Halloween shenanigans

 

 A few blog posts ago I mentioned this months challenge over at Pixels and Paper (image top left) and how inspiring I found it! My first layout for the challenge was about shoes, but I really wanted to make something with that gorgeous old styled colour theme! So I went through my 'scraps' bag and pulled out everything in shades of brown and red to work with. I actually made this one with my good friend, and we shared papers and stamps - so her similar entry should be popping up soon!I used a photo of my daughter and her friends dressing up for Halloween to fit the clothing theme in the image. Of course my daughter is the 'pretty' witch in the middle. After painting her friends faces she decided that she was too cute to end up with scary makeup, so she had only extra eyelashes painted on - what a princess!!

I decided to follow the sketch over at Cest magnifique, (top right) it was just perfect! The kit this month is to die for - wishing I lived in America!!! I moved the layering to the right a little so you could still see the inking underneath.

This months challenge at Red carpet studios is from the film 'Public enemies' and the requirement is 'The good old days - use a distress technique'. Of course as my layout was inspired by the vintage theme from pixels and paper, good old days fit perfectly and I distressed the edges of each paper with scissors. I also used picassa to make the photo colours more vintage to fit.

This layout is entered into the following challenges:
