So, here is my Spooky midnight scene.
I began by choosing some Paperartsy fresco colours and painting onto my book page.
First, I cut out a white circle for the moon and glued it down.
Next, I chose some of Darcy's Steampunk style stamps of leaves and houses and stamped them with Black Archival and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
With a white Uniball pen, I highlighted some of the leaves and parts of the building. Also, I shaded parts of the building with grey watercolour to give extra depth.
Finally, I hand drew and coloured in my vampire bats......make me shiver....not a fan of bats!
A quick scribble of white to frame it and it was finished.
I hope that this has inspired you to do something similar, maybe starting with a dramatic background.
Thanks for looking and perhaps you will join in with our challenge at Country View Crafts.
Products Used:- Paperartsy fresco paints; Darcy Stamps, EDY08.
This is brilliant Hazel and so clever that you used no Halloween stamps. Great page xx
ReplyDeleteLooking at your page, Hazel, I couldn't find out your are not a spooky fan :-) You achieved a really spooky Halloween page with your dramatic colours and background! Hugs
ReplyDeleteNo great fan of Halloween either... and my background is spookily (see what I did there!) similar although I used completely different supplies! Using Darcy's house is a stroke of genius, it works perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI love how you have created a spooky scene without using a purposeful stamp, you clever thing. It really is effective! HugscDebs xx
ReplyDeleteLove your card, Hazel! Great stamps and the background is gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteI wonder where I was when I saw you'd posted this! Obviously not near my laptop as I haven't commented so I must have seen it on my phone. Glad I scrolled back for another look tonight as it well deserves a comment. Fabulous colours and using Darcy's stamps to create your spooky piece is genius. Love the touches of white too!
