Variations Week: Aletha’s View

Happy Halloween to everyone! Aletha here with my view of one of Teresa Sherman’s fun Halloweenie images. The one I picked is Halloweenie Vamp. You can find her in digital format or as a rubber stamp, Plate 230, in the Sweet Pea Stamp store. Lynette is loading a lot of new digital/rubber stamps, and she has a new artist in the mix. I hope you stop by the store.



My Halloweenie Vamp was a lot of fun to color (adding the blood was the most fun)! I colored with Copics, and added glitter pens to the border for accents.



I kept my layout clean and simple. These Halloweenies really need to be the center of attention. My background paper is a background that I made several weeks ago playing around with Lindy’s Stamp Gang sprays and Distress Paints. I am so glad I did not toss it. The colors were perfect. Added some die cut corners for the finishing touch.



We have a challenge for you at One Sweet Challenge. The theme is “things that go bump in the night.” Perfect theme for this month. If you use a Sweet Pea image for you entry, please stop by and share your little piece of art with us in our Sweet Peas Stamps Facebook group. Once you have done that, head over to our Sweet Pea Stamps page for all the happenings.

Thanks for stopping by. I will see you again next week.

  3. Aletha, the colours you have used are really dramatic and really work. That background was saved for a reason because as you say it works so well with the image. Perfect. Best wishes, Kym xxx
