More Halloween with Moonlight

I am really lovng the Moonlight Paper Pack from CTMH for Halloween laouts etc this year. I am trying to have a couple of layouts ready to just add pictures when the Halloween celebration comes around next month. I posted one a few days ago and Ihave another today for you.

This one uses a couple of techniques. One is a stamping technique called "Swiping". I used that on the "BOO" title and on the "Beware" sign. Take your stamp and ink it up normally but then before you stamp take it and swipe it across the ink pad from left to right. Now stamp your image. You get a really different look to your image. I have a close up picture for you here.

The next technique I used was with the spray pen. I mixed rubbing alcohol and colonial white re-inker together in my spray pen. Then I sprayed intermittently over the Black CS base pages. My goal was to give it a "smokey" "eerie" look. What do you think? I also used the edge distress tool to rough up the base page edges and title edges. Here is a close-up of the spray pen look.
Lastly I did some stamping, added some blingwith black & grey sparkles and some brads from the Haunted Assortment collection. Popped up the photo mats and title and journaling blocks for a little dimension. All products from CTMH. Here is the complete layout.
This layout holds two 4 x 6 photos on each page. One goes on the smokey plum photo mat and the other goes in the black space.

Thanks for stopping by. See you next time.
