HALLOWEEN

Hello everyone!!!! I finally made a project for fun - and I'm going to enter it into some challenges!!! I have made a little card box or gift box with a magnetic clasp. I am going to put some Halloween gifties inside it (rather than give him candy!!!!)

The images I have used are from the Stamp Fairy (Barry Halloween 1 and Halloween Scenes). The sentiment was in my stash (I think someone stamped them for me a few years ago!) I have coloured it all in Copics and added stickles to the witches brew. The images are both popped out, as you can see in the third photo. The CS is Summer Sun (SU) and the DP is from Heidi Grace. The magnetic dot is from Basic Grey.

Here is the front of the box:



And the box opened:


And a side view.




I am entering this box into the following challenges:

ABC Challenge - B for Boo
Cards for Men - Animals
Crafty Boots - Autumn or Halloween
Make it Monday - Anything Goes
All Sorts Challenge - Halloween
The Crafty Pad - Halloween
Creative Stamp Friends - Halloween

There are HUNDREDS of challenge blogs with Halloween themes this week, but I wanted to keep it under 10! Anyway, wish me luck!!!
Hugs,
Chris

Hello everyone! The Stamp Fairy Challenge Blog has a great challenge for you - HALLOWEEN

I will have 3 posts for Mondays, so please be sure to scroll down to see them ALL!!!! THANKS so much!!!!


Here is my card:





This week I have used 4 stamps from the STAMP FAIRY - Barry Halloween sets and I have coloured them all with Copics. I used the png files that you get when you purchase these images, and layered them all to look like a scene! The clouds and moon are from Barry Spooky Bats set. The CS is Basic Black (SU) and the DP is from a polka dot pack from Michael's - I needed it for a specific project and have tons left!!! The bats are popped out from the original bats on the moon with my Martha Stewart bat punch, and I added a few more for effect.
