Howling cats, and a big black spider,

Now, prepare to be spooked! For my project I created a mixed media wall canvas using the Mini Monster cartridge. I couldn't believe how many spookalicious diecuts were on this cartridge! I started by Mod Podging on background papers and then used Distress Inks and Paint to stencil randomly on the background. I also used some Dylusions stamps (stitching and leaves) to stamp on the background and then started layering all the horrifying goodness!

This little spider is simply too cute to spook! After I layered on the web, I covered it with Stickles to add some shimmer. I added a shadow around all my diecuts with a brown marker and then outlined them all with a black Distress Marker.

I just love this street sign! I used some Halloween sentiments from the Bewitched stamp set from Pretty Cute Stamps. The moon was actually cut from Create A Critter. I tried a new technique for those little stars... I used Ranger Texture Paste and embossed through a Heidi Swapp stencil and then added yellow glitter before it dried.

These little goblins just make you want to give out candy!! I love the look of the purple gooey guy after embossing him with the bubble embossing folder and sponging with Dusty Concord Distress Ink. The little witch's hat got a shot of purple Stickles to add some bling and some baker's twine tied through her button. I coloured in the leaves with Tombow markers.

Another stamp from the Bewitched set on the sign, and two goofy pumpkins.  I embossed the leaves with a Christmas embossing folder, just using the leaf portion and then inked them with Distress Ink.

My kids were so excited to see our new piece of Halloween art hanging in out house - I guess it's time to get out the rest of the decorations - and I'm sure I'll get some more gruesome ideas from the rest of the bloggers!

Up next is Angela at 3 Crazy Monkeys!
