Enameled wallpaper

Hi everyone,

Yesterday I had a very fun crafting evening at my BFF Lein's house. Ellen, Lein and me have been very creative. We were all busy with very different projects. I had two projects on my to create list and this is one of them.

I'm totally in Halloween mode and despite I only have one Halloween stamp, I manage to make all kinds of different Halloween inspired projects. This tag I made for Compendium of Curiosities Challenge and we were asked to visit page 44 of the book for this challenge. I happen to have the stamp that Tim uses in his example and I think it's perfect for Halloween. The Wallpaper stamp is also super for a haunted mansion interior theme.



The chair, table and spider I cut with my Silhouette Cameo.First I used stickles to cover the spider and let it dry overnight. Pity the stickles don't with as much dimension as when you put it on. So for dimension I used Glossy Accents, but it didn't dry clear. It still has that milky sheen. Ahh well.  I recently bought some googly eyes and they fit perfectly on the skull. Hilarious! LOL



Thank you for stopping by! Love to see you next time!

Hugs,
Sandra

This is so clever! It's as if you've created a room in a haunted house. Love your tag, and that enameled background is super rich.

Great choice of colours which really do make it look like a spooky wallpaper. The chair works so well at the bottom and that skull is perfect with his googly eyes. Another triumph Sandra. Hugs, Buttons x

So dramatic! I love it. I miss Halloween over here in AUS. It's just not celebrated like it is in the US.
