I fancied making something really light hearted and have been messing about with this little Hallowe'en journal. The backgrounds are a mixture of acrylic paints, distress inks, sprays, stencils and general splattering about. The stamps are Inkadinkado and Stampotique.
This page uses one of the new Hallowe'en Spellbinders Shapeabilities dies. I've used a couple of items here book that I haven't used for a long time - shrink plastic and lightly coloured the tree and grave stones with metallic rub ons (the coloured waxy stuff!)
These little characters who have suddenly appeared all over the place can be acquired from The Octopode Factory. As usual, you can click on the images to get a more detailed view.
Edit: Realised this could be entered into this weeks Simon Says Stamp and Show which is "Something spookay" (I can just hear Bill from True Blood saying that lol)
