Hello,

It’s my turn as DT for Country View Crafts and Challenges on Facebook, to host the theme this month and surprise surprise, I chose Halloween as the theme.

The prize for this month's challenge is an awesome new release Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Halloween Whatnots CMS491 set.

You can enter 5 times each month with different projects and one winner will be selected randomly.

I adore Janet Klein’s cuties, so I decided to make a wall display of these cute critters for Halloween.

I stamped my 6 images with Memento black ink and then coloured in with alcohol markers. Then I fussy cut these out.

Using my Gel Plate, I created some alcohol ink backgrounds and then pulled the print with some plain collage paper from Dina Wakley Media.

Using a wet brush I drew a square out, just under 3x3 inches and then tore along the edges to get my background size.

I felt these were a little bit busy for the background as they were, so using Distress Inks Tea Dye and Stormy Night, plus Distress Spray Stain Walnut Stain, I smooshed my backgrounds into these, to knock them back. I then gave a light spritz of Distress Spritz Fossilized Amber to add a bit of shine.

I added these to 6 stretched canvases measuring 3x3 inches, that I got from Amazon.

Then I composed my picture on each, using my prepared images and also ephemera from AALL and Create Janet Klein Trixters Elixers and Pumps and Skullz.

And here you have these cute compact pictures that you can hang on a wall or display on a shelf.
