Spooky Shadow Box at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

Firstly, we had some devastating news that on the 25th of September, our beautiful Veronica, co-owner of The Paper Shelter store, tragically passed away.  

Our thoughts and prayers are with Pedro, their son Gabriel (seen with Veronica below), and their family.

You can see the official announcement here.

Our challenge over on the blog this week is Halloween or Halloween Colours, so let your imagination fly (like a witch, or a bat maybe).

I have used page 14 of the Halloween Castle Scenes colouring book for a spooky shadow box.

I love making myself new decorations for Halloween and this scene is perfect.

I don't usually add sentiments to shadow boxes, but as I have Halloween stamps, I wanted to utilize them.

The gauze is white cheesecloth that I ran my black ink pad over to make it match the box better.

I wanted to make my ghosts look like they are floating out of the picture, so I used small pieces of vellum folded in half to push their "heads" forward,

Thank you for stopping by today. Your kind comments are always appreciated.

Please come and join in our challenge this week and remember, you can use any image but if you use a Paper Shelter image you are eligible for a higher value prize!

You can also share your creations over in our Facebook Group.
