Knowing that I will start decorating for Halloween next week I decided to have a bit of ‘wicked fun’!
If you ask me, creating Halloween decorations is just that!
It all started with a B.I.N.G.O. card. . .It was blue, but I took it to a copy center and had a few made in b&w.
I cut rectangles out of old book pages and backed them with black cardstock. The words were added by using a stencil, black ink pad and a stencil brush.
I have a lot of Halloween banners so I went with the words WICKED. Notice the clock? It signifies the ‘witching hour’.
When the crow caws. . .
You know that Halloween is near.
EEK! Spiders and bats, oh my!
I thought it might be fun to decorate my basement family room in b&w for Halloween this year. I have had this pumpkin for years. Decided to give it a new look.
I tore small squares from the book and simply Mod Podged them onto the pumpkin.
A little ribbon, tuelle, a crochet flower, and scrapbook doo dads. . .Voila!
Oh, and don’t forget the crow on top! I made her a party hat.
I think she likes it. If you look close, I swear she is smiling.
I haven’t started decorating yet, but I had to drape it to see how she looked. Well, I think it’s ‘Wicked’ cute, How about you?
hugs,
Jann
