My Vintage Halloween!

Hello everyone!  I got one of those Tim Holtz clocks.  I love the shabby chic look but wanted to do a vintage halloween theme.  Originally I was going to do the classic black dark halloween look but since this clock will be sitting out year round, I thought I'd try something different.  I like the vintage colors and wanted browns and creams in this.  I painted the clock with 2 coats of gesso, then one coat of cream colored acrylic paint.  I slapped some modeling paste on for some texture then sprayed it with Lindy's stamp gang chocolate truffle, Cadbury milk chocolate, and creamed brûlée starburst sprays.  I love the shimmer!!!  Once again I wanted to dive into my graphic 45 halloween in wonderland paper.  This paper is the classifieds sheet so it was all cream and black.  Perfect!!!!

I have some burlap inside the clock as well as some layered behind my prima flowers.  

I used Tim Holtz clasp and rubbed some of that acrylic paint on it so it wouldn't be so plain bronze.  The pocket watch was from michaels and key is TH.  I used TH fragments with glossy accents to make the charm.  

Key hole metal charm from TH and backed it up with scraps of the paper.  I rubbed it with acrylic paint and sprayed it with chocolate truffle.

Fussy cut Alice and added mod podge on the back to give her strength.  

I love making the drink me bottles with glitter.  So cute!

Layer layer layer! I used TH rickety house die, odds and ends ticket stamp, prima flowers, and recollections bling.

Multi levels of pop dots for extreme 3-d effects!

I hope you like my vintage halloween : ) 

Steampunk spells altered wooden box

Hi all! So I finally got to play around with graphic 45's steampunk spells paper collection.  I decided to alter a wooden box I got from michaels a while back.  I did some fussy cutting and made it a little more 3d.  I made paper flowers and used my tim holtz gears die for embellishing.  I also used tim holtz word play to cut out the numbers 45, for graphic 45 of course!  The inside is still a bit empty, I'm working on my mini to go along with my box!
