Halloween Card - Kerstin Filou

Hello everyone!

Today a new Halloween inspiration, it's a pop up card with fun.

I enjoy creating spooky Halloween scenes, filled with imagination and a touch of humor.

This 3D card is intended for those who prioritize more important things over constantly cleaning their home. 😁

Halloween is wonderful, it's the only time of year when cobwebs and dust are considered decorative in the home.

Close together ... - Adri Du Preez

Hello everyone!

I am sharing my June design team layout with you. My layout features a selection of beautiful Dusty Attic chipboard pieces. I used pattern paper from the 49 and Market Naturalist Collection.

These are photos from our family shoot in March. One of the photos shows my daughter and her family facing the hill where her childhood home is. Many happy memories were

made there.

Here is my layout.

All the chippies were first covered with a layer of white gesso, except for the little house from the Main Street collections and the mini chicken wire.

I adore this title, and it is perfect for my layout and so very true. The title was dry brushed with Americana Acrylic paint in Peaches 'n Cream, Melon, and

then white acrylic paint. The cute stemmed hearts were painted with Americana Acrylic

paint in Pineapple.

I dry brushed the house and chicken wire with Americana Acrylic paint in Burnt Umber

and True Ochre.

The grass clusters were coloured with Ranger Distress Oxide in Vintage Photo. Moved

Lawn and Crushed Olive.

The Foliage #17 was also painted with Americana Acrylic paint in Arbor Green and

dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

The Laurel Sprigs and Branches and Berries were also painted with Americana Acrylic paint in Hauser Light Green, Arbor Green, and Melon and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.
