Fall into Fall: Jill

We don't know about you, but here in the Studio we're ready to push aside the blazing sun and leap, or perhaps just gently fall, into the beautiful colors of Autumn and the happy treats of Halloween.  We hope you will join us as we do just that over the next few weeks.
I had such fun creating this spooky scene using Penny Black Creative Dies.
All of my die cut pieces were painted with Distress Ink Reinkers used as watercolors and then, once dry, Distress Ink was added using an ink blending tool and foam pads to give the pieces extra dimension.  The hand trimmed hills and the moon were cut from white paper and inked with ink blending tools and foam pads.  The sky was first painted with Distress Ink Reinkers used as watercolors. Once dry I added a heavy layer of inks on top using an ink blending tool and a foam pads.  I wanted a smooth look and this helped even out the brushstrokes left from my painting.
