And now for my project...

I created a Halloween Banner!! I had a very tough time getting a good picture of this. It is just a little too large to get a good shot.

The base of each panel is a Spellbinders Heirloom Legacy die. A bit of tulle was added for some texture. The patterned papers are from My Mind's Eye. The witch is a Tim Holtz Bewitching Hour die. She was cut several times to get the different colors. The sentiment is from the CDD Ghostly Greetings stamp set. I masked off the other lines so that I could break it up for each panel. Each line was heat embossed with Zing Vanilla Embossing Powder.

The black cat is a TH Scaredy Cat die and the fence is a TH On the Fence Die. The black cat was embossed with TH Black Soot Distress Embossing Powder.

The house is a TH Rickety House die. It was embossed with a TH Wood Planks die. The bat is a TH Bewitching Hour die and it was embossed with TH Black Soot Embossing Powder.

The moon and stars are a TH Crescent Moon and Stars die. The edges were inked with TH Walnut Distress Ink.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. DL.Art - September Linky

Sea Sallie, the beautiful mermaid is a Prima Julie Nutting Doll stamp. Her hair and skin were colored with Prismacolor Pencils. A Rubber Stampede Crackle-Background stamp was used on her tail. It was then covered with Glossy Accents, as was the TH Seahorse die. The sea grasses are from the TH Spring Greenery die. The starfish and shells are from my stash. They were covered with Ranger Antiquities Verdigris Embossing Powder. Cork paper was used for the bottom of the ocean.

The sentiment is from the awesome Capture The Good Times stamp set. It was heat embossed with Veridgris and the edges were inked with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink.
