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.
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!

Great Halloween page Sharon. I love the pumpkins and all those bats. You've inspired me to start some too. :) Happy new week. Thanks for joining Mia at AJJ also. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteAdding sewing on a journal page elevates it to an even higher plane. This is not just fun it it jaw dropping awesome. Thank you so much for this amazing entry at AJJ using Mia's background theme. I love the circles, the witchy feel and the bats, too.

ReplyDeleteIs it time for halloween? Can I get my witches, pumpkins, cats, bats and spiders out?
ReplyDeleteWell your page is inspiring me and my fingers are itching to get roaming in my craft room plus I had a pumpkin latte yesterday. I love halloween and am tempted to go and see what is on offer at Art Stacks. Love what you have chosen to use today.
The background of music, the crescent moon top left, the bats flying hither and thither, the girl and the pumpkins, the words and your complimentary purple circles - so much to see and that is not counting all the stitching you did too.
Sharon, you had fun creating this page and I had fun looking at it over and over again. Yes, you got me, off to Art Stacks.
Hugs, Neet xx
Beautifully designed art page
