So today’s WT challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers is to use wood. Hmmmm… I only had two things that were made of wood–a box and a frame, so I went with the frame. (This one was $1 from Michaels.)
To get the “mitered” corners, I cut four strips of the patterned paper. I adhered the top and bottom strips, then laid the left and right strips over the top and bottom ones, marked the corners, then cut the paper from my marks to each outside corner. That’s the easiest way I’ve found to get that look. I added the orange dots with an orange 3-d gel pen and the “stitch” lines with a black marker. The “Happy Halloween” was centered using my Stamp-a-ma-jig.
The inside square is covered with a different pattern from the same Memory Box package. I stamped the spider and pumpkins (by C.C. Designs available at All That Scraps) onto Bazzill Coconut Smoothies and colored them in with Copic markers. I *think* I’m finally getting the hang of shading with those! The eyes are colored in with a black 3-d gel pen so they’re nice and shiny.
The small pumpkin is adhered directly to the paper while the big one is popped up on a dimensional. The spider is raised on three dimensionals with the string tucked between the first two then wrapped around to the back and tucked in between the frame and the insert.
Thanks for stopping by!
