A Not so Scary Halloween Altered Book Tutorial

I wanted to make a Altered Halloween book for my 3 year old Grandson,
Nothing to scary, more about Trick or Treating.

I started with a hard cover book I found at the $ store.

I covered it with Gesso. 

I loved that it had windows I could use in the planning of the book.

Added white tissue and gel medium to give it lots of texture.

I knew just what stamps I was going to use. 

Oxford Impressions 

Had just released a new Stamp plate Jack-O Lantern

Cute kids and candy ready for Halloween

I stamped up the images on white tissue.

I added some crinkle shred for lots of extra texture.

When it was dry I used Distress inks to add lots of fun colors.

Stamped up the Pumpkins and Boo words and added to the front.

On the second page I added more texture and the stamped images 

making sure the little girl showed through the window.

Some fun Halloween candy ,colorful papers and Dresden trim.

I had some cool spider web paper from my stash I used as the background.

The Haunted Mansion Chandelier came from Retro Cafe Art

Added the stamped images.

The next page brings a colorful scene for a Harvest Ball.

Also used images from the Stamp plate

 Danse Macabre-Skeleton Ball

The final page done in dark of night. Perfect for Trick or Treating.

I stamped several of the images in white to show up

against the dark background.

The cat cut out is also from Reto Cafe Art..

I plan on illustrating a story to go along with the pages.

A Special treat for Halloween.
