I hope you've enjoyed all the amazing ideas thus far for inspiring your own "handmade Halloween", and I assure you- there's much more to come!! We're celebrating this spookiest of holidays with the fabulous "Once Upon A Halloween" collection from Webster's Pages~ and let me tell you, it's been a real TREAT (hee hee) designing with this range. And for this very special event, I put together a fun "Halloween scene" layout.
All a project like this needs is a little bit of inspiration. I had the adorable photo- but I needed the perfect "scene" in which to place him. So I started with this "Haunted House":
I fussy cut the house and then layered it over the windows. Of course this house needed to be brought to "life" to suit my spooky scene. I wanted it to be a bit grungy and scary- one that might entice the "spooked" look on my little guy's face! So I used some texture paste and a brick mask for the wall, which I then sprayed with a bit of orange and black mist.
Then with a small circle punch I punched away at the "Lantern Light" paper before snipping in half and layering over my rooftop.
I brought to life the "lights" in the doorway with a little bling and then borrowed a treat bag from the "Trick or Treat" paper...
Let the fussy cutting begin! Lots of intricate details "carved" from the "Pumpkin Carving" paper:
Other Products Used:
Halloween Frame (Scrap FX)
Thanks so very much for visiting my blog and taking a look at my project :). I hope I've added to the inspiration today and encouraged you to keep on going~ Your next stop is the gorgeous and talented Tomoko Takahashi~ I'm certain you'll be blown away by what she's created just for you :D~ Happy Hopping and Good Luck~!!
