Here's how I made this fun Halloween Wall Art named the Grumpy Back Seat Driver of the Halloween Hearse for the grumpy-looking buzzard in the back of the hearse.
Inspiration for the Grumpy Back Seat Driver Wall Art
I got this idea to use the Tim Holtz "Home for the Holidays" car from Andrea Ockey Parr. She's one of the design team members for Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge. She made a flying car with 2 of the trick or treaters from the new Sizzix "Trick or Treat" thinlits. I imagined it would be cool to have the car converted to a hearse by adding more windows in the back and to have a witch driving. The only problem is that all the witch stamps I have face to the left and the car faces to the right. Well, it was pretty easy to turn the car around as opposed to mirror stamping which is a technique I've never done.

Elements for the Halloween Scene
The witch has to be flying over a city. I used various Cityscape buildings (leftovers from previous projects) with yellow glued to the windows. They were distressed with the same color Distress Oxides I used on the background - Black Soot, Iced Spruce, and Wilted Violet.
For the background piece below the frame I sprayed a piece of watercolor paper with Wilted Violet Distress stain and then inked over it with Distress Oxide Black Soot using the Stampers Anonymous "Batground" stencil.

Be sure to pin to your favorite Halloween Pinterest Board so you can remember where you found this Halloween project.
Thank you - to all you artists out there who continue to inspire me.
I am going to be sharing this project with Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge "Not a Card". I neglected to mention that it is adhered to several thick layers of cardboard with a hole placed so you can hang it on the wall - it is not a card. Also I will share it with #holtzforhalloween and #timholtzhalloween2017 on Instagram and Facebook.

So cool! I am not into Halloween that much. But I do enjoy your talent and creative work on your projects. I learn so much from your pictures. I love art, paper, and all you do with it.

Love this Lucy! the way you gave it a glow to resemble night is fab! Also love the outside the box creativity with this, TFS!

Dots,
I'm not really that into Halloween either, but I found that my style of crafting is well-suited to Halloween stuff - mainly that it can be kind of off-kilter and glue smudges don't matter too much, etc. You may notice that I don't do gory or bloody, maybe a little creepy, but that's about as far as I go.
Lucy
Thank you, Cathie. I love the Simon Says Stamp challenges. I do stretch my wings a bit when I do these challenges. I just want you to know that I do appreciate Simon Says Stamp hosting them.

Thank you for the compliment on the night sky. It is one of my first attempts at making a night sky with a moon. I really think the Distress Oxides make it pretty easy.

I'm sure you were right with the choice of background for this fabulous card - a glorious night sky - but I have to say I think all the backgrounds are scrumptious. I'm sure they'll come in handy very soon. Love that cityscape too - such lovely colours.

Ok, so somehow I missed this! I'm so happy you put a link to it in your Witch Goes Back to School post, so I could visit. This is another fabulous piece of artwork with another great spooky background. That city is so inspiring! I have this die, and it's never been used. But neither has my Raven die set you used on the school bus piece. You have me itching to use them! What a creative soul you are! Sending hugs!
