The Paper Shelter Challenge – From Hippie Chic to Wednesday Addams!

 Good morning all!

Today we have a new challenge at THE PAPER SHELTER and as always it is

ANYTHING GOES with an optional twist which this time is ‘Take a Non-Halloween Image and Make it Spooky’ Oh boy did I enjoy myself with this one.

 

The non-Halloween image I chose to use is HIPPIE CHIC who I thought I had a reasonable chance of turning into Wednesday Addams.

Pencils worked best for the colouring as they are more opaque than Copics so I could disguise certain areas and add bits here and there. ‘Thing’ was created using the hand from this TPS image HERE 

 

Ingredients:

Digi Stamp: HIPPIE CHIC

Colouring: Pencils - Faber Castell Polychromos 

Paper & Fussy Cut Skeleton: POLKADOODLES BONESHAKIN’ HALLOWEEN PACK  

Sentiment: POLKADOODLES WINNIE WEDNESDAY CLEAR STAMPS

Dies: Spellbinders Nesting Labels – Tattered Lace ‘Graveyard’ – Concord & 9^th ‘Rain or Shine’ Umbrella - Cobweb

The Rest: Confetti Bat – Purple Vellum – White Embossing Powder

 

So please join us as it is always ANYTHING GOES with an optional twist and just look at what you could win….

 

Thanks so much for visiting and taking the time to comment; I appreciate it more than you know. Have a great day all!
