Happy Halloween

In a couple of weeks it will be Halloween! Are you ready? Today I’m sharing a treat/giftbox using non-Halloween paper, but with the use of eBrush and stamps from the Witch House set, the transformation is a success.

In addition to the Witch House stamp set, I used Cricut Explore Air, black and silver metallic Sharpie markers; clear rhinestones; adhesive tape, clear dots; modeling paste; Halloween stamps, NON- Halloween paper; ribbon and the eBrush, so here we go:

I used the Cricut Explore Air to cut the box, the spider web stencil and spider. I used the clear Black Polka Dot transparency for the lid and the gray pattern paper for the base of the box. I cut the spider web stencil and spider from scraps.

I used paper clips to hold the stencil in place and applied modeling paste. I waited for the modeling paste to dry and placed the stencil so I can eBrush the image with a black Sharpie.

I wasn’t feeling the black spider web, so I removed the stencil and eBrushed the image with the silver metallic Sharpie. I then replaced the stencil and eBrushed it with the black Sharpie. {photo missing}

I then cut a tag from Chevron pattern paper and lightly eBrushed it with the silver metallic Sharpie to allow for stamping. I also used the black Sharpie around the edges.

Here is my Halloween gift box. I used ribbon I’ve been hoarding forever and a day and blinged out the spider just a bit.

I used the sentiment and the bats from Witch House stamp set. I used black Staz On ink, but silver metallic Sharpie still came through. I like it! The bats look like they’re flying out from some creepy Halloween fog. {laugh}
