Trick or Treat-Its Halloween!!!

Yess...its almost time for the BIG BIG Halloween ...though its not a big deal in India but it of course is the festivity time in most parts of the world......My nephew and niece have recently settled down from Denver to Bangalore and are visiting me ....in order to give them a feel of Halloween so that they dont miss the celebrations there...I decided to make them some treat boxes....I have been on a roll recently with gift packaging and treat bags etc ...(pics coming soon)...so I surfed and surfed unless I found something worthwhile on the youtube and here I am with my version .....

I had a few Halloween themed PP and die cuts from Oh My Crafts which I had been hoarding for last 4 years (they were a gift from my friend for all those Indian crafter friends raising their eyebrows) and finally just when I decided that maybe I should give it away or sell it .....my kiddos arrive and am able to use them up....sooooo yayayya ...am doing the happy dance!!!

The side slit that you see is where you can push in the treats from.....both ends have those slits.....the girl's dress and headband are separate die cuts which have been stuck on the figure ....

I particularly love this one ....because of the colours ...the dress and the hat are paper pieced...

Another angle....the two figures have been popped up with the help of dimensionals on the standing piece...

Hope you all like this .....as this is my first time with Halloween projects!!!

Did you all see the "I am a winner" at Incy Wincy Designs-Make a Bookmark Challenge  badge??? Well that also gave me an opportunity to interact with Chris who happened to offer me a chance to be a Guest DT at their challenge blog for a month!!!yayayyaya...and am super excited with my first post for them.....

The theme of the challenge this week is BEARS, BEARS, BEARS.  And the sponsor is The Stamp Fairy with a prize of $10 Gift Cetificate for the shop.

Well I was given an option to choose between a few images to play with and could choose anyone from that for any project that I could think off!!! Wooow....must say they are a pretty flexible team to work with...who offer you enough room to put on your creative caps and think of what you can offer to them in return....

So this is what I created with my Stamp Fairy image....have a look....

I have made a treat bag using the image....the treat bag base is Bazzill Textured Cardstock....the image is printed out on a white Fabriano CS and then die cut...coloured with my Tombow Markers....the green strokes that you see on the background is done using my Staedtler watercoloring pencils ....

The side view...its open on both sides  ...

 The other side...

The top border punch is Fiskars Border Punch-Treading Water

After filling the colours with my Tombow Markers I have sprayed the entire image with Spritz Frost Shimmer...am not sure the camera has captured it too well....

Do join in for this fun challenge ....at Incy Wincy Designs..Bear, Bears, Bears....and watch out this space for every Monday for more of my GDT projects!!!
