I'm now super excited to kick off the spooktivities with my project for
πŸŽƒDay 1 of 31 Days of Halloween 2019πŸŽƒ
The Puppet Master welcomes you to the Quirkleighs CarnEvil!


 As the sun sets a sinister circus appears on the outskirts of town!


There's a strange man out front selling tickets!
His clawed hands dance strangely through the air! 


Everyone begins to jerkily walk towards the Big Top!


Ensnared by The Puppet Master you are now the captive audience of The Quirkleighs CarnEvil!
mwahahahahahaha😈


I coloured The Quirkleighs CarnEvil Puppet Master collage with Copic markers and added luxurious details with a metallic gold gel pen and white gel pen highlights.  I enlarged and printed out the banner from The Puppet Master collage 3 times to create the dramatic 3D fussy cut banner.


I used a Crafter's Companion Decorative Edge die to cut the bottom edge of the Puppet Master panel and a black cardstock panel to give the feel of a Big Top tent frill.


I stamped the CarnEvil stamp by Recollections with black pigment ink onto a fun sheet of Tim Holtz Idea-ology Retro Grunge paper and embossed it with PSX Black Sparkle embossing powder. 


The fun little bat is a die cut from Tim's Ghoulish Sizzix Thinlits set cut from Crafter's Companion heavy weight black cardstock and sparkled up with Spectrum Noir clear sparkle pen.  I grunged up all the panels with Black Soot Distress Ink and applied Ranger Texture Paste coloured with Dylusions black paint using Tim's large Speckles layering stencil.  I finished off all the edges with Midas Gold Spectrum Noir metallic pigment ink. 


The fabulous Haunted Gates to my Quirkleighs CarnEvil is by Stampendous!  I stamped the gates onto Crafter's Companion construction acetate with black StazOn ink, fussy cut out and then cut them in half so the gates open.  I stamped the "Open if you dare" sign onto white cardstock, coloured with Copics and adhered to the gate.


The Quirkleighs CarnEvil Puppet Master collage is on FLASH SALE until midnight tonight pacific!
