Halloween challenge over at RoP/BnW

Happy Monday to you all! Hope you had a great weekend. We def. did.
We got to spend a lot of time outdoors in the crisp, fresh and cold Autumn air.
And yes - we even got the winter tires on - so we are ready for the snow ;-)

This time it's our supertalented Iris who has set the challenge over at our RoP/BnW site. We should create something for Halloween - card, invitation or treat bag . Well - I have always wanted to make one of these coaster boxes - and this time I decided to do one.
So I got my bind-it-all-machine out (it's collecting a lot of dust - don't know why, but....), my light-weight coasters that I got from Angie Juda. I covered the coasters with 4 x 4 of the Eerie DPs. Sanded the edges so that the DPs and the coasters became one ;-)
Punched the wholes with my bind-it-all, tied the 4 pieces together with ribbon from my stash. Glued the 5th coaster to the 4 sides and there I had the bottom of the box.
Coloured the image of Sitting Mimosa with my copics and cut her out. Wanted to show you that you can use a stamp that is not typical Halloween and still create the feeling of it - by using the DPs as the background scene. Added a couple of scary brads ;-) from Basic Grey.
I just put a little candle in the center - and then you can use it as the decoration for your Halloween party - or you can fill it with tons of candy. The choice is yours.
Well - hope you like it and want to play with us.
Kram and make sure that you check the rest of the DTs creations.

Oh Anki, this is a fabulous idea, and you have done a gorgeous job with it! It's almost "spooky" other than the adorable little Mimosa girl, of course she is not scary at all. ha ha
I just love everything you did here.
