Halloween week.. part two

A haunted house to bolster the imagination. This little project started out as a birdhouse from a craft store spray painted black. A good whack of the hammer pushes the bird roosts into the house. Careful though, it could crack the foundation. Measure and cut your paper, use Mod Podge to adhere.
The roof is a series of different strips of paper cut out with a Martha Stewart edge punch, all drippy and gooey. Each strip is adhered with Terrifically Tacky tape and has a thick wedge of chipboard in between the strips to add dimension.
The fence is a QK border die and a wood grained paper.
The resident spider complete with googly eyes drops from the upper story eaves.
Love the sparkly tree from Michaels. I added the Basic Grey "eerie" epoxy ghosts to the branches.
For a bit of ghoulish fun, I added a very old skeleton (earring) resting on the fence still holding his treat bucket.. and a tombstone cut from Basic Grey packaging stamped with the JustRite mini font.

Really, we are so close.. make sure you leave a post.. no more reminders this week.. I have a choice of two prizes.. one sewing, one scrapbooking. I will draw for the prize next Saturday, so be sure to leave posts all week long!

Be Creative!
