Dracula Comes Tonight by Laura Carson + a Giveaway!
Filed under Art Projects, Design Team, Giveaways, Halloween, Newsletters, Sale
I’m pretty sure Design Team Member Laura Carson doesn’t sleep. Or has a band of merry men to do her bidding. Whichever it is, I love the dramatic scene Laura created based on her love of old Dracula movies and the New! Fancy Chipboard Window Frame! (A nice, wide laser-cut chipboard window — with a pretty half-round window above the center.)
From turning the On Sale! Gargoyle Front View Die-Cut Chipboard into a bat (at the top) to the details like the roses and letter/envelope to Mina left on the tiny table, the inagination and attention to details are fabulous.
And using the large dragons from the On Sale! Ornate Dragons Collage Sheet as columns at either side of Mina’s room is a great idea.
Laura didn’t yet have the New! Die-Cut Chipboard Columns Set (which would be about the same height)… I wonder what she’ll whip up now that there’s new chipboard furniture available (see below for photos).
(And the base of that tiny table is one of the Back in Stock Wood Finial Chess Pawns.)
Additional photos are in the gallery. For even more info (and tips on putting the whole scene together), see Laura’s blog.
Plus don’t forget to look below for the Giveaway Miz Meghan chose, based on Laura’s artwork!
AND, that Dracula Gift Kit shown at left (a FREE gift kit inspired by Laura’s artwork — free for all orders over $20 till we run out!) is also included in today’s Giveaway. And, all the scrapbook papers included in the kit are On Sale too!
