SIMON SAYS STAMP AND SHOW CHALLENGE - WENDY VECCHI STYLE

I have been gathering Wendy Vecchi stamps and art parts for

a little while now.  I have used her stamps before but this is my first  piece of artwork that incorporates some of her stamps with some of her art parts.

This is my artwork for the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge

Wendy Vecchi Style.

I was sorting through my Wendy Vecchi stash and saw the large circle in my Wendy Vecchi Sample Pack of art parts and I thought it looked like a full moon.   Then from that point on, I knew that I was going to make a Halloween project.

I covered the large circle with yellow construction paper.  Then I thought, that it would be different

to use Wendy's Queen of Art stamp to create "Queen of Halloween". 

I then went on to use Tim Holtz's Rickety House die to create some spooky houses to go in the queen's neighbourhood.  I cut out 3 houses and slightly altered each one by removing either a chimney or a porch.  I used Halloween paper from My Little Yellow Bicycle  (Harlequin), Teresa Collins (Damask) and Making Memories (Toil and Trouble).  I backed the houses with red construction paper to make the windows look like they were glowing.  The silver numbers are also from Tim Holtz. 

Then I made a rickety fence out of black construction paper and used Tim Holtz's long fasteners for the nails in the posts.  For the title plaque I used a rectangle art part from Wendy's art part Sample Pack.  I inked the plaque with Tim Holtz's Rusty Hinge ink and added some more long fasteners as nails.  I used some misc. ribbon and webbing to give the piece some dimension and attached it with staples from Tim Holtz's tiny attacher.  Lastly, I hung the artwork on a 7 Gypsies Hanger and added the word "boo" to it. 

I hope you enjoy this bit of Halloween fun.
