Halloween Page

 This month's The Outlawz Progressive Freebie Challenge image is from Oddball Art, called Halloween Kit.  Check out all the details at: The Outlawz  Monthly Progressive Freebie Challenge.

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.

And of course there is some sparkle (on their eyes)
