Time for a New Challenge

    Hi everyone. Happy Tuesday. Since it's Tuesday and I'm posting that means it's time for a new challenge at Try It on Tuesday.

      But first, thank you everyone who joined our Autumn Colors challenge. And thank you Elisa for being a wonderful guest designer for that challenge.  The last 2 weeks went by so fast, and now it's time for our new topic which is HALLOWEEN. 

   I'm sharing a page from a little Halloween journal I created this month. Sadly the dot on the exclamation point at the end of the word boo fell off and went somewhere. 😒

    I covered my page with this bone paper and I ran it at a diagonal to give it a little more interest. Then I die cut the pocket from some black left over packaging.

    I then created a couple of tags. They didn't take long because I used a lot of stickers and pre-printed images for them.

    For this tag I inked the background with black ink and then splattered some black watercolor paint  to give it some details. Except for the little bat circle, all of the images are from an old sticker set I had in my stash. The little bat circle was also in my stash, attached to a brad from October Afternoon.  I cut the Brad part away and then attached it.

     The other tag came pre-printed, but I still splattered black watercolor paint over (but once it was finished this time.) I added some Janet Klein images from AALL&Create  to it, and then I finished by adding a puffy star sticker (from the same sheet as the ghosts in the other tag) and also a word from a package of Tim Holtz Halloween images.

    Don't forget to check out all the other Halloween inspired art by our designers. There are some super ideas there!

   This challenge, as always, runs for 2 weeks, and at Try It on Tuesday you can link up any type of art related to the challenge.  I think not super scary Halloween is lots of fun, and so I'm looking forward to seeing what creative pieces people share.  I hope you'll join us at TIOT. 

   I am also linking this page up to Elle's Steampunk, Halloween or Halloween Steampunk at Art Journal Journey.
