Hi everyone, It's November and I have gone along with Aunty Vera's theme of Australiana this month in my Gorjuss Mini Art Journal spread. The stamp I chose this month is No.2 - New Heights and I've paired it up with Lawn Fawn's Critters Down Under stamp for a Sheila in Aus episode (LOL- you will get it when you watch the video). I cant believe it's November already!!  Only one more empty page in this journal and she is complete! What an accomplishment :) To see how I made the background and coloured in the characters, please check out my YT video (link below).

The stamp I chose this month is No.49 - Piracy and I teamed her up with Stamp No.50 Jar of Hearts  and Stamp No. 3 The Pretend Friend. Yes! 3 stamps this month!! The background technique this month is a technique called Paint Resist. I used both the following stencils, one with black acrylic paint and one with white. To achieve this look. I then reached for this Thinlets Die by Sizzix called Trick or treat,  and in combination with a few pieces of ephemera from an older Tim Holtz Halloween kit, I was able to achieve a ver y spooky Trick or Treat scene that reminded me of that 1984 Stephen King horror movie - Children of the Corn. Here is the final layout. You can catch the process video HERE Thank you for stopping by today and happy halloween cra...
