A metal bat (a junque shop find) colored with alcohol ink and distress ink shows off his wingspan by hovering over the corner of the box. The Tim Holtz ticket as well as the witch were stamped on dominoes. The sign says "Witches Castle 1 mile Trespassers will be Melted". Between the sign and the witch is a puddle of wax aka a trespasser.
The box on the top right is from The Toymaker.com where you can download a variety of fun Halloween items. Several of the images in this section are from a collage sheet by Itkupilli. For the grungy bottle, I took a clear bottle, swirled alcohol ink in it then used matte multi medium on the outside to tone down the shine. The top was wrapped with fibers and dipped in beeswax. The label from Love Manor is for a life renewal potion.
The creepy doll face from Digital Collage Images has been mounted on a cracked optical lense. The clock was a tiny brass clock that no longer worked so was distressed with acrylic paints and given a new purpose.
The cabinet cards, cauldron, and birds in the trees images are from Seneca Pond Crafts.
Tombstones are from Inka's Etsy shop Altered Artifacts. The fence is by Jolee's and has been covered with crackle paint and distress stain.
The outside of the box which I failed to take a picture of was covered with crackle paint, chipped off in places then covered with distress stain. When that was dry, I sealed it with Claudine Hellmuth's Studio brand multi-medium matte. It ended up with a nice chippy, grungy look.
I didn't list all of the sources of the papers and items I used. If you have a question or want to know where I came up with some of these items, please email me. You can find my email link on the sidebar. If you are still reading this, thank you!
