For my project, I took a cute little box that once held blank notecards. It went from this:
TO THIS:
Since it's Friday the 13th, I decided to use some creepy paper I had in my stash. Now, I'm not one to be superstitious when it comes to Friday the 13th, but I do know that some people feel very nervous on this day. Some people take extra precautions in the hopes that they will avoid any form of bad luck. Somehow, I thought the wicked-looking eyes on this pp would be perfect for this project.
The word BEWARE came to mind, so I used MTC to weld these letters and create a shadow. The font I used was Blackwood Castle. I then added a bunch of googly eyes to the letters. I also cut out a black cat that was a free svg file from this blog. Here is a close-up of the cat to show the shimmery detail I added with a Sakura pen.
I also added a googly eye to the middle of this black rose which I made myself out of satin.
I also added a black satin bow to the box just as an added touch and also to act as a sort of lock for the box. I'm giving this to my teenager so she can put some trinkets inside.
Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to hop on over to Jane's blog next to check out her wicked creation!
