The Crafters Workshop makes it happen!

Play with textures? The Crafters Workshop stencils are one of the best ways to do so!

Our Halloween Children collage allows these kids to walk in the spooky woods!
Will they get treats or be tricked? 

As a kid were there spooky woods near your house?  There was near mine, in the daylight we would play and have a great time, but at night, well, that was a different story.   To walk home alone from a friends house could be a frightening time.  Noises and shapes in the shadows made it a quick trip for sure!

 I coated my substrate with Gesso


Aspen Trees stencil by Victoria Case  makes for a splendid background.  In the finished piece I did a background of Orange Slice heavy body acrylic with the overlay of Kale Smoothie. (green+orange=brown).
The torn corrugated was randomly coated with TCW Kale Smoothie acrylic and another random application of Quinactridone interference.  (see the glow from the quinactridone)
I fancy cut the Halloween Children printable (collage number 3095) images and applied them with PPA glue, fast drying and a firm hold!  I also colorized the boy's socks, hat and face with my fingers and watery paints.


Supplies used;
Crafters Workshop Aspen Trees
Gesso
Printable Collage #3095 Halloween Children
Chip Brush
PPA Glue
Palette Knives
TCW Heavy Body Acrylic Paints

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
