Spooky Papers For A Spooky Photo

Hi scrappers! It has finally started to cool down where I live so it’s beginning to feel like fall! I’m actually drinking an autumnal coffee drink as we speak!

The photo I used was taken a few years back at Knott’s Scary Farm (Knott’s Berry Farm’s Halloween event.) They do a great job creating ambiance with strategically placed fog machines and mood lighting and my husband snapped a photo of me that turned out super spooky!

Almost all the photos used are from DCWV’s Dark Romance stack. This is a collection of papers that I never know what to do with since they are so stylized but I ended up using it exclusively here, including the title! I added some ephemera from the Tim Holtz Field Notes pack and then used some recently purchased Distress Mica Stain spray in the color Hocus Pocus. Beware, this spray took forever to dry and even when I let it sit overnight, I still had to blot it lithesome paper towels because there were some spots that refused to dry. I think it’s because the finish on these papers is more glossy and wasn’t absorbing the spray at all. However, the end result was pretty metallic shimmer in my favorite shade of purple!

I had just bought some wax seal stickers that worked well here as well as some holographic clock faces (they are actually gray but when photographed, were reflecting crazy rainbow colors.) Some Halloween brads by My Mind’s Eye added the final spooky touch.

I used sketch 393 from A Cherry on Top’s weekly sketch challenge. Instead of two little photos, I just made one big cluster and shifted my title to the left since it was so long.

That’s all for this week! Join me soon as I cook up more fall-inspired scrapbook pages!
