Chic Coffin - Happy Halloween!!

I love Halloween for the fun you can have with the dark and macabre, shakes things up a bit. So with that in mind......

Happy Halloween everyone!!

I made a little present coffin box and dressed it up with a little shabby chic-ness, why not dress up dark and sinister ;). The coffin opens up and cackles at you, so I thought why not decorate it (it was just plain wood).

I sprayed the entire box with 3 colors of Heidi Swapp Color Shine (Georgia peach, Black Velvet, and Chartreuse). I layered the misting (letting some dry before adding on another layer of spray), plus I also added in some layers of Claudine Hellmuth Studio paint (in similar colors of green, orange, and black). I then let it all dry before adding on the Halloween Washi tape - Beware of what might lurk inside!!

Here you can see I used a stencil (you can special order items like the stencils, paint, etc from Flamingo Scraps) to added a layer of Claudine Hellmuth gesso mixed with slow drying medium to create texture. After it all dried hard I sprayed with the color shine colors again. I then added in my Prima flower cluster (some also sprayed with color shine to match - the black and green flowers are sprayed ones), and my cute little black spiders from my stash.

You can find most of these supplies over at Flamingo Scraps!!
