Hello everyone! This month is almost over, time really flies. We have a 'this is a treat' challenge at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge this week.
I made a little Halloween treat bag using Tim Holtz In The Bag die, Distress Ink, stamps and a stencil. The In the Bag die is a Movers and Shapers die and I placed the owl die inside it when die cutting it, to get an owl shaped window. The bag was die cut from manila cardstock.
Behind the window there is a piece of Frosted Film, coloured with alcohol ink and stamped with a spider web stamp. It is translucent, so you'll be able to peak what is inside the bag. I thought the owl would look fun with googly eyes.
At the back, the bag looks like this. I splattered the bag with Black Soot distress ink, smeared on my craft sheet, misted with water and picked up with a paint brush.
You might be able to see the frosty surface of the owl better here. I love Frosted Film.
The handle is a piece of wire which was wrapped with tinsel.
I hope you will join us in the challenge. As every week, one random participant wins a $50 gift voucher from Simon Says Stamp.
Thank you so much for looking!
Happy crafting!
Anna-Karin

ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute, yet sophisticated, treat bag! I love how you used traditional colors, but kept them subtle. It's a great look and I particularly like how you made the background stenciling stand out. It is perfect and I'd rather have this than a bunch of candy any day!
