Tombstone Swap from Retro Cafe Art Gallery and a SALE!

Some of my favorite color combinations are used for traditional Halloween projects.

Orange...Purple....and Green.

So these Tombstones for Kristin's Swap are a lot of fun for me. The Antique Skeleton Cut-Outs are perfect for these little tombstones.

I like to use Fresco Paints applied with Cut-n-Dry foam for a lot of my backgrounds. Then I stamped with the Mini Halloween 3 set from Tim Holtz in various Archival Ink colors.

The Bats in the background are added using the Bat Camp stencil and archival ink. 

The Cat Cut-Out and Bat Cut-Out have some white Sharpie Poster pen outlines.

This Zombie hand is reaching for the bats that are flying away. I really love the intricate cut of this Spider Web Tombstone.

 

The background is stamped onto Finnabair Sunrise Sunset Paper here. Great colors for this. And the Newsprint Words are layered onto mat board. 

The EEK is painted and used as a base for out little Skeleton's feet to perch upon.

You've gotta love the Bat Charm.

Now this one is altogether different. It has an Ultra Thick Embossing Powder background with some gold paint dabbed over spots. I pushed the tombstone into the embossing ink and then added different colors of my discontinued Brightz UTEE before hitting it all with the heat tool.

The Cat Lantern is hanging from a snap back.

The little Moon Face is made from Paper Clay and a Punch Mold from RCAG and is painted with various paints with a bit of ink.

These Art Doll Faces are just way too much fun, and VERY easy to make.

I stamped the little Trick or Treaters on the backs and signed them. This one has branches stamped around the edges, and some vintage text...all from the same stamp set. LOVE IT!

I really like how they have spots of the background showing through them. Kind of looks like they're at a bonfire or watching the sun set on their way into the Scary Night!

BOO!
