Here's my October page for The Craft Barn's Calendar Challenge where the theme is ORANGE and PUMPKINS. I thought orange was a bit too close to last month's so I've gone for a purple background with a splash of orange.
The base is a wash of Shaded Lilac Distress Stain edged with Purple Colour Chemistry ink. I've also used the Purple ink for the stamping - some Tim Holtz, some Chocolate Baroque. The pumpkins are the BOO! set from Oak House Studio - a round circle which I used to create the moon, the pumpkin outline and then you get a choice of scary faces! It's just finished with the October calendar and the bat.
My blog seems to be suffering at the moment but I have been making stuff although I can't show you yet. Come Monday all will hopefully be revealed.
Thanks for visiting and for all your lovely comments!. Can't believe we only have two more months to go!!
I just love Halloween, I think it may be my favourite time of year so this is right up my street - love this calendar page, those pumpkins are wonderful! Hugs, Anne xx
