Did you know that this Halloween also happens to be a blue moon? Not surprising for 2020, which inspired this tag.
The background started as a collage of torn pieces of a crossword puzzle, a Bingo card, and a stamped calendar for October, using an older clear Prima stamp. Then I covered it all with white gesso, and colored it with Distress Spray Stains (Blueprint Sketch, Broken China, and Wilted Violet) and Lindy's Gang Spray (Freaky FrankenLime) on the bottom. After splattering with water, I also did some splatters with Lindy's Gang (Sidewalk Chalk) Spray. The moon was done with the technique seen here on Youtube, and the title using old alpha stickers covered with (Black Diamond) Stickles.
The chipboard date was covered with black gesso and embossed with Emerald Creek (Mirror Platinum) Embossing Powder. Behind the 3, I stamped a ghost with Lindy's Gang (Sidewalk Chalk) Spray. The tombstones got a marbled look by combining white and grey gesso together with a palette knife.
The gate, branch, and tombstones were all cut with the Cricut Expression using the October 31st cartridge. After coating the gate and branch with black gesso, I embossed them with Emerald Creek (Onyx Frost) Embossing Powder.
Colorful fibers were added to the top and bottom, with (Black Soot) Distress Ink finishing the edges.
Thanks for stopping by, and take care!
