You've been seeing a few new Fall & Holiday stamps from Karen Lockhart and today I'd like to show you one of my favorites from this latest release, another in her series of "In The Window" stamps -- Halloween!
I thought this image would be cute as a home decor sign or door hanger, so I picked up an inexpensive metal sign on sale at the craft store to alter. Alternately, you could always recycle something you already have or die cut Craft-A-Board into any shape you'd like and use that as your base. Above is how mine started out!
And here's my altered decor:
I started by adhering some of Basic Grey's new Eerie 6-inch patterned paper to the metal sign, using decoupage glue. After adhering the paper to the sign, I also gave it a top coat of decoupage glue, to protect the paper.
I stamped the image and colored it with these Copic markers and Spica Glitter Pens in silver (spiders & web) pitch black (banners), and chocolate (pumpkin trendils):
After coloring and cutting out the stamped image, I layered it onto more of the Eerie patterned paper die cut with Spellbinders Labels Two and adhered everything to the sign with more decoupage glue.
Using Red Liner tape, I adhered the pom-pom trim. Then to finish, I wrapped silver tinsel pipe cleaners around the wire hanger, to give a bit of a festive feel. Happy Fall!
