Well as promised, here are the other two sides of the tissue box we did this past weekend. We had a lot of fun and they learned several new techniques.
I loved making all the sides for this box and wanted it to be good for not just Halloween, but for the entire fall season. This ghost I think took the most amount of time. The background was the masking technique. I started with a piece of Whisper White card stock and die cut one of the smaller circles. I then sponged on Daffodil Delight, then added Elegant Eggplant, and ended with Night of Navy. After I took off the mask I gently rubbed over the moon with the Elegant Eggplant. The stars are from the new star border punch and adhered with the two way glue. The bat is the larger butterfly punch and 1/2" circle punch. The "tomb stones" are made from the Modern Label punch. The grass is cut with the fringe scissors. I did sponge it before I cut it and then crinkled it to add more texture. I also added some leaves from the new fall frame lit, which is the same one that has the ghost.
This side was pretty simple. I used the woodgrain stamp and Early Espresso ink and stamped on Soft Suede card stock. The wreath I used the baby wipe technique. I used the same inks as the DSP. The phrase inside is from the new Hostess set you can earn for FREE! It's called Good Greetings. It's a great set that is so versatile. The promotion ends on the 31st. You do need to host a workshop with sales of $300 (before shipping and tax).
Well I hope you enjoyed this box. I've already made, a very simple, box for the Christmas season. If you need any of the measurements or directions, please contact me.
Happy Stamping!
