Halloween Art Journal Spread with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Art Journaling".

It's a shame that it's already Halloween this week, and that I've to wait almost a year for the next one :(. We don't celebrate Halloween here in the Netherlands, so that's why I'm sorry it's already this week, otherwise I had a nice party to look forward too... Anyway, back to the challenge, art journaling. I made a spread and of course in orange, as it's my color for this year's Halloween. You probably didn't expect anything else from me, I bet;). I first applied the Manuscript stencil texture with Texture Paste, which I colored black with Distress Paint Black Soot.

I first started with the background and applied a layer of Clear Gesso. I used the Manuscript stencil with Texture Paste which I darkened with Distress Paint Black Soot.

Pink Halloween card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "All Things Pink".

This month is the breast cancer awareness month, a super important month. I'm still in the Halloween mood, so I made combination and made a pink Halloween card. I started with the ZigZag stencil, which I used with Texture Paste that I colored black with Distress Paint Black Soot. When it was dry, I went over it with Opal Magic Rose-Gold Paint. This made the zigzag pretty golden.

Halloween Fall card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Autumn/Fall". And as it's the first Monday of the month, we're showcasing Tim Holtz products. So if you have any, we'd love to see them used in your project(s)!

What is more fall than Halloween? And I'm still in the Halloween mood and apparently also in the color orange, LOL! Although orange is also really an autumn color, so perfect for this challenge. I started with Distress Oxide Spiced Marmalade and Distress Inks Ripe Persimmon and Ground Espresso. Then I also added Distress Ink Black Soot. With a blending tool I gave the lighter areas some color with Distress Ink Spiced Marmalade and Ripe Persimmon and made the edges a bit darker with Ground Espresso.
