Good morning folks.
It's been Halloween over at
The Craft Barn blog this week and today I've this journal page to share with you.
The background is done with paints and pastes and I love the deep reds. I'd done the background a while ago and didn't know what to do with it. Then Tim's Apothecary stamps arrived and the question was answered!
A lovely black feather sets the tone nicely. I placed it just above the sentiment to look as if it was written with the feather.
I stamped the skull onto card and wrinkled it up pressed it flat and used distress ink to catch the creases; spritzed with water and ironed flat. It was attached to the page on 3 sides creating a picket for a tag.
The little bag was filled with alcohol ink. The label was stamped onto card and aged with distress inks before gluing to the bag and adding to the page. The button was from a flea market.
Do hop on over to The Craft Barn blog
