Halloween Anniversary

I’ve decided my Halloween style should be called Pretty Scary.  I want it to be creepy but I also want some color and glitz thus pretty but scary.

My most fun challenge every Halloween is to make a “card” for our friends who were married on Halloween.  This year I saw Emma Williams’ make called “bone collector”.  It set me off on a design that would work for the Halloween Anniversary.  Thank you, Emma.

I painted the etc. tag with a lot of Tim Holtz Products.  I started with black paint then white and speckled egg then frayed burlap.  I splattered black and speckled egg.  Then I used Grit Paste.  The tag was pretty but not Halloween enough so I used Black Soot Stain.  Then Crackle Paste and Crackle Paste again.  I never did achieve the deep crackles I wanted.  But the color worked.

The Feathered Friends are die cut from Yuppo paper I colored with alcohol inks.
