I must give credit to Kristen Swain for the inspiration here for my
Wraith Wreath
The actual cost of this decoration is negligible, I was surprised in a way. A cereal packet destined for the bin, an old book that has been sitting in the attic for years and well out of favour, some paint and hot glue are all that is needed for the base. What you add to it is up to you.
I used Decoart paints in black and Quinacridone Gold mixed with a touch of copper metallics. Both paints watered well down to form a wash. Dipping my book page cones in randomly and setting aside to dry before attaching to my circle base with hot glue.
There are two layers of grey sheer fabric added that were singed on the edges with a flame.
The circle of DP is from the Carta Bella "Happy Haunting" paper stack.
Onto this was added my Headless Hessian.
I'd like to enter my Wraith Wreath into the challenge at

Coloured in all the shades of grey I own which is quite a few hahaha.
Torn out and ink distressed with rusty hinge DI before attaching this to the wreath.
Final touch is adding a means of hanging between yet this and another circle of cereal carton on the back to neaten.
Simple but effective?
Thank you for looking and see you tomorrow
