We have never celebrated Halloween, usually buy some lollies in case someone knocks, very rarely anyone does, but that's OK, I then get to eat the lollies.
There are a number of images in the kit and I decided to create an Art Journal Page (this particular Art book is just about finished, then I get to start on my Mixed Media Art Journal)
I printed the images (ghosts, banners, bows, spider and sentiment) onto a background digital paper of a haunted house.
Coloured the bows, banners and the sentiment (which actually says I'm here for the boos) I took out the "I'm" as there are more than one ghost on the page. I have used glossy accents and glitter to highlight parts of the page. Drew a web with crystal glitter and a spider with black glitter.

This month's challenge is Halloween and/or Autumn. As I don't celebrate Halloween and usually do an Autumn project (which is way outside my time zone, in fact ,today will mark the second month of Spring for me), I decided to make a journal card for Halloween, maybe I can write down all the treats I will eat when no-one comes a knocking. lol
The trees are from my stash, they were in a digital set, I recoloured them digitally and have drown eyes on them. The pumpkin is from a closed store (sadly, they closed some time ago, but I still have a number of their images.) The pumpkin has been coloured with copic pens and fussy cut. The card has been embossed with a brick pattern embossing card.
And of course there is some sparkle (on their eyes)
