Happy Halloween . . . for ArtStacks and Art Journal Journey Monthly!

Hi everyone!  I am here today sharing a project that I made for ArtStacks.  First of all, I cannot believe that September is here already!!  And secondly, I would love for you to take a look at what I created . . .

I've made a mixed media art journal page using a pack from ArtStacks' newest "Seasonal Celebrations" category. 

Tamara Laporte (#willowing) has done it again with a fabulous ArtStacks pack full of all sorts of Halloween trickery! Gorgeous witches, scary bats and spiders and oh-so-cute little monsters and pumpkins are supported by words and other images to match.

This pack is available in both digital and printed forms.

Head over to www.artstacks.com.au/shop to see what's inside this pack!

And here is the art journal page that I made:

I couldn't wait to create something with Tam's new, amazing "Trick or Treat" pack. 

Here are my creative steps:

• Tamara Laporte’s “Trick or Treat” pack was used to create a Halloween-themed art journal page.
• I used digital images that I printed at home.
• “Spooky” sheet music was adhered to a page in my manilla art journal.
• The 'witch, cat, and pumpkins' images from the pack were used as my focal point.
• Complementary water-colored swirls and machine-stitched circles were added.
• Tissue paper bats were added using gel medium and allowed to dry.
• The fussy cut crescent moon was glued to the top of the page.
• The entire page was stitched around.
• The “Happy Halloween” title from the pack was added using pop dots.

It was so much fun combining the paper and digital images. I hope you’re inspired to make a Halloween-themed project of your own!

I am linking up my page to Art Journal Journey Monthly's challenge for September.

This month is being hosted by Mia from Craftartista.

Her theme for September is ‘Make Your Own Background!' 

I loved making my own background on my art journal page for Mia's theme. 

I also want to take a moment to thank you to everyone at AJJ. I look forward to creating something for their challenge every month.

That's it for today.  Thanks for stopping by my blog!  Enjoy your September.
