Our Haunted House

It's the weekend, and a long weekend here in Canada too!  So, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  It looks like it is going to be a good one, both weather-wise and family wise.  It appears that on Monday, my daughters and their families are coming over and making the dinner....how cool is that!.  Now, we just need to hope that everyone stays healthy, and that my DH is up to it. (fingers crossed!)


Now, I could say this is my house......it's on a hill, no neighbours, and on summer nights there are bats around, (on occasion, said bats have even got inside which totally freaked me out!)....but no, it's one of the new images from Just Inklined........Haunted House.   Isn't it just perfect for Halloween?  It was a definite must have for me, especially when you consider that we get no visitors at our door on that night....!

So, I really had some fun colouring this one!  I've used Copics, and then chalks for the background.  I've torn, distressed and inked the papers, and then added a couple of sticker elements...backed with cardstock and attached with foam tabs for a bit of dimension.

Now, my house really isn't that scary....we just live too far out in the country.  Don't worry though, the candy doesn't go to waste...
