It's day 16 of the Smeared and Smudged 31 Days of Halloween blog Hop. Please visit the Smeared and Smudged blog for the daily clues and all the rules to qualify for prizes and to find out about the daily winners. Can you believe that we just past the halfway point? This month is flying by. I want to send a big thank you out to all the hoppers that have stopped by. You all make this even more fun than it already is. Thanks for taking the time to visit and comment :)
For my project today I working in my mini-journal. I started by gesso-ing the pages and since I'm not very patient I went ahead and sprayed my glimmer mist while it was still wet. It looked awesome after spraying Jack Frost and Cornflower Daze and I was so happy, then I added black and it sprayed out in one big clump :( So I ending up taking a paper towel to dab most of the black away and since the gesso was still wet it all blended together. It's not the first time I've done this so you'd think I'd learn, but oh well I still like how it came out looking like night sky, which is what I was going for in the first place.
My images are all from MFT. Very little coloring needed. Then I realized I forgot to add a moon so I cut a small circle and added some gesso on it for my moon texture and glued that to the page.
Next stop of the hop is Sandy. If you get lost along the way the complete list of Wicked Bloggers can be found to the left in the side bar.
