I found this little shadow box at the dollar store a couple months back. I knew I wanted it for Halloween, so I painted it black and then it just sat in my Studio until this morning. I cut some scraps of paper to fit in the squares and then went through my Halloween embellishment box to decorate each box. I am just loving the little skeletons from the dollar tree. I am so glad I picked them up. I only used one in the shadow box. I just cut it into pieces. BWAHAHAHAHA.
(Supplies used: Acrylic paint and foam brush, dimensional glaze, my ATG gun and foam mounting tape: Martha Stewart Halloween papers, Target Halloween Papers: Left to right, top to bottom: lizard was in my stash from prior Halloweens - I think I got it as part of a package at the dollar store : skull and crossbones are from a skeleton from a garland from the dollar store : bats are from a ribbon I got at one of the big chain craft stores : pumpkins and leaves are from a pic from a big chain store : numbers used are Thickers, Tim Holtz 2 inch square Fragment : skeleton arms/hands are from the garland, rose is one from my stash that I Copic'ed dark grey, leaves are from stash but I can't remember where I got them : skeleton parts are from the garland : flower is one from a dollar package from JoAnn's : and finally fly and spider are from dollar store, as are the mouse on top and the little spiders on the box. Ribbon hanger is from my stash.)
Now off to finish some other projects...........
