Hello everyone,
I'm hostess this week over at LITTLE RED WAGON and my theme, great for some, not for others, is
" HALLOWEEN IS COMING - MAKE IT SPOOKY OR NOT"
I really enjoy making this type of project, we don't celebrate in New Zealand, in my house or street, but some wander around without any effort being made costume wise, and beg for your stuff..
Die cutting, a very important thing for me, and mushrooms, toadstools and pumpkins are number one..
Can you really have too many mushroom dies...NO!..lol..
Pumpkins were inked up with a very old and still to notch Stampin' up ink..
Pumpkin Pie.
Background was a mess for awhile as I tried to blend and my wrists were not happy, nor my shoulder as I stand all day and craft and should have sat down..
So moved on to my water paints..far quicker.
and just kept adding and drying and was a very pleasant time after all.
Needed black..
added some, was not happy..
added more...better.
Made a moon...
It came out pretty good..
Added tree branch and dark grey clouds..
A spider web hanging from the tree..
Dark green grass and rickety old fence..
The Cauldron and pumpkins along with mushrooms..
some black crows along the bottom, bats and little details that I cant even see any more..
so there you go..
Come on over here and share, cute, scary, frightening, terrifying, funny, fun, anything Halloween..
Thank you so much for stopping by..
Luv CHRISSYxx..

Fabulous spooky-licious Halloween card, think the colours are great and those mushrooms are amazing, { although I do think you have a mushroom fettish } hahaha Sorry couldn't miss that one Chrissy :}} Not many where I live do Halloween anymore, I always had kids parties as its my youngest son's birthday, but he kind of out grew that a long time ago haha as they do. xx
Fabulous spooky scene Chrissy, love the die cuts and your brooding dark sky.
xx
you had fun Chrissy.......... grat and gorgeous work...........gr karin
Fabulous Halloween scene very atmospheric, love all the dies. I don't do Halloween either but used to have bags of sweets ready for the trick or treaters, but no young ones round here anymore so none needed this year.

Love it Chrissy! And I'm so impressed with how you did the moon and background; it truly looks like a night sky.
I love that spooky background with so many details in it. The moon and the bats with the tree branches are wicked. I love your pumpkins next to eh boiling hot cauldron is so Halloween. Glad that you shared it with us at Double D Challenge.
A brilliantly detailed piece of art and very atmospheric. Thanks so much for sharing with us at TIOT!
Yikes! Spooky cute Chrissy.
A FABulous scene.
LOve it.

That is just way too cool, I especially love the way you did the moon with the branch and the bats with it! Great coloring of your pumpkins, I had to laugh about not having to many mushroom dies, I think I am the same way about bird dies :)
Oh wow Chrissy, this is absolutely brilliantly done! What you've done to make that spooky sky is very cool! On top of that is this really fun Autumn scene with the pumpkins, mushrooms and bright moon with the bats! I love this so much! Halloween is such a fun time over our way...the kids can be so cute! LOL
What an absolutely fabulous and spooky Halloween scene. I love all the little details. Thank you for playing along with the LCD/LV 31 Days of Halloween Challenge!
Amazing spooky halloween scene, Chrissy !

Omg, your post made me laugh. "...but some wander around without any effort being made costume wise, and beg for your stuff" - that's hilarious! Does it work though? If it does I might have to try that. (; lol Such a spooky card! Those mushrooms are the perfect touch!
You love the fungi so mush! haha Lovely card and very spooky. Must be a global thing, we have car loads of young adults every Halloween with large grocery bags, they got so bad we quit handing out candy and now we keep the light off like we are not home. Hate that too because Halloween used to be so fun. XOX
Fabulous Halloween card! I loved seeing how it all came together and the detail you created is amazing, those mushrooms are amazing 😊. Thanks so much for joining in the fun at Try it on Tuesday! Hugs, Jo x
You packed that out beautifully and it is full of spookiness!! Love all the elements you have added Chrissy and the background scene is amazing!
This is so good, Chrissy. I love all the details and your background is so good.
Wow, spectacular Halloween card! So many awesome details. I love the toadstools. Thanks for sharing at the Double D, "Pumpkin, Pumpkin" Challenge.
WOWZA! This is amazing! You are so talented!! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Two Old Bats challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.
