Witchy Shrine for Halloween!

This was a really fun project... purple is fast becoming one of my favorite Halloween colors!

"You say I am a witch like it is a bad thing"

Altered Pages Design Team members are having a great time partnering with SinCity Stamps and their Design Team this month!!! I hope you have been inspired by all the great projects this month!

Today I am working with the Window Chipboard Shrine designed by Barbara Rankin.  This was a really fun project.

To start, I used my bone folder and created a score-line where I wanted to fold the shrine. Then I inked all the edges, including the fold creases and back. In this post if I mention stamping, everything is stamped with black ink.

      

Cover the three panels with pattern cardstock. Before adhering stamp images, center panel has the Winged Skeleton stamped and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Print the Altered Pages Collage Sheet "H"is for Halloween

on Craft Attitude Printable film. Cut the "H" from the sheet you would like to use and adhere with glue stick. 

Cover the shrine window with tacky glue and sprinkle with Vintage Glass Glitter - Lavender. Set aside to dry.  Once dry add foam dots (here they are double stacked). Glue paper raven to the back of the frame and set aside to dry. 

Stamp Pumpkin Hot Air Balloon directly on the left panel and on a white piece of paper and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Using Copics color the image stamped on the white paper. Fussy cut the witch in the basket and the pumpkin balloon with the cat on top.  Adhere these to the card. 

Stamp sentiment Witch Phrase, "You say I am a witch like it is a bad thing"on the third (right) panel. Add felt raven and Glitz Large Rhinestones Raven (looks like the moon).
