Good morning all.

Today I'm a guest designer for the Digitally Made October challenge, the theme is Halloween.

My children went to a few Halloween parties when they were younger, so I've used some photos of them on my Halloween page.

I used Craft Artist and some digi kits to put the page together.

Thank you for taking a look, have a lovely day. xxx Hazel.

Low Flying Skulls Journal Page

I've done a journal page for my October Mixed Media Mojo DT piece. The theme for the latest challenge is Halloween/Wings.

I painted the background with acrylic paint and stencilled a skull and letters with modelling paste.

I then dribbled some Dylusion ink down the page.

I stamped the pumpkins[Hero Arts], bottles[Creative Expressions] and wings[Hampton Arts] onto card and coloured them with acrylic paint. I covered the small wooden skulls with DecoArt Media Crackle Paste. When the paste had dried I glued the wings to the back of the skulls and glued all the stamped images to the page. I gave the page a coat of Multi Matte Medium, when this dried I added more colour to the images with some Faber-Castell Pitt pens. I used a white Posca Pen to whiten the larger skull.

I hope you can find time to visit and enter the challenge, my team mates have made some fabulous samples and they would love you to take a look.

Have a lovely day.

xxx Hazel.

Halloween Journal Page

Today I'd like to share with you my Halloween journal page - I had great fun making it.

I'm linking it to the following challenges

That's Crafty - Spooky.
Order Of The Opus Gluei - Ghostly Goings On.
Make My Monday - Halloween.
Haunted Design House - Hellacious Halloween.

I started by painting the page with gesso and then I used an Andy Skinner skull mask with some modelling paste. When everything had dried I sprayed it with different colours of Dylusion ink. I used an orange Zig felt tip pen to make some flames at the bottom of the page. The bats and web were stamped straight onto the page, all the other images were stamped onto tissue paper and glued to the page. I made a wash with black acrylic paint and water and painted it over the skull, when I mopped up some of the  wash it took some of the inks away and I rather like the effect it had on the skull.

The stamps I used are
Stampotique - the spider.
Inkadinkado - the two graves at the bottom of the page, on says "I'll be back" and the other one says "Holy smoke, it's hot down here.
Cherry Pie Art Stamps - bats, skeletons, gravestones,

Little Creatures

Little Creatures is this weeks theme at Less Is More.

I stamped the web and spider with black archival and then embossed it using a Cuttlebug folder. I matted it onto black card and adhered it to a card blank and then stamped the sentiment.
I used Inkadinkado stamps for the web and spider, the sentiment is a Cherry Pie Art Stamp.

Spooky Coffin

I'd like to share with you my Halloween Coffin done the Andy Skinner way, I had a lot of fun making it.

I used Tando Creative products plus some plastic spiders and skelleton, I also added other bits and bobs to give it a bit of texture.

After putting the coffin together I painted it with black gesso and adhered the rest of the bits onto it. I used DecoArt paints to colour it and when the paints were dry I added some Treasure Brass and some varnish.

Here is a photo of the inside of the box.

I'd like to enter my coffin in the following challenges.

Macabre Monday Dimensional Halloween.
Altered Eclectics Always Anything Altered.

Gecko Galz Halloween Hanging

This is my latest DT piece for GECKO GALZ. I used a frame from the Spooky Sentiments Ephemera Sheets and the lovely witch images are from the Witching Hour Ephemera Sheets. I enlarged the frame and printed one copy then I cropped the pumpkins and printed them four time so that I could 3D them. I attached the frame to a 9"x5" piece of mountboard that I'd painted with orange and black acrylic paint. I reduced the witch images to fit the frame then attached them to the frame. I stuck torn bits of tissue tape to the images to make it look like that they were stuck down with it. I dyed a white piece of fabric with rusty hinge and peeled paint Distress Stains and water, a piece was attached to the bottom of the hanging and I used a strip for the hanger. For the spiders and web I used a Quickutz die and black card. I also attached three buttons.
