happy haunting


I shared this little treat box over on the Stampavie blog earlier this week, but I didn't get the chance to post it on my blog until today.  I can’t believe how quickly this year is flying by.  Halloween is almost upon us already.  I had the chance to play on Monday with another of Tina Wenke’s Halloween images.  This adorable image is called Halloween Critters.

I created a wrap for a little box and filled it with some Halloween candy.  It makes for a quick little gift idea for someone special on Halloween.  I used one of the pinstripe kraft boxes from my etsy store


I colored my image with copic markers.  Then, I added a white mat and a black mat.  I wrapped some patterned paper from Echo Park around my box, added some black wrinkle ribbon, and my image.  Then, I tied a bow,  and added a button and a white mini tag to finish off my gift box.  (The black wrinkle ribbon and mini white tag are also from my etsy store.)



I filled a bag some candy corn, tied a bow around the top, and put it inside my little gift box.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Niki
