Happy Halloween - A Mixed Media MemoryDex Page

It's Tuesday so it's time to share a project created for Topflight Stamps. This week the team is focusing on Mixed Media. Since I'm still (always) in Halloween mode, I've made another page for my MemoryDex album using the Spring Sprouts Die Set 49 by AALL and Create, Dee of Darkness Clear Stamp Set 1198 by Janet Klein, Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paints by PaperArtsy, and the Hot Picks Mini Stencil PM016 by PaperArtsy.

Here's the page!

Here's a close-up!

16. Use a palette knife to add a tiny bit of texture to the stones on the arch. Let the modeling paste air dry, then heat set.
