Cricut ArtBooking

Hi everyone.
Boy oh boy does time fly when you are having fun. Since the launch of the new Idea Book, I have been busy with the family. We celebrated 5 Birthdays and one Anniversary. One of those Birthdays was mine. I have to say I have the BEST Sisters in the World!!! They took me on my first Cruise!!! Yes, I did get a little motion sickness towards the end but it was so worth it! More about it later.

Today I want to share with you a Layout that I created using the New Cricut Artbooking Cartridge from Close To My Heart. Everything was cut using this AMAZING Cartridge (along with CTMH inks, paints, embossing powders ect.....)
I chose to do a layout that was Halloween related.
 
The background was created using Twilight, Outdoor Denim and black inks along with White Daisy to create the "clouds" that you see behind the spider web.

All embellishments were cut with the Artbooking Cart. The Spider web was cut out of White daisy cardstock and then inked with Grey Wool and Whisper ink pads. Then I sprayed the web with a mixture of pearl paint, water and alcohol (spray mist) to give it a little shimmer. (Have you ever really seen a black spider web before.... I haven't ;-) ) After that dried I dabbed the web with a little black ink (yes I used some black...;-)  ) then I went over it again with Whisper pigment ink and mixed Clear Detail Embossing powder and Prisma Glitter. Hope you can see the shimmer in the photo below.

 
Here is a look at the haunted house before I attached it to the Layout.
 
Can you believe that these cute little ghosts are made from Hearts?
