Welcome to the September Creative Craft Blog Hop
hosted by Sara from Birdz of a Feather
A little Halloween fun today with a Spooky vignette
featuring a Haunted Mansion
It started with cardboard house I found at the craft store [Hobby Lobby]
I decided to turn it into a slightly spooky haunted house
It’s made out of thick, stiff cardboard
I lightly dry brushed some Graphite Gray paint on it,
being careful not to get any area “wet,”
which might cause the material to get soft or wrinkled
I used black and gray on the roof
and a little orange brushed with a black overlay on the chimney
I wanted the house to look old, neglected and weathered
I made a bunting and some signs on the computer using PicMonkey
Print out the signs on card stock, and cut them up
I colored a strip of white paper with brown marker
and glued it to a popsicle stick to make the sign post
Popsicle sticks make a great reinforcement for the card stock signs
Bright yellow squares of paper are taped inside the upper windows
to look like lamp light and Halloween picks of ghosts,
pumpkins and candy corn are peeking out the windows
Pumpkin and Frankenstein pails are ready for Trick or Treating
This is the intersection of Spooky St and Boo Blvd~
that poor fellow on the porch has been waiting forever
to see the witch!
The witch is home by the way, you can tell by her hat on the roof
If you should be in the neighborhood,
or passing by on Haunted Hwy,
beware of spiders, ghosts and goblins….
Enter at your own risk!
Halloween is just around the corner
So make some Halloween decorations and have some crafty fun!
