Hello everyone! It's been a busy few weeks around here. I have been involved in some projects around the house instead of working on little houses. :) But today I am sharing this Halloween house now that it is all finished. This is another pattern by Howard Lamey. He is so generous in sharing patterns and techniques. I was also inspired by the amazing Halloween houses by my friend and fellow blogger Lucy at With Glue and Glitter. I enjoyed creating this house - quite a departure from the Christmas themed houses I usually make. This house has no glitter on it, just different paint effects - with the exception of the tiny Jack-o-lantern beside the door. Got to have a little glitter!
I enjoyed distressing the fence. I started with a store bought fence, took it apart, added some texture and then painted it with a little black and brown acrylic.
I added some "moss" from the floral department at the craft store to the roof and the yard.
I created the sconces on either side of the door from cardboard. In this view you can see that they are dimensional. I also added some texture to the purple paint for the door frame.
I used an orange velum for the door and window. I like the way it glows when the house is lit up.
Overall this his turned out to be quite a fun project!
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you found time to be creative this week. :)

I was just looking through some of my favorite blogs and came upon this house again. I love the orange witch's lair. I need to remember to put some moss on my roofs because it is such a great touch. And thank you for the mention and the link in your blog. That was very kind. I hope you are having a lovely late summer. It has actually been nice around here. Dry, but a little bit cool.
