Simon Says - Spooky

Hi Everyone...welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. Thank you for joining us for last week's challenge and we hope you can join us this week too because

and the theme for this week is...

SPOOKY

I decorated a Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Mini Etcetera Tag to tell the story of the spooky house where a strange woman lives with her batty friends, would you brave enough to visit?  I used Tim Holtz Idea-ology Backdrops Vol 4, Stampers Anonymous Bricked and Mini Fractured Layering Stencils with Distress Grit Paste Crypt and Distress Black Texture Paste, Idea-ology Halloween Layers and Paper Dolls, Idea-ology Broomsticks and Bouquet Findings.

I covered the Mini Etcetera Tag with a neutral paper from Idea-ology Backdrops Vol.4 using Distress Collage Medium and once dry, sanded the edges to remove the excess paper.

I applied Distress Grit Paste Crypt through the Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Bricked Layering Stencil.

I added Clippings Stickers from the Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Halloween Sticker Book and applied Black Distress Texture Paste through the Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Fractured Mini Layering Stencil from Set 56.

I fussy cut around the frame from the Halloween Layers and Paper Dolls pack and trimmed the Paper Doll to fit inside the frame. I applied a coat of Distress Collage Medium over both, coloured with Ominous Twilight Distress Mica Crayon and Black Soot Distress Crayon using a Detailer Brush and smudged Fallen Acorn Distress Mica Crayon around the edges of the frame using my finger.

I fixed strips of Idea-ology Mummy Cloth using dots of Distress Collage Medium and fixed the frame in place popped up on foam squares to create dimension.

I sanded the numbers from the Layers and Paper Dolls pack, fixed in place with foam squares and added bats from the same pack and Idea-ology Halloween Remnant Rubs. 

I tied strips of Mummy Cloth around the handle of the Idea-ology Broomstick and fixed in place using a hot glue gun.

I spritzed Idea-ology Bouquet Findings with Ominous Twilight, Mulled Cider Distress Mica Stains and water and left on kitchen roll to dry.

To finish I fixed the Bouquet Findings Flowers to the broomstick, added splatters of Mulled Cider Distress Mica Stain and googly eyes to the bats.
