Halloween at the Imperial Castle by Jean Okimoto

Celebrate a royal Halloween at the Imperial Castle with ghosts and a bat borrowed from the Haunted Entrance Dome Layer set. The spooked scene is diecut from a dark floral 6x6 from the Garland collection.

Hi, Jean Okimoto here with mix of old and new for fall. Cut the Garland 6x6 floral print with the second-largest Nested Globes die. Cut it with the Imperial Castle Collage.

Attach pieces of lined ¼" doublestick tape behind the windows - Brush ultrafine gold glitter onto the tape through the window cutouts. The glitter adds a warm glow behind the windows - like a vintage incandescent 60-watt bulb. Things I grew up with are now vintage artifacts!

Attach the diecut to a Persimmon Notecard - don't use any adhesive behind the posts section on the tallest tower.

Cut the ghosts - from the Haunted Entrance Dome Layer set - from heavy white cardstock, and again from black cardstock. Attach the black diecuts behind the white pieces, slightly offset for dimension. Attach the ghosts to the card.

Cut yellow glittered cardstock from the Frosted Glitter Pad with the ½" Circle Basics die. Cut the bat - from the Haunted Entrance Dome Layer set - from the Frosted black glittered 6x6. Punch ¼" circles of the black glittered cardstock.

The Memory Box collage dies offer a lot of design options and are great with the 6x6 prints too. Use them as collaging layers - or use the designs as freestanding diecuts. Many of the larger offcut pieces are great for reverse-images too.

Thanks for visiting...see you again this weekend!
