Spooky Artwork, New Creepy Trees & Gothic Frames, Halloween Sale!
Filed under Art Projects, Bird Watcher Kit, Halloween, Miniatures, Shannon Cooper
It’s never too early for Halloween. Really. And I’m so pleased that Design Team Member Shannon Cooper managed to take one of the new Loopy Chipboard Scroll Corners and incorporate it into the Mini Birdhouse Shrine from this month’s kit… and magically turn it into The Dark Shrine!
Here’s a bit from Shannon’s blog post (with a tutorial!) to get us started:
The Bird Watcher Kit for this month from Alpha Stamps is such a delight! It has a Mini Birdhouse Shrine, pretty papers, the Petite Birds & Nests Half Sheet, mulberry paper flowers, and a bunch of other stuff to create something lovely! Maybe an ornament for a bird-loving friend? A tiny garden shed? Lots of possibilities!
But I didn’t do any of that. I think I miss Hallowe’en.
The Mini Birdhouse Shrine fit nicely on top of two Window Boxes with Gothic Facades with room left over for a perimeter of black and red roses.
Most everything was painted black, but a collage sheet image was glued to the back to lighten things up a bit.
Aside: I started laughing when I read that bit, as the collage sheet image that is “lightening things up” shows a woman with her head in her hands. weeping over a fallen knight.
After painting everything black, I used a woodgrain patterned stamp for the walls of the shrine. The window boxes were also painted black but wrapped with Black Woodgrain Scrapbook Paper and Half Scale Widows Walk Fencing was added.
Great job, Shannon! So clever to use 2 of the window boxes as a shrine base! Read more and see more photos on Shannon’s blog post or view the supply list.
