I decided to use the Halloween Stamp set from JOFY Paperartsy (JOFY83).

In my Dylusions square journal after sealing off the area around it, I created the background using Distress Spray Stains: Black Soot, Villainous Potion, Lost Shadow and Milled Lavender and Hickory Smoke Distress Spritz around Tim Holtz’s Moon Mask, which I bled around the edges using a Distress water spritzer. To finish the inner of the moon mask I blended Distress Oxide Old Paper over it.

Once dry, I stencilled JOFY's new star circle stencil PS478 around the moon with Distress Black Texture Paste. I only stencilled the outer stars and not the inner part. I then blended some Distress Oxide Hickory Smoke at the bottom right of the page to create a ‘hill’.

On a piece of white card, I stamped the images with Black Archival Ink and coloured with coloured pencils and fussy cut these out.

I added a piece of text from a Horror book to the upper corner and a piece below the Ghoul and Gravestone and blended these into the page. I also added a strip of Vinyl printed tape to the side of the page.

I glued the gravestones in place on my page and stuck the ghoul down with 3D foam tape to add a bit of depth. Then I stamped Boo to the left of these to finish, made a few white accents on my images and here’s my completed journal page.
