Boo

Remeber that I said that my niece was going to a Halloween party this weekend. Well - she managed to find an outfit, but I wanted to make something for her to bring (to the two other young ladies that are having the party). I ended up making 2 boxes filled with candy such as worms, frogs, fake teeth, sculls etc.

The only problem I had was that I did not have any Halloween stamps - since I am not really in to the whole Halloween thing (it is not big here in Sweden, but might be soon - just looking at all the things they have in the shops now). So I had to draw something fast myself.

Here's the result - one with a Pumpkin on legs with a dew drop for nose and the witch hat, the other one with a pumpkin and a teenage witch with a spider necklace. I found the spiders in my grocery shop and added them with a dimensional. Cardstock and DPs from SU. Everything coloured with SU markers and aquarelle brush. Highlights with stickles and white gel pen. Boo written in a "spooky way" with gunmetal stickles.

I also wanted to make some candy that was really scary - so I made some fingers for her. They are made out of marzipan, the nail is a non-stop (chocolate candy here in Sweden) and the blood is just caramel colour. I think they really look scary - don't you? However - they taste very nice ;-)

The pics of the boxes looks a little orange - but that's because it's really, really dark outside here now. It's pitch black..

Natti, natti
