Something Wicked

It's time for a new challenge at Try it on Tuesday and this fortnight, yes you've guessed now  it's the time of year for Trick or Treat/Halloween.

I've used Distress inks for the background black and black Distress crayon.  I added white gesso to age the black die cut haunted house and used inks and  distress markers to colour the lights in the windows.
The skull is from a Stamp Addicts set and I've added red glitter to the eye sockets and for the 'blood' dripping from his teeth.  It's a computer generated sentiment.

The Design Team have some Spooktacular inspiration for you, so please pop over to be scared.

I am entering this at:
  That's Crafty - Spookalicious
  Paperbabe - Anything Goes


Thanks for calling in,
Avril xx

Oh Avril, this looks a fantastic haunting and spooky card. A super addition of the red to the eyes and the drips of blood, would scare me any time.
