Spool Plinth Halloween Bottles

Hello,  

Mandy here sharing a Halloween themed project for August.

I created this project by altering a large wooden spool, altered with Lindys Stamp Gang Embossing Powder in "midnight copper", black lace by Papermania, sprayed white lace with "squeezed orange" by Dylusions.

The box part was created with thick cardboard/chipboard, I made a box that measures 4.5" x 2" x 3".

I painted both sides before I glued it together while flat with black craft paint.  I used Graphic 45's "An Eerie Tale" to cover both sides.  I created a scallop edge for the bottom with some purple paper from this collection too and a top pelmet with covered chipboard using  the "ornate" large die by Tim Holtz.

The top was covered with Prima flowers, a clock paperclip also by Prima and a skull.  The inside was done by filling a large glass bottle with a broken up skeleton and by colouring some Glossy Accents with "fired brick" Distress Ink reinker.  This was dripped over the bottle for a bloody effect.  I also filled a small bottle with the reinker.  I layered over paper labels using the embossing powder and tags from the paper collection.  Some black lace was used along with black gems to embellish.

I hope you liked this project and it inspires you to start your Halloween preparations.  Thank you for looking.  I have included a video on the kit I played with for this project so you can see the product that is available in the Cardz'n'Scrapz shop in more detail.

Mixed Media wooden chest by Marta

Hello my crafty friends :)

It's Marta here with my special June project.
I wish to share with you off page creation - an altered wooden chest.
My box came to me as a part of my design team pack for this month. It was quite challenging as I usually work on flat surfaces like canvas or papers. I have to say I enjoyed this journey and I am very happy to share with you my finished box.
Here it is :)

As you can see on the top part of the box there are some Prima Trim White Petal Flower lace.
I also added lots of paper flowers from my stash.

The shiny dots are made with liquid perals (Platinum Pearl) from Ranger. It's a great addition to all projects.
I use liquid pearls for my cards, journal pages etc.

Sides of the chest are covered with some lace and stencil.
The whole box is sprayed with mists from Lindy's Stamp Gang. I used 3 colour mix - 'Golden Sleigh Bells', 'Tilt-a-Wheel Teal' and 'Merry-go-Round Green'.

I hope you have enjoyed my special project for June. If you didn't see my other June works please click here in the links to see my art journal page and classic cards.

Hugs, Marta xx
