31 days of Halloween day 27

Welcome to day 27 of the 31 days of Halloween organized by Smeared and Smudged,
blogroll is in the side bar.
I am also a Cryptkeeper in the Halloween countdown 2013, for the complete list of 192 Cryptkeepers joining the countdown to Halloween, see link here

today a project made for Domino Art blog, I made a shadow box.

the box was an altered teabox I had used before (I sorta altered my own art lol) it had crackle on it allready but wanted to change that. I covered the crackle on all sides using Deco Arts  Metallic Lustres ( black shimmer, copper kettle and goldrush)

The top of the box was damaged, so covered it with a layer of black cardstock. Then used a nestabillitie die to cut out the shape. 
The Skull is a digital image by Rick St. Dennis it's called "born to raise hell"(can't find it in the Zibbet shop but there are over 600 other images there, and maybe this one will show up too). It was coloured using pencils, then fussy cut and glued to the die. I added red glitter glue to the edges.
Then I embossed the remains of the card were the square was cut out of, I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder for that. Glued the embossed carstock on the edges of the lit and used the Metallic Lustres to get the same colour as the sides of the box. glued the die cut with the image on.

The inside of the box was painted using Deco Arts Americana acrylic paint, colours lamp black and true red. Used Deco Arts Weathered Wood  crackle medium on top of the layer black, let dry and added the red top layer.

The goodies inside:

a plastic skull also put some metallic lustre on it, the axe  and the skull coin are my sons toys (they were stored in the cellar for a few years now and it was time to clean up a bit LOL, luckely he asks me first if i need anything before he throws them away LOL)

behind the skulls are Tarot cards (death of course) and the playing card ace of spades (also the card of death), There are some dominoes and letter dice inside (spelling death and skull)

in the small cubbies there are skullies, small poison bottels filled with glitter glue, a scary doll, and two stamped dominoes, first coloured  them using alcohol ink.

there's also a small pumpkin and a crystal ball, made out of a marble and buttons.

There is also a bingo number and some scrabble tiles spelling BOO


lots of pics: first products used
