Rare Oddities Mini House Shadowbox by Mary

Hello! I have a Halloween themed shadowbox for you today featuring Graphic 45's Rare Oddities 6x6 paper stack! Yes, it is the last day of May and no, I have no idea why I felt the need to do something Halloween based!

 I started by covering the Mini House Shadowbox 4 with purple and orange paper from the paper stack. Before placing on the house, the paper edges were inked. The scary tree was left raw and had three distress inks applied over it; Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain and Black Soot.

The skeleton was gessoed and then Picket Fence Distress Stain was applied once the gesso was dry. Pop up dots were applied to the back before we was placed into the house. The "Boo!" was cut from the Border Halloween and embossed with Black Soot.

The tag on the front of the box is from the Graphic 45 Rare Oddities chipboard collection. I was inked with Vintage Photo before attaching to the house.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today. It is never too early to start your holiday decor projects!

Halloween Layout

Hello friends!!  Debbie with you today, it's that fun time of year again when all the fun costumes and candy come out!  Today I'm sharing a fun Halloween layout with you, the photo is of two of my grandkids in costume.  This particular year they were the 3 little pigs and the big bad wolf. As you can see the little piggy wasn't too scared of the big bad wolf.

For this layout I used the Border Halloween.  Such a perfect embellishment for this fun layout.  Here are the steps I took to decorate this piece.

Cover chipboard with black Gesso.

  Paint pieces.

Cover piece with Versamark clear embossing ink.

 Cover pieces with embossing powder

Hope you enjoyed this simple technique.  Thanks for stopping by Gina's Blog today!!
