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 : ) 

Shabby chic vintage mini tag book

So lazy Sunday comes and I decided to make this quick mini shabby chic book!  This would be a great little gift for someone.  I had fun making it. It was quick and easy.  I have 6 pages total and used pink paislee's London market paper.  Hope you enjoy! 

I used the alphabet stamp from paper smooches on my cover.

On the back there is a belly band to hold tags and pix.  On the second page I used the Eiffel Tower die from TH.  so you can slide pix behind the tower.

I then used the dress form die from TH on my third page.

Fourth page is the birdcage from TH and I used Martha Stewart's butterfly punch to make the butterflies outside of the cage.

Fifth page I used lace on a roll then placed pearls on it.

And last but not least a pocket page with a doily edge punch.
