Mixed Media Halloween Card

My card today is for this week's TicTacToe Challenge. I'm not certain I love this card - it certainly is a departure for me - but it fits the criteria of the challenge.  And I wanted to do something different and try out a few new "toys."

I used the middle column: Mixed Media, Splatter, Orange

I just bought some Tim Holtz Resist Spray.  It's a super cool spray that goes on white and dries clear (I guess it's clear - I sprayed it on white so I really couldn't tell - LOL!)  Then I created a wash using Smoky Slate and Basic Gray ink. The splatters resist your wash.

My second media is a Metallic Silver Distress Crayon which I smeared in various places and then used some water to move around.  You can see the metallic in this photo.

I added some orange splatters, washi tape and a few stamps.

This was one of those cards where I sat down and played with materials to see what popped up.  I had a vague plan to use the gears and the postage stamp as I thought they would contribute to a "steampunk" Halloween card.  I'm not sure that happened, but I kind of like the result.

If nothing else, I enjoyed trying out the new materials and will have a better idea how to use them in the future!
