Lisa's Scary Fun

Hello Funkie Junkie fans, Lisa Hoel here! We're getting into the spooky season and the current theme of "How Scary Is That?"reflects it. I like to create fun whimsical Halloween makes so I got to work using one of the new Square Etcetera Panels as the base.
Detail photos!

Mr. Bones is awesome.

Here are some step photos of how this all came together:

Step 1 – I started with the 8.5" x 8.5" Etcetera panel and covered the front with an inky Distress background on the top and a painty Distress background on the bottom. The bottom section I also stamped with a spiderweb stamp and embossed with black embossing powder. The Glow Grit Paste is super cool and I applied it using the Peek a boo stencil and the smaller version from the Minis Set 56.

Step 2 – I used the Spellbound stencil to add some stars to the sky. Clear embossing ink (Distress Embossing Dabber) embossed with Lost Shadow Distress Glaze added a subtle touch.

Step 3 – The ledge I made from a strip of foam core board bolstered by a set of Bracket Etcetera Trims. The Decorative Trims Die Set makes it really easy to cover all the Etcetera Trim parts with paper. Cut and glue, easy peasy.

Step 4 – The fun part was making all the elements to build on the background. Various Sizzix die sets, new and old, came into play. I also included some of the new Idea-ology headstones from this year's Graveyard set. I added diecut paper elements to them to help them blend into the scene.
