After a day that started off rather stressful at work and seemed headed for worse, I am excited to head towards the end of the day on much brighter notes. First, I'm happy with the way something I made tonight turned out ( arent we all our own harshest critics?) and second, I got a note from Michelle at
Someday Crafts that she was featuring my "Witchy Boots", and third and very exciting....I reached 300 Followers today!!!! Woo-hoo!!!
Thank you all you wonderful chocoholics out there who have decided to follow my chocolate fueled ramblings. I will announce a fun giveaway tomorrow, and don't forget to link up to my Open House on Friday!!!
Since I was in an unpleasant mood when I started this project, I didn't take pix along the way. The steps are the same as the Owl project from last night. I love Edgar Allen Poe and wanted to do something for Halloween based on "The Raven". Of course
The Graphics Fairy didn't disappoint but I also found some cool skulls at
The Vintage Moth. So here 'tis.

| "Quoth the Raven, Nevermore" |
Materials:
- Canvas Art Board
- Burlap design scrapbook paper
- Scrapbook paper scrap
- Black stamping ink
- Cream acrylic paint
- Avery clear label paper
- K&Co adhesive borders
- Mod Podge
I mounted the skulls on some scrap cardstock, trimmed, and adhered with foam dots for more dimension:
And I just wouldn't be me w/out some bling. Shouldn't skully eyes glisten?!
The birdcage is also from The Graphics Fairy. Off to find some chocolate!
Congrats on 300! That is fantastic and a feature on Someday Crafts.
ReplyDeleteI adore this! I'm kind of hoping this is the giveaway! :)

Looks like your day turned a lot better than mine (thank got for chocolate as it helped preserve my sanity at work *G*. Congrats on a great milestone and the feature is well deserved. Your witchy boots are all totally cute. As soon as I manage to let go of the summer, I'll have to get to put one of those on my Halloween crafts list. I'm not quite ready yet ...

ReplyDeleteYour house must look very cool at Halloween!!
ReplyDeleteVery cool, I love the skulls, must go and print those out... I wouldn't want to get up in the middle of the night and see this on the wall, might scare the pee out of me before I made it to the bathroom.....
