Hocus Pocus with Kira

Hey there!  It's Kira and I am back with another 8.5x11 layout.  I am working through my Halloween photos from 2018, and am happy to finally be getting these awesome memories onto layouts!  Here's a look at my layout today:

I used the Hocus Pocus cut file from The Cut Shoppe. 

I started by cutting the cut file out on white cardstock.  I backed the letters with an orange Halloween paper from Crate Paper.  I wanted to really make my cut file pop off the page, so I chose back cardstock as my background. 

I added some white, orange and teal splatters to my background using gesso (white) and two Shimmerz Paints sprays.  I tried to keep the splatters in a heart shape so they were mostly behind my cut file. 

I adhered my photo on top of the Hocus Pocus title, not worrying too much that it was partially covered. 

Then it was just a matter of embellishing!  I used die cuts, tags and puffy stickers from the CP Hello, Pumpkin collection. 

Thanks for stopping by!
