It's An Adams Kind Of Day

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I have an art journal page I made, or at least my take on one, for the Gecko Galz Monthly Goth challenge and a few others too.   When I saw the image we were to use for the challenge, it reminded me of Wednesday Adams from the Adams family.  Now I've got the theme song going through my head.  LOL  

I started out by printing the image on Neenah white cardstock making sure to run a black prismacolor marker along the edges before layering and adding some pewter skull brads I found in my stash.  I then distressed the edges a bit using a distresser tool before setting it aside.  Taking a slate colored piece of card stock, I stamped two spiderwebs in memento tuxedo black ink from a long retired Stampin Up set called Web Wishes in the corners before taking a memento london fog cat eye ink pad and repeatedly stamped it around half of the page.  Taking a Tim Holtz Dots stencil, I stippled Altenew lava rock and moon rock inks over half of the page before taking the cat eye inks and "drawing" lines with the edges before adding my layered image using glue dots.  I then added the spooky using some letter tiles I received in a destash box from a friend.  I then stamped the "kooky" using a long retired My Favorite Things Alphadots set on scrap copic white card stock before punching the letters out using a 1/2 inch Marvy circle punch.  I then punched out two more layers from more scrap grey card stock using Marvy 1" and 1 1/2" circle punches before layering everything.  Once that was finished, I added the "kooky" letters using glue dots then highlighted the letters using a white 3D glaze pen.  Dusting off my prima flowers, I selected black and purple flowers to add using glue dots before adding black bling to the centers.  I then pulled out the bat and spider brads from the same pack I found the skull ones in and added them to my page.  The final touches were two punched bats that I "softened up" using a soft Staples© mouse pad and an dry embossing stylus, added them using micro glue dots and then added some purple bling to the "bodies".  Then I adhered my finished page to my art journal book using 1/2 inch Scor-Tape.
