Layout 11 Only Bad Witches Are Ugly! UPDATED

 

 What it loos like now :) 

I'm finally feeling it. I designed the witch stirring the cauldron, voodoo dolls, & cat SVGs in Inkscape, and the wording in SCAL. See SVG FILES for the free cut files :)

This is what it looked like before....

 This background I loved so much I could not cover the left page at all (same as on my 8th layout live in the moment)

Layout 10 Happy Halloween

 I wanted to make this page interactive, so I attached white twine from the web to the spider so the spider moves around the page.

The web crackled on its own after I sealed it with Homemade Mod Podge.

 Here's a close up of the spider, I have a lot of friends who hate spiders, so I painted cartoon eyes on him to make him cute instead of creepy.

 Here I used Tim Holtz Distress Markers: To color Mummy: Antique Linen & Old Paper. To color Pumpkin: Spiced Marmalade, Ripe Persimmon & Squeezed Lemonade. To color Grass: Peeled Paint & Mowed Lawn. To color Dog: Gathered Twigs & Rusty Hinge.

Layout 9 True Love Is Effortless

I'm Not feeling this one so much, I will have another go at it another time.  It went through a lot of changes, and I'm still not happy with it. I intend to work a lot more on this one at a later date I'm just not inspired to do so at present because I have other projects I am working on. Below is a picture of the original background created using Tim Holtz Tissue wrap Mellange & festive Berries Distress Stain...

These Flowers From my stash were originally inked with Tim Holtz Distress Stains, but then painted black because I decided it was too much vibrant color and wanted to tone it down. So  here is what they looked like before and after...

....And here are the rest of the detail pictures.... as always supply list is posted below...
