Over at Crazicards swap group on Facebook things have been pretty busy with the monthly ATC, Tag and Postcard swaps. And there have been some fantastic swaps over the past 3 months.
As the winter nights draw in and we start to see more and more cold rainy days we decided to started a "just for fun" weekly ATC challenge. This challenge is for those of the group that have spare time on their hands during the gap between the monthly swaps. And a different theme is set each week.
This week Pauline chose the theme of Halloween and here is my entry :
I really enjoyed making this ATC. Especially the little broomstick which was made out of a little twig from the garden.
I started off by making a round mask to create a moon which I attached to the ATC with photo glue so that it can be easily removed afterwards.
I then took some cotton wool and a Tim Holtz Spiced Marmalade distress ink pad and padded it onto the ATC, I also added a little Scattered Straw and Rusty Hinge to add a little atmosphere. I then used a fine mister to add a little water over the top.
Once that was all dry I decided to draw a tombstone for the broomstick to lean upon. I did this with my Promarkers and because I used shiny card stock the Promarkers gave the tombstone a little marble effect in places.
I then removed the moon mask and coloured slightly with Scattered Straw distress ink before I stamped the crooked tree ranch from the Sheena Douglass "Trees" stamp plate.
I then stamped the Black cat and a few small silhouette flowers and added the word BOO which I coloured with my Promarkers.
To finish off I glued the broomstick to the front using 3D Glue and used a fine liner to draw a tiny spider and web.
I am looking forward to the next weekly swap which starts tomorrow.
