Can you feel all the creatures of the night getting restless as the scariest month of the year fast approaches? If you dare to look into the fog on the night of a full moon you just might be able to make out some ghostly shapes of all the creatures of the Fae drawing near!
Here's my 1st Halloween project of the year designed for week 1 of the new challenge over at the Third Coast Challenge Blog - TCCC#5 Something Wicked This Fae (way) Comes Bingo Challenge.
I used the following Third Coast Rubber Stamps on this one:
VB-237-L Devilment, VB-291-P Batty for Halloween, FA-494-K Grave Digger, VB-299-P Halloween Queen, VB-300-J Pumpkin Princess, CH-183-J Sign Stump, VB-041-EE Happy Bat Sm.
As you already know I'm a huge fan of fantasy/scifi and LOVED the X-Files, love Supernatural and now I'm currently watching Lost Girl and this new show calls the creatures of the magical world, Fae!
"Fae" is just another word for all people/creatures that belong in the magical, supernatural, paranormal, mythical or fantasy world. So basically there's humans and then there's Fae. Ghosts, werewolves, succubi, vampires, dragons, mermaids, fairies, witches and all kinds of monsters, demons and beasts of both good and evil fall under the classification of Fae!
From the TCCC#5 Bingo Grid I selected the following 3 elements:
Purple, Fae, Glitter and went with Black too!
The 3 elements for the challenge must be in a row where all the blocks touch and the row can run either horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
1. Stamp the Sign Stump with Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto a sheet of Strathmore Bristol Smooth heavy weight cardstock then stamp the Grave Digger next to so it looks like he's leaning against it.
2. Create a mask for the 2 images from post-it notes.
3. Stamp a collage of the remaining images in the background with London Fog Memento ink. After inking up each one stamp it first onto a piece of scrap paper so that the next impression is fainter.
4. Cut the panel down and distress the edges with Tim's paper distresser tool.
5. Start building up the fog by applying London Fog Memento ink with Tim's foam applicator tool over the entire panel but leave the Grave Digger and Sign areas mostly white. Go over the same areas with Gray Flannel Memento ink.
6. Add touches of Shaded Lilac Distress Ink and then Elderberry Memento ink to start adding shades of purple to the fog.
7. Add Black Soot Distress Ink to the outer edges.
Draw in wisps of fog and shade and make areas of the shrouded figures appear more prominent with Slate Grey Prismacolor pencil. Hand write the warning message on the sign stump with a black Sharpie marker and colour the Grave Digger and the Sign Stump with the following Prismacolor pencils: Cream, Goldenrod, Sienna Brown, Burnt Ochre, Dark Brown, Tuscan Red, Black Cherry and Indigo Blue. Cut mats from lilac and black cardstock and adhere the stamped panel to the lilac mat with Scotch Quick-Dry adhesive. Punch small holes in all four corners and attach black glittered swirly brads (Recollections). Then adhere everything to the black mat with Quick-Dry adhesive. Apply Star Dust Stickles Glitter Glue all around the lilac mat edge - I love the ultra-violet flecks in it! Die cut out an easel stand for the back of the project with Tim's Small Easel Alterations die and adhere it to the back with QDA too.
