Spooky Town

by Julie Warner - The Write Stuff

Happy Friday!

I hope your week has gone well! TGIF, right? Are the kiddos back in school in your area? I remember always having a sort of guilty relief when my daughter went back to school. Right...like you don't know what I'm talking about! She was so hyper and houdini w/ every lock in the house, even when she was 3. Couldn't take my eyes off of her for a sec. School starting was like...whew! I can breathe again! Kindergarten was great. 1st grade was kind of a nightmare. Her teacher was a drill sergeant who wanted little soldiers. That teacher sent so many notes home w/ all the kids, she had a form note...w/ boxes she would check off, like "forgot to raise his hand", "talking during lunch". REALLY? A 6 yr old talking during lunch (call the lunch police!), or forgetting to raise their hand. Most of them hadn't even mastered tying their shoes or remembering that their mom & dad have names other than "mom & dad".

Speaking of nightmares, how about this Spooky Town? Complete w/ Count Porkula & a big crow standing guard duty. All I need are a couple of tombstones on the ground.This card was mostly just a lot of sponging, using a torn edge mask and some grays & purples inks. The town was also stamped w/ gray so it would look more spooky, misty & off in the distance. I added a punched black fence to ground it a bit and used a white gel pen to add the highlights. A couple of yellow Copics were used for the moon & windows.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!
