Crafty Secrets DT challenge Sept - Halloween

Good morning! It's time again for another fantastic Crafty Secrets monthly challenge. For September our challenge was to create something for Halloween using some of the newer products from Crafty Secrets.I created a wall hanging using the Costume Cuties stamp set and Halloween Greetings Creative Scraps from Crafty Secrets.I started with a raw piece of wood. I found these at Joann Fabric for under a $1 and my husband drilled a couple of holes so I could create a wall hanging. I misted the piece of wood with several colors of Glimmer Mist--Twilight, Artic Blue, Haunted Shadow, Raven, Black Gold from Tattered Angels. I let the Glimmer Mist sit on the wood for a couple of minutes and then I took a paper towel and blotted off the excess. I used a heat tool to heat set and speed up the drying time. Next I used acrylic paint and a sponge brush to add black paint to the stamps and then I stamped directly on to the wood. If you use paints with your stamps be sure to wash them off right away so the paint doesn't dry in all the little spaces. I have found using a tooth brush is great for cleaning and getting into all of the tiny spaces on stamp images.Let the paint dry--this should only take a few minutes.Next I added a little color to the dancing couple using Smooch by Clearsnap.I created a perfectly matching ruffle using crepe paper and glimmer mist. I used the same colors as mentioned above to color the white crepe paper. Then I used Crafty Power Tape from SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES By 3L™ to adhere the crepe paper.Here is the front of the wall hanging once I had the ruffle done. To add the sentiment I used a stamp from the Costume Cuties stamp set with gold ink and gold embossing powder. Then I used S4-301 Labels Sixteen die #3 die template to create the label diecut and added Glimmer Mist and Smooch.I used black 3D Foam Squares from SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES By 3L™ to add a little dimension to the wall hanging. The wood block "Beware" is from the Halloween Greetings Creative Scraps from Crafty Secrets. I used S4-277 Nested Bats 3 smallest bats to create the bat diecuts.To create the moon I used a stamp from the Costume Cuties stamp set and the S4-116 Standard Circles Small die #3. Then I added Candlelight Glimmer Mist and Stickles.Here's a few close-up pictures.
