The Paper Shelter (TPS) Challenge #87 - Halloween

This is my 1st time doing a halloween card. People here don't really celebrate Halloween. I'm honestly clueless about what I'm going to do so I decided to just focus on the colouring of the images this week. I combined 2 images this week. They are "Was Not Me!" & "Miss Halloween". I used Photoshop program to flip the "Miss Halloween" image so that she looks like she's sweeping up the mess the naughty little kitty cat did & erased the inappropriate areas where the 2 images meet. E.g. her shoe & the pot.

I challenged myself by colouring them in a dark hues which typically is not my style. Took me a much longer time to finish them as I kept going back & forth about my choice of colours :P 

Miss Halloween

With the Copic Multiliner 0.1 & 0.3, I drew fishnet stocking for "Miss Halloween" to give her a sexier look.

The spiderweb & spiders

I wanted to draw cute, fluffy spiders & I did it with 2 shades of grey, W7 & W9. & added white dots with a white gel pen for their eyes & used Copic Multiliner 0.1 to give them their eyes & legs. Added glossy accent to give it a "Googly eye" effect. As for the spiderweb, I just drew it with Copic Multiliner 0.1.

The little kitty cat

I gave the cat a stripes of a different colour to give it some character.

The spilled mixture & Pot

Coloured all the brass items with a hint of BG72 to give it an aged look. Mimicking patina on metal.

I wanted the spilled mixture to look yucky so coloured it in a dark turquoise colour & added a little pink, yellow & a fluorescent yellow, FYG1 to give it highlight. Covered it with glossy accent. It makes u wonder, what on earth was in that concoction... heehee  

The background

The background is really interesting because I wanted it to look dreamy & slightly mysterious so I coloured the background with BG70 on the top & BV31 on the bottom of the card. Then, I used my colourless blender refill "O" & deliberately drip various droplet sizes on my coloured background. I had to be very careful not to drip too near to my images as it will react with the colours. I had a tissue next to me just in case it happened. :P On the whole, I liked the way it turned out. :D
