I found some really cool paper mache house shapes at the craft store and thought they’d be fun to collage on. I made this haunted house yesterday. I’ll probably make some Christmasy ones soon too. For the Haunted House I painted it black, covered the front and back with pages from a very old vintage book. I cut out windows from yellow cardstock and wrapped them with ribbon. I cut out scalloped strips and made gables and window awnings, all popped up for dimension. The front door and house number are painted chipboard. I stamped a raven on the front of the house and a fence on the back. Then finally I turned an old image of a little girl into a witch and added a pumpkin embellishment. I love the way it turned out!

The house is currently for sale on my Etsy shop if anyone is interested in purchasing it.
