A DT post for Gina's Designs " Seymour Bones"

Kathi here again to share an off the page project. In this project I used the standing dome & the haunted house mini album.



I created a grave yard using the standing dome, placed a large wooded tree behind the standing dome. I created a tomb stone out of the standing dome. I painted the dome black then layered the dome with paper from graphic 45 paper line "Steampunk Spells" I created another tomb sitting to the right & just be hind the standing dome.




The dome has beware Seymour Bone as the head stone. in front of the fence of the dome a wooded casket was placed after being painted. With Seymour Bones trying to escape from the grave.


Inside the coffin there are spiders, pumpkins, bones & moss.Barbed Wire chipboard is draped over the fence. Barbed wire is also listed in Gina's store.

I then created the mini album out of the haunted house mini available in Gina's store

Steampunk Spells Mini Album

I created this mini album using graphic 45 Steampunk Spells paper line, for the binding I used the hidden hinge (Kathy Orta)


On the cover, I cut out the Victorian lady  I added wings from Gina's Designs. Behind her I added a Tim Holtz clock hands by Gina's, The clock was distressed with distress paint, I used several colors to achieve this look. Then behind her and the clock I added an air balloon from Gina's. The gars are from Gina's, Tim Holtz & 7 gypsies. Glossy accents were added to the wings, her dress & the hot air balloon.

The clock is a Tim Hotz die cut, Hands I crow are from Gina's  I cut out using Sizzix's Dollie die,  All of This was  placed on an acetate circle. In order to place photo's behind the clock.



I used some beautiful black lace from JoAnn's lined on top with black bling.  The Die is from Tim Holtz "Bell Shaped Jar"
 A photo mat can be added behind the bell shaped jar. 



Large photo mat in each of the end pockets
