Day 3 - 31 days of Halloween

Woohooo! We've made it to DAY3!!! How are you holding up? Aren't you just loving all the wonderful art?!?! Thank you to everyone that left me such thoughtful and nice comments yesterday when I was feeling not so creative....you gave my mojo the ego boost it needed to come out of hiding!!! At least for today anyway!

Now this project i made from a raw wood hinge box that I purchased at Michael's. I LOVE these things and have quite a few to work on. This one I painted with acrylic paints (purple, orange and metallic pearl) and used a bit of crackle for texturing. On the top of my box I used Poe and the wings from Quoth the Raven rubber set from Smeared Ink. I also used the fence stamp on the sides of the box for some added texture. On the inside I used the purple acrylic and a scarlet for an accent on the top inside of the box. I stamped NEVERMORE on that panel. Then, for my final touch I added some purple tissue paper and a mended heart jewel that I had in my stash. Hope you like it!!





And don't forget about all the awesome prizes you can WIN this month. For details you can visit Terra's first 31Days blog post here . Now off you go - get to hopping!!
