31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN DAY 18

What's up!!

Here's today's ATC! I used a new technique for this one. I inked the background with Distress Ink, and sprayed it with water, so the ink ran. I like that look. Then, I stamped my sugar skulls. And, I used these Souffle 3D opaque pens, and made dots all around the ATC. Different color dots everywhere. One of my bloggy friends does this a lot, and far better than I, but I tried it, and i really got into it. Very relaxing making dots. Dot after dot. On and On....



Ingredients:
Ranger Distress Inks vintage photo and pummice stone
Bombshell Stamps Sugar Skulls stamp set
Copics
?2 little flowers
Orange Stickles
Souffle 3D opaque pens by Sakura


SO! Today, I wanted to show you my Halloween tree!

I've had this tree for 8ish years. I used it for at least 2 years before I moved here, so yeah, that sounds right. I, personally, think EVERYONE should have a Halloween tree! It has ribbons, and pumpkins, and ghosts, and my mummy. Yes, my mummy. He always takes center stage with his "I (heart) my mummy" sign. I like to add real pine cones, and foliage from my yard to it too. Of course I made the huge bow on top!




PURPLE CAT! How did you get in here!



See you tomorrow!
