Mouse Trap Magic

Had a lot of fun today turning a 3" x 7" mousetrap into a Halloween scene.  The paper is from Authentique, the mousetrap from ACE Hardware and the RIP coffin, zombie, flames and bats are all Grapevine Designs & Studio.  The final step was to spray the whole thing with glitter. 

My fingers are a sticky mess because I kept fussing with the paint and spritzing I did but it was all unnecessary stressing as all the embellishment pieces covered most of it up. 

Nine more costume and candy shopping days left.....

Ten More Days Until Halloween

It's time to start working on our spooky.....

This spooky tag is made with a lot of fun, Dylusions spray for the background, translucent paste through a stencil for texture with some random stamping.  The two chipboard skull embellishments (by Grapevine Designs & Studio...of course) were enhanced with primary elements powders.  The rest of the tag was dressed up with ribbon, brads, flowers and a metal bird from my stash drawer.  The purple Spooky word was painted with Snap Dragon acrylic silk paint.  It took about 45 minutes to do and was just layers of fun.


I hope you are finding time to get your spooky on!
