Before I show you my project I wish to say huuuuuge CONGRATS to our Winner - FIONA aka Anubis and our Top 3 ... Croms, Julia and Keren.
Now I actually got my butt in gear this time and managed to scrape out a project. I have made an altered box. This was a little box I made ages ago for Valentines Day probably and I decided to Poe it up :-)
I used my 'Raven Poe' as the top piece (available from my SHOP here). Around the sides I used 'Flower King Horizontal Border' from Smeared Ink. I used black distress ink round all the sides, and added some blue/black roses to match up with the skull border.
I am going to use this box to put a little giftette in that I am making for a chum :-)
We had a fabulous number of peeps play along with us last month, and I hope you will pop over to see the gorgeous creations my Teamies have made for you to see, and maybe even play along with us this month.
Just remember - it says Anything POES, so your project must be related to Edgar Allan Poe or his works in order to qualify for the Prize. :-)
See you later and thank you for dropping by xxxxxxxxxxxxx

ReplyDeleteIt's not often that I see something with skulls in the crafty world (maybe I'm just looking at the wrong places lol). I teach literature and I like Poe's work. I think your project reflects his work perfectly. Thanks for sharing your project with us at Crafty ribbons. Hugs! xx
ReplyDeleteSuper and skull-like! xxx

ReplyDeleteTypical cut and paste comment coz I checked out the other cards on your challenge and it's the same. Funny though that 3 of them are black and white projects too - quite obvious you haven't even looked.!!!!
