Trick or Treat using Echo Park Paper Hocus Pocus by Kerryn Fry

Good morning All! Today I am sharing my second page created with  Echo Park Paper Hocus Pocus. I adore the colors of Halloween and  always have loads of fun with these collections.   So now that Mr 14 and a half is apparently 'too old' to celebrate Halloween, I have gone back to the year 2012 for some photos and to reminisce. I was lucky that my big sister was always willing to join in.

The page started with a Kraft Cardstock base.

I have used a Tim Holtz Layering Stencil and Distress Inks

Ripe Persimmon and Black Soot for the background.

Diamond Stickles was used to highlight the stencil

Once the Stickles had dried, I have used charcoal ink

and a Tim Holtz foam spider stamp.

The body of the spider has been highlighted with a metallic Kaisercraft Gel Pen. 

The 2 Crafty title Trick or Treat was given a white gesso basecoat.

I have used two shades of purple to create the colour

and finished the title with Dimensional Magic.

The 2 Crafty Ghosts were painted with white paint.

After they had dried, I have swiped the edges with charcoal ink

and used a black gel pen for the eyes.

The ghosts have been finished with Dimensional Magic,

but I have left the eyes plain.

I have hand cut embellishments from the patterned papers,

the date, ghost and a few bats.

Some pieces have been given a black base to pop on the page.

The Sticker Sheet was perfect to add some finishing touches

and there was plenty of foam tape used to add dimension to different elements.

The final cluster on the page was created with the 2 Crafty Gravestone Set.

The headstone was painted with Hickory Smoke Distress Paint.

The edges of the chipboard have been inked with charcoal ink.

The pumpkins were hand painted with Distress Paint, 

using Ripe Persimmon, Black Soot and Picket Fence.

The chipboard has been backed with patterned paper 

and then given a finishing coat of Dimensional Magic.

That's my page for today, thank you for dropping in.

Have a fabulous weekend!

Please check back on Monday for Fiona's next project.
