31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN DAY 17

Hello!! Are you still with me? You must love Halloween as much as I do!! Because only a die-hard Halloween lover would still be on board for this 31 Days of Halloween Journey!!

This is my ATC for today. If your just joining the party, I am making the 31 ATC's of Halloween!! Smeared and Smudged is doing the 31 Days of Halloween, and of course, I'm totally on board with that! So, I figured I'd make ATC's, and cards, and home dec, and, and, and.....

Anyway, this ATC uses one of my favorite stamps again. How could you ever get tired of using this stamp!



I inked, stamped, added grungeboard, and some metal letters and VOILA'!

Ingredients:
7 Gypsies ATC blank
Ranger Distress Ink Black Soot
Delta Vintage Lady stamp
Tim Holtz Grungeboard Skull
?Metal letters

Now, I thought I'd show you some of my home decor! This is my fireplace mantle. It has a spider web scarf on it, and everything I LOVE!! The pumpkins, the pumpkin witches, the ghosts, the candles I could go on for 3 days!! The barn star, the flowers, the berry garland, and the berry wreath (and holder) are permanent fixtures. I just decorate around them!




This is the banner I made for the fireplace. I had to take the fireplace pics in 2 parts, or the pics were too far away to see anything. Remember, click on any pic to enlarge.




But THIS is my fav part!!

This is my Witch piece, that I made last year. It is and 8X10 canvas. I used gesso, paint, paper, stamps and trim to start with, then made the Witch. She is made from glue, tissue paper and glitter. I crumpled tissue paper into the shape of a dress, that this Witch was wearing while flying on her broom! She is so awesome! Anyway, after the dress was molded, I covered the whole thing with regular white glue. then, sprinkled the glitter all over it! It got into the nooks and cranies beautifully! I painted her face, and gave her a hat with black flowers on it! I inked over the paint, paper and stamps, and made a moon, and put glitter on that too. I have this, my finest creation, right on the mantle.



Thanks so much for visiting!
