Festive Halloween Votives & Nevermore
Filed under Art Projects, Caroline Ouzts-Hay, Collage Sheets, Edgar Allan Poe Kit, Featured Artwork, Giveaways, Laura Carson
Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. However, you can see the supply lists for both projects on the new site: Carolines’s Nevermore, Laura’s Festive Halloween Votives and Candles.
Guess who is back from her Rolling Naked All Summer in Glitter World Tour with her offering for the Edgar Allan Poe Kit? It is Caroline Ouzts-Hay with Nevermore!
I love this piece — in fact I may have to make one for my mantle; or just hop on my broom and steal this one from Caroline. After all, she IS only one state over from me!
Caroline wrapped a wood block with the Arsenic and Lace Scrapbook Paper – Spooky Icons (available in the kit). Then she adhered a standing tall, Mr. Poe cut from the Just Poe Collage Sheet to one corner and attached her Black Chipboard Raven with a 1/8 Inch Wooden Dowel in the other corner.
The very same paper she wrapped the wood block with also (just the opposite side) was used to cover both the Raven and the banner background. Stamp each banner piece that you’ve cut out to spell Nevermore with the Antique Typewriter Mini Alphabet Set, add a few Resin Skull Beads and there you have it! A fabulous ode to Poe.
To see what else Caroline used and for more pictures fly on over to Caroline’s blog.
Next is one of many Halloween offerings from “Hey watch me pull another amazing project out of my pocket” Laura Carson!
Laura has created Festive Halloween Votives and Candles AND a NEW Collage Sheet & Digital Image Set! Way easy for you to create and decorate your home with, or give out as hostess gifts for all of those wild Halloween parties in the suburbs you’ll be attending. I have heard stories about parties at subdivisions around here, yes I have. I’d tell you what I’ve heard but you’d be so shocked you’d be frozen in place for days!
Since Alpha Stamps can produce our own sticker sheets from any of the Collage Sheets that we carry, Laura decided to make a Halloween Silhouettes Collage Sheet that would be easy to cut-out and would work fabulously for decorating things like the Votive Candle Holder – Glass, candles, bottles and as backgrounds for layered artwork. (And in case you want to take the images in some other direction or scale them up for really large projects, Laura also created a Halloween Silhouettes Digital Download Set.)
(Psst! And since ALL of these Halloween items are On Sale, that means the new collage sheet and digital set are, too!
– The ENTIRE Halloween Theme Section
– The ENTIRE Halloween Collage Sheets Section
– The ENTIRE Halloween Rubber Stamps Section)
Don’t forget to add fun embellishments like the New and On Sale! Gothic Lace Black Border Stickers, 1/2 Inch Scalloped Black Lace, and Black Sweeper Fringe to your creations. Remember, details… it’s all in the details!
Here’s Laura’s full Supply List. For more pictures and instructions on how to create your own spoooooky creations, saddle up your pumpkin and head on over to Laura’s blog.
