Spooky Tree


Some quick directions for the tree -
The tree was an unfinished wood tree that I bought at Michael's last year. I removed the tree from the base and painted both pieces brown. Then I traced the tree onto a lightly patterned piece of Basic Grey. I cut it out, then sanded the edges. Then I inked the tree around the edges to give it some shadows. I added some "grass" to the base with a stipple brush and some green paint. The leaves were made with a punch and some left over pieces of pattern paper. The spiders are actually confetti spiders. The pumpkin was given to me by a good friend and I believe came from a pack of Making Memories sheer embelishments. OK I think that's it. Have fun! :) :) :) :)
