2nd Halloween ATC ** Swap at the Flying Unicorn**

Today I designed my second Halloween ATC for the 

swap at The Flying Unicorn.

On this Halloween ATC I did use the 

Gothica Papers from Gecko Galz.

The other Halloween images are ones I painted myself.

The pumpkin was a vintage image..that I added some shading and high lighting..and a tooth too..LOL. The hat and ghost are images that I drew and painted last October in GIMP.

I used my silhouette studio program to create the die cuts for my ATC.  Here they are below.

I used Ranger distress inks in faded jeans to ink the edges of the witch hats and pumpkin ghost combos.  I used Fired brick to ink the ATC background.  It says...TREATS PLZZZ

It is one of those things that are hard to tell the difference.  If you look closely at the ghosts..they are shaded in a purple color..and then you can see the slightly darker faded jeans inking.

I put my Halloween die cuts together to get this little cutie below.

Added Ranger glossy accents to the pumpkin eyes.  A piece of orange ribbon with polka dots..and used a pop dot to adhere the hat.  Orange glitter is dripped around the edges, while a blackish color outlines the hat..purple the ghost..and green on the ribbon.

I am having a fun time with these ATCs.

Hope you have a great day!

Halloween ATC SWAP at the Flying Unicorn

What fun...I joined a Halloween ATC swap at the 

Flying Unicorn.

I will be creating 3 different designs..and making 5 of each design.

So here is the first ATC.

I started out with the new Witching Hour Ephemera from

Gecko Galz.

I used my Silhouette Studio program to design the Halloween ATC.

Here are the die cuts that I created...all cut out by my Silhouette.

All images are from Gecko Galz except for the eyeball which is from the Graphic Fairy.  I have tiny ravens, witches, black cats..and a tombstone.  I used the Gothica papers from Gecko Galz for the background piece, and for the pattern on the tombstone.  

The front of the tombstone says..."Recipes" from the spooky alphabet, and Fermented Zombie Eyes.  On the white tombstone (which will be glued to the back of the colored tombstone) has my recipe for my favorite rum balls :-).

I used Ranger distress inks in Fired brick to ink the ATC background and eyeballs. Black soot for the black cats, ravens and front of tombstones.  Faded jeans and peeled paint for the recipe side of tombstones.  Faded jeans on the witches.

Here is how I put it together.

The witch has some pop dots under her and the back edge of her hat is glued down.  I used pop dots to adhere the black cat and eyeball to the front of the tombstone.  Utee was applied to the black cat, raven and eyeball.  I glued the raven down to the background.  Used my crop o dile to add a grommet and brad to hold the recipe tombstone in place.  Liquid pearls in cantaloupe were applied to the edges.  Last time I looked there were a couple spots open in this group...so please come and join the swap!!

Have a great day!

Gecko Galz Halloween Ornament

Hello Friends and Visitors.

Welcome to my blog.

It is the beginning of the month and that means new ephemera packs at

Gecko Galz.

I will have to tell you that growing up, I didn't get a lot of candy at my

house...so Halloween was a HUGE deal to me.  It was all about the Candy!!  So Halloween has become one of my favorite Holidays...

and mainly just because eating candy and sweets is SUPER FUN!

I do have a Halloween Tree that I put up..but not quite yet.

It is just a black Christmas tree.

Yesterday my Silhouette Studio program...stopped working.  I lost a lot of pages that I had created using my September images.

I was pretty bummed about it.  Oh well!!

Here is the ornament for this week.

I used the September Gothica papers, Witching hour ephemera set.

You should be able to find them soon at

Gecko Galz .

I started out with the images...and created the digi collage below.

I used the Gothica Papers as the pattern for the flower on the side of my Halloween Ornie!!

Now that I see it up close...I am going to add some orange glitter to the orange flower layers.

I created a spider web with my silhouette studio program to cut out the white web, and then created an offset, which was done in black.  Just glued down the web to the black..and added some white glitter to the web.  A touch of orange vintage tinsel to surround the image adds a great touch.  Faded jeans by Ranger was used to ink most edges of the pieces.  Added a little violet glitter...Twisted some gold beading wire for a hanger..added an orange bow and

 TAH DAH..finished.

Thank you for visiting!!

Have a great day!!

Hugs!
