Ciao a tutti! Secondo post per me questa settimana! Oggi è il primo Venerdì di Settembre e puntuale arriva la sfida mensile di A Vintage Journey Challenge Blog Box It Up!
Julia ci ha proposto questo argomento davvero versatile, potete creare una scatola, alterare una scatola, usare la scatola come forma nei vostri journal o card o tag ... insomma liberate la vostra fantasia, l'importante è che lo facciate negli stili che amiamo: vintage, shabby, mixed media, journaling industriale, industriale o steampunk.
Hello everyone! Second post for me this week! Today is the first Friday of September and the monthly challenge of A Vintage Journey Challenge Blog Box It Up has arrived!
This month our theme is boxes! Perhaps you will make a trunk or suitcase, some kind of package to hold a gift, or maybe make a card or journal page showing presents. Just remember to ensure that you create in one of our preferred styles of vintage, shabby, mixed media, art journaling, industrial, timeworn or steampunk.
Sono in piena ossessione Halloween, ho così tante cose da utilizzare che non posso proprio fare a meno di creare ancora progetti con questo tema! Ho scelto la fustella Trinket Box di Eileen Hull e l'ho trasformata in una scatola spaventosa che però può anche contenere dolcetti per la sera di Halloween.
Sotto trovate il passo passo, che penso sia abbastanza chiaro. Solo due parole: ho la fortuna di avere già i nuovi colori degli Oxides Sprays e confesso che Black soot e Seedless preserves sono fantastici( per la verità lo sono tutti!) e assolutamente perfetti per Halloween! Quindi li ho utilizzati a piene mani per creare il mio sfondo nebbioso. Usare gli oxides sul nero è divertente, l'effetto che si crea è veramente quello della nebbia e una volta asciugato lo strato più chiaro potete macchiare con altri colori che risulteranno molto più evidenti.
I'm absolutely obsessed by Halloween, I have so many things to use that I absolutely have to keep creating projects with this theme! I chose Trinket Box dies by Eileen Hull and turned it into a scary box that can even hold sweets for Halloween.
Below is the step by step, which I think is sufficiently clear. A few words: I am lucky enough to already have the new colors of Oxides Sprays and I confess that Black soot and Seedless preserves are fantastic (actually they are all!) and absolutely perfect for Halloween! So I used them to create my foggy background. Using oxides on black is fun, the effect created is really that of fog and once the lightest layer has dried you can stain with other colors that will be much more evident.
For the sides of the box, I used one of the new Tim's stencils together with the Texture paste White crackle by Prima Marketing. The web from Life of the Party stamp set is wonderful and in this project, I used it on the front and back of the box together with the Bone embossing powder.
Con gli oxides sprays ho realizzato anche gli interni della scatola. Guardate il Black soot... Spettacolo!
With the oxides sprays I also made the interior of the box. Look at the Black soot ... Amazing!
Anche il set Cadaverous di Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous è decisamente tra i miei preferiti e qui l'ho utilizzato per la parte davanti e per l'interno della scatola insieme agli occhi colorati di Idea-ology.
Even Cadaverous Set by Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous is definitely one of my favorites and here I used it for the front and inside of the box together with the colored eyes by Idea-ology.
Ultimo passaggio la chiusura. Ho utilizzato Idea-ology Mummy cloth colorata con Seedless preserves Distress oxide Spray. In realtà la scatola non è chiusa, è composta di due parti staccate , il coperchio e il contenitore sotto. Il nastro è attaccato sotto alla parte decorata del coperchio e per chiuderla si avvolge alla scatola e si fa il nastro sul lato destro.
Dettagli come sempre!
Last step the closure of the box. I used Idea-ology Mummy cloth colored with Seedless preserves Distress oxide Spray. In reality the box is not closed, it is composed of two detached parts, the lid and the container underneath. The ribbon is attached underneath the decorated part of the lid and wraps around the box to close making the ribbon on the right side.
Details as always!
Spero vi sia piaciuta la mia scatola, vi ricordo che sul Blog di A Vintage Journey trovate le splendide interpretazioni di tutte le Gude creative e che avete un intero mese di tempo per partecipare con il vostro progetto!!! Vi aspetto là!

Amazing Barbara I love it! I know many crafters love Halloween but I have never really engaged with it - but when I see things like this I want to!! Stunning. The colours and details are superb. Nikki xxx
RispondiEliminaA fabulous Halloween box Barbara, each little corner of it just looks fantastic!! Brilliant use of those stamps and great colours!!
RispondiEliminaOooh! Or should I say Wooooooo (like a ghost!)?! You are really getting your spook on, Barbara and to brilliant effect (love the shot of your inky fingers too... that should scare people off on Halloween by itself). Your background papers look so amazing - really old and distressed and mouldy and almost diseased. That is a compliment, I promise! Amazing work with the stamps, bringing the Halloween bones and skulls to life so well, and it's all such fun too.

Barbara, you KILL me with your un-ending creativity! I love every single detail on your treat box from the eyes in the skull to the crackled zig zag on the sides of the box. Your play with the new sprays resulted in some amazing backgrounds, and so you have tempted me once again to add to my stash! You do have lots of cool stuff for the holidays! I'm so glad you share it so freely through your art and explanations! Hugs!
RispondiEliminaPS Love what we used to call 'watch eyes'!
