πŸ’€ Reaper Rising πŸ’€
card by Leigh
 
My Day 25 of 31 Days of Halloween Hop inspiration for you today is a creepy dark magic scene featuring Reaper, Zella and Zylah Shadow FaeriesπŸŽƒ
 

 The witching hour draws near and the Shadow Faeries are busy conjuring their dark master!


Here he comes, the Reaper is Rising, surrounded by mystic fire!


I coloured the Reaper with Copics and fussy cut him out and printed the Shadow Faeries and a couple of the Reaper’s bats out onto mixed media cardstock I coloured with Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain and Wild Honey Distress Oxide sprays.  I love the rusted metal look to the background and die cuts.  I then painted a halo with lightning around the Reaper with glow-in-the-dark paint.


I used mixed media cardstock left over from previous projects to cut out Tim’s Funky Foliage and Twisted Edge die cuts.  To give the die cut pieces a chunkier feel I also cut them out of heavy weight black cardstock and layered them..
 

 To frame the scene I added Tim’s mini twisted stencil detailing around 3 sides with Black Soot Distress Ink.  I  also edged all the die cuts with Black Soot then glued them to the bottom edge.  I adhered the panel to a folded base made from heavy weight cardstock and finished by adhering the Reaper in place with black foam tape.

πŸ’€ Reaper Luminary πŸ’€
by Leigh

 I love love love luminaries and had an absolute blast making this one featuring my wicked new Reaper from this year’s Halloween release!
 
 
 I printed Reaper out onto a sheet of vellum and applied Tim’s Cranberry, Terra Cotta, Ginger and Caramel Alcohol Inks to the reverse side to create the distressed luminary panel.


The frame is a gorgeous cut file I found at the Silhouette Design store by Rivka Wilkins which I modified by removing elements from the center oval and I also resized it and elongated the shape.  I cut the frame out twice from black heavy weight cardstock for strength and twice from diamond patterned cardstock.  I glued one of each panel together and then grunged everything up with Fired Brick and Black Soot Distress Inks and a coat of Tim’s crazing medium to simulate rusted metal.  Then adhered the vellum panel to the back of one of the frame pieces.

  
 
I applied Bronze Viva Decor Pearl pen to the cobweb cutouts on the front panel of the frame to create a beautiful stained glass effect that sparkles during the day and dances prettily in flickering candle light at night.  I then assembled the frame by adhering the 2 panels together just along the top edge and scored a crease line to the back top edge to form the easel.
 

The finishing touch was the Jillibean Soup "Something Wicked" sentiment cut file from Silhouette which I converted into a print and cut and coloured with Fired Brick, Tea Dye and Black Soot Distress Inks then mounted onto the frame with black foam tape. 

Here's a little video showing the luminary in action!

Say hello to the Reaper!
 
The Reaper is magnificent in his scariness!
His skull with dark eye sockets and a wicked toothy maw glares from beneath his tattered hooded robe.  In his bony right hand he grips a scary scythe mounted on a gnarled and twisted wooden branch as he looms menacingly from the realm of shadows with a cauldron of bats flying behind him.
You definitely do not want to encounter him this Halloween but what a magnificent sight he would be to behold!
