HALLOWEEN (use a Halloween image, but colour it in non-Halloween colours).

I have created a scene using three images - Halloween, Cute Witch and Halloween Castle Scenes pg8.

   


Usually I would have coloured this scene with grey castle walls, orange pumpkins, and the witch in black and purple. 


Our challenges are now ANYTHING GOES with an optional theme. Anyone playing the theme will receive DOUBLE ENTRIES towards the weekly prize!!


You can also share your creations over in our Facebook Group.

Spellbinding at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Spooky Peeps!

It's that time of year again where all the holiday countdowns begin. Are you a fan of Halloween? I definitely am.

This week at The Paper Shelter we have a fun (optional) challenge theme for you - GHOSTLY VELLUM. Add vellum over something on your project to give it a ghostly appearance. 

I used Halloween Spell to decorate a book that I covered with handmade paper.


I didn't take a photo of the side, but I used Mod Podge and gold leaf on the page edges.

The image after colouring.

And with the vellum over for that spooky look.

I coloured the cauldron again over the vellum, and added the sentiment in vinyl to make those elements stand out more.

While I was playing with vinyl, I decided to add some to the book spine too.

Our challenges are now ANYTHING GOES with an optional theme. Anyone playing the theme will receive DOUBLE ENTRIES towards the weekly prize!!
