Halloween Shadow Box Frame

My peeps got to make this spooktacular Halloween shadow box frame along with a vintage label pillow box favor (posting tomorrow).  We had so much fun, lots of giggles were definitely going around...thanks to everyone for being so into the spirit of things - spirit get it?!  
The spooky sweet "bottle" is the a muse studio ticket stub die just cut a little past the perforation line.  I came up with the idea while in search for what I could use to make an apothecary bottle....Eeeeeeheeehehee!

Quick Tip: To make the fence I used the wood plank paper from the Mysterious Manor patterned paper pack and with the corner of a square punch I simply notched out the the "fence posts".

Peculiar Halloween Bottles

Copper Halloween Bottles Quick Tutorial:

• Die cut bottles from watercolor paper using the Peculiar Potions die
• Use a paint brush and copper peerless watercolors to coat each die cut
• Use heat tool to speed up drying time
• Add additional coats of copper until you achieve the desired saturation for each bottle
• For the darkest bottle I used a sponge dauber and really globbed on the paint then overheated it to make the paint bubble up for added texture
• Stamp images, color with markers etc., as your last step

I also added faux brads/nail heads on the sentiment panel using the copper paint too. You can see a quick tutorial on that here: http://amped2stamp.blogspot.com/2014/09/fox-hole-and-faux-brads.html.

Every year the first Saturday in October I hold my annual customer appreciation party where I treat my peeps to a totally free event and pamper them with lots of creative make-n-takes, party favors, door prizes and spooktacular Halloween FUN!  If you're bummed that you missed it this year mark your calendar now for October 3, 2015!
And most importantly, a special thank you to all my peeps who make my events a priority in their busy lives and who support me all year long.  I couldn't do this without you and your loyalty, creativity and enthusiasm make me the most blessed stamping instructor  ever!  I love and appreciate you so very much!
