Materials Needed

Step 1: Create the Background

Start by building a colorful, blended background with layers of orange, yellow, purple, red, and black. This creates a moody Halloween night effect.

Step 2: Add the Crow and Hat

Use the crow stencil and layer the witch hat from the “I Put a Spell on You” set. Position the hat above the crow’s head and stencil in black, then fill in the crow underneath.

Step 3: Paint the Branch

Freehand paint a wiggly black branch under the crow’s feet to ground the design. Halloween branches look best when imperfect and uneven.

Step 4: Stencil the Words

Using the “Welcome My Pretties” stencil, add the phrase in black. Layer the spider element for extra Halloween flair.

Step 5: Add Sparkle Accents

Finish by dabbing silver accents and scatter them across the canvas for subtle shimmer. This extra detail makes your Halloween piece pop.
