Halloween week - Di

Hi, 

Yes, it's this time of year again (my favourite holiday personally), and if you are one who celebrates Halloween, with friends or with your kids, this week will be very inspirational. The DT has been creating a lot of samples from cards to decorations on the Halloween theme. 

We are going to start with Mrs Tando Creative, aka Di Oliver and a lovely Halloween village which she made for a class at the Craft Barn. 

Stay tuned as Gio has also made one, which will be featured later this week.

Enjoy!

Here are some of the products that Di used...

I first put together the Corner Base and then using screwed up newspaper I built up the scenery base with Modroc.  

I used scrap pieces of chipboard where the houses were going to go so that they lay flat on the Modroc. 

This was left to dry while I decorated the houses with paints and some Halloween pieces.

Once the Modroc is dry, paint the base in greens, browns and oranges blending colours as you go until you’re happy with the result. 

Glue the houses to the base and decorate the gravestones and pumpkins to finish off the scene.

Di used:

Tando Corner Base

Mini house trios x2

A selection of Tando Halloween minis

Modroc

Paints

Adhesive

ALPHA DICTIONARY CHALLENGE - LETTER L

Hi everyone, 

Week 21 for our Alpha Dictionary challenge... 

Challenge with a twist this fortnight. 

LETTER L

The window can be an "opening one" like on Gio's page... or non opening like on Karen's... or a window stamp (but be creative)
I'm sure you will come up with brilliant ideas ;)

Karen chose Lemon for her fruit journal

Have fun!

Looking forward to seeing your pages.
