happy halloween...a tutorial 28

Hi there! I hope you had a great weekend! I was feeling artsy and created so I pulled out an art journal and had so much fun creating a couple of Halloween themed pages.
I was inspired by the current A Vintage Journey where the challenge is to create a project in an art journal while incorporating any Tim Holtz techniques, style or products. I combined a variety of Tim Holtz stencils, paints, industrious stickers, tissue paper, and a stamp to create my two art journal pages:
Lots of layers and layers:





I took a few step shots along the way, sharing my creative process:
step 1:
create a collaged tissue paper background then apply light random coat of white gesso:
step 2:
randomly stencil Halloween words:
step 3:
randomly apply various Distress Paints:
step 4:
place stencil where desired then apply embossing fluid followed with embossing powder, heat:
For sketch inspiration, I joined along with the Scrap Africa  sketch challenge:
and for color inspiration, I joined along with the ColourQ colour challenge:
Many thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a great day / evening!
Be Sweet ;)
