Halloween Diorama

Good Morning Everyone!  Hope you are having a wonderful Saturday morning.

While I was checking out some of my favorite crafting blogs I came across a very cute Halloween Diorama made by Dina Concienne which you can find HERE.  She actually made one using a video project by Jim the Gentleman Crafter which you can find HERE.  Please go and check both of their blogs out, they are incredible crafters.

Anyway I liked them so much I decided I needed to make one for my grandkids.  I bought most of the items from Michaels the craft store.  I used a Tiddly Inks Digital called Trick or Treat Wrens which you can find HERE.  This project was very time consuming to make but I loved crafting it.

The following pictures show you:
     1. The front with the lid on.
     2. Looking from the top down.
     3. Taking the top off and looking inside.
     4. Looking into the hole from the front to see the inside.

Here it is...and oh yea I am going to enter it into the Tiddly Inks weekly challenge "Halloween" which you can find HERE.  Hope you like it!

3. Looking down inside

4. Looking from front to see the inside



You can see from the picture of the inside that all that is in there is a black xmas tree, a black bird in a cage tag, a battery powered tea light, a black fence and three different sizes of the pumpkin cut from Peek a Boo Bug by Tiddly Inks. I left my floor painted black but you could put paper on it if you wanted. It really looks cute when you turn the big lights off and turn on the tea light inside the diorama.

My Project Recipe:

     Digital - Trick or Treat Wrens and the Pumpkin cut from Peek a Boo Bug both by Tiddly Inks

     Paper - K&Company Halloween Speciality Paper Pack 12x12

     Flowers - Wild Orchid Crafts and Prima

     Paper Punches - Boo Border by EKSuccess and Spider Web by Martha Stewart

     Metal Die - Wrought Iron Fence by Memory Box and Lovely Fence by DooHickey

     Inked Edges - Distress Ink "Black Soot"

     Sparkle & Shine - Stardust by Stickles and Glossy Accents by Inkssentials

     My Stash - Ribbon and crape paper

Miscellaneous Items from Michaels:  Black & Orange Paint, 4" Paper Mache Cylinder (I cut a 3" circle in it using my xacto knife), Tea Light that flickers, Boo & Trick or Treat Ribbons, Small Xmas Tree spray painted black, and Embellishments by Recollections, K&Company and Jolee's Boutique.  I also bought wood pieces to make legs, square box for top and pieces I glued together to make a finial for the top of the box.

I made my own spider web using glue and black glitter.  It's under the flowers...

Wryn Blooms - Cherished

Good morning everyone!  I'm excited today to post a card I made using a new digital I just purchased from Tiddly inks.  Tiddly Inks is new to me and oh how I love them!!!  I even added a badge link to their website in my side bar so you could go check it out too.  By the way they are having a new release on August 14th and I am so very excited to see their new items!

Tiddly Inks is also having a Challenge which they start every Tuesday...I'm going to enter this card into this week's Challenge #92, you can find it here.  The challenge is to use your favorite Tiddly Inks and I admit that on Wednesday I purchased 7 digitals from them and well I love them all.  They are really to new for me to pick one favorite yet...so here is the first one I colored.

Oh I almost forgot...I also started getting emails from Deconstructed Sketch by Jen Shults.  I used the DS62 for this layout but I turned it sideways so the bow was on the side instead of the bottom of the card.  I think I may post this card there too...you can find the Deconstructed Sketches here.

I hope you like it...
