I love this time of year!  I know for a lot of people Halloween means decorating their home inside and out, but for me it is a great time to make spooky art.  DIY Design Studio has several fun Halloween collages for your art projects. Both of my cards started out with plain card stock and a piece of punchinella.  Green ink with green paper and white ink with black paper...just to give the blank space a little texture. I used a strip of washi tape for a background element but a strip of scrapbook paper or a piece of ribbon would also be great.  I just wanted something fun behind the main collage image. I added a few highlights to the Halloween damsel with a white gel pen.  There is shading on the pumpkin eyes and noses.  And tracing around the skull and crossbones on her cloak and the grid on her dress really make them stand out.   A few Dew Drops make a nice dimensional highlight.   For the card below, I used the washi tape again and also added

IT'S FRIGHTENING! Hi everyone Danie here, today I pulled out my journal to play once more.  I love getting messy and it's the process more than the end result that I love.  So with Halloween in mind once more I started thinking dark and covered my journal pages with a layer of black paint. I had some clean up sheets from the last time I used some stencils on my desk so decided to put these to good use and while my black paint was still wet, tore these stenciled sheets into strips and stuck them down.  My glue and my paint mixed together and glazed these pieces as I smoothed out any air bubbles from the sticking down process. Next I took some white paint and a stencil and added some more detail, before brayering over the wet white paint to added further interest and pattern to the background. I choose to randomly brayer purple and orange paint across the page for my next layer. And to finish the background some more stenciling with Green Paint

    Simple yet extremely Artful cards. Bold and colorful cardstock adds to the beauty of the compositions.  Layers and stamped images take us on a journey in our mind. Please see our rubber stamp HERE . Ascemic writing is not new... Asemic writing  is a wordless open semantic form of  writing . The word  asemic  means "having no specific semantic content", or "without the smallest unit of meaning". With the non-specificity of  asemic writing  there comes a vacuum of meaning, which is left for the reader to  fill in and interpret.   The following is an example of Emily Dickinson Asemic writing. ********************** Textured cardstock adds interest to the cards.  Reusing the stamp with existing ink allows for varied colors and transparency.
