This is Halloween!

Hi there, Christine here with an early Halloween card!  I've been dying to use this stencil since I got it last year and I decided to use it early this year. It is the multi-layered stencil called Halloween Hill.  There are so many layers and so many options- it is really a super-well thought out stencil.

I used a number of distress oxide colors and 2 colors of Simon Hurley paste to achieve the look.  For the sky I first used faded jeans and then inked uncharted mariner over that.  The hill is purely black soot.

For the lower sky I first used shaded lilac and then decided it needed to be darker, so I layered dusty concord over that.  The moon is purely scattered straw and the building and trees are purely villainous potion.

I used Simon Hurley Lunar Paste Cookie Dough paste for the everything, but the sentiment and as you can see it look different based on the background color- the house lights have almost a rosy glow probably because I didn't fully let the color dry (the hill and sky were already very dry).

Finally I used Simon Hurley Lunar Paste in refined copper for the sentiment.  So many perfect sentiments are included in the stencil!  I wanted some shiny elements so I used a bat and pumpkin embellishment set I had in my stash for the bats and pumpkins.  Thank you so much for stopping by!  Have a wonderful day!
