Touchy-feely Creation

Image
 After creating many parts and pieces I decided to work in creating a vignette today. For this little Halloween scene I wanted to creat a mini crypt in the base with a tomb stone, drippy candles, idea-ology fence, midnight mica, and the black roses from last night. For the candles I lit them using some tiny lights poked through the centre of each candle. These are candles I made last year during a TH demo. On the top I made an oak tree out of twisted beading wire and added some die cut leaves from funky autumn. Also added in some bone yard bones and an urn.  This make also worked well in creating to the theme of  Touchy-feely. (Crackle distress rock candy paint, mica flakes, smooth yupo paper, iron fence, rough glittered roses, twisted wire, and rough grassy fauna. Used: idea-ology tomb stone, tiny lights, bone yard, pumpkins, urn, Halloween washi tape, tattered wall paper, Sizzix funky autumn, moon and stars Bigz die, tiny tattered florals, distress midnight mica, distress night fall
