It's a fabulous Halloween theme starting today at A Vintage Journey - this time the choice of Anne (I haven't met Anne but she seems to be a dear, kind lady and of course a superb crafter.)
I decided on a simple, little triptych with lots of embossing and die cuts. I used orange card and highlighted the embossed areas with black soot DI and the black card was highlighted with an orange archival ink - I love this effect
Here are a few more piccies of each panel:
All finished off with some died cheesecloth.
Do pay a visit to A Vintage Journey where you can be guaranteed some fabulously spooky inspiration from the team.
I would like to add my latest Halloween creation into the following challenges:
Happy Friday everyone and thanks for visiting.

ReplyDeleteI really like the composition of this piece. Very nice! Great use of the dies and embossing folders. I have one question, what dies did you use for the spooky letters?
ReplyDeleteHi - so sorry I cant remember! It was made a few years ago now... I think it was a die I borrowed at a crop - so not much help !
