Grand Finale of 31 Days of Halloween
Wicked Wonderland
Altered Tin and 16 Panels
by Leigh
I'm back for the grand finale of our 31 Days of Halloween SPOOKtivities!
I've shared a total of 16 panels throughout CRAFTober featuring designs from my new Wicked Wonderland Halloween Collection.
If you'd like to see all the panels in detail then start your adventure into Wicked Wonderland HERE on Oct 9th. To see mine and Val's Halloween makes then start HERE on Oct 1st.
Now for my grand finale reveal of the wicked awesome ornate tin I've altered to store all my panels in.
Here's my Wicked Wonderland altered tin with all 16 panels.
The panels are all quite dimensional but they all do fit into the tin, the top 2 panels sit inside the lid when it's closed.
Here's the stack of panels.
The tin I altered is this awesome After Eight chocolate tin I've had in my stash forever just waiting for me to release Wicked Wonderland....I've wanted to do this collection for quite awhile now.
I painted the entire outside of the tin with Finnabair black gesso paint leaving just the gold of the lid rim and the rim along the bottom edge of the base. I then painted the lid with a combo of orange and yellow acrylic paint and drybrushed vintage gold acrylic paint to enhance the paint texture and pick up on the gold tin rims.
I covered the lid with Cherry Lynn and Tim Holtz spiderweb die cuts in black cardstock adhered with matte Distress Collage Medium. My Wicked Wonderland Keyhole and Wicked Alice adorn the tin lid.
I used the Tim Holtz Alphanumeric Tiny Type Upper case dies to die cut the "31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN" and the "2025" out of textured green cardstock and used collage medium to adhere those to the tin too.
I gave the digi images lots of magical sparkle with a clear Spectrum Noir glitter brush pen and also painted Alice's eyes and added lots of little details to the scene with glow-in-the-dark paint.
I decorated the sides of the tin with Graphic 45 diamond patterned paper from the Curiouser and Curiouser collection.
I edged both the top and bottom edges of the paper panel with gold and copper metallic border stickers to pick up on the gold tin rims as well as the orange painted lid.
I adhered the "Wicked Wonderland" Arrow Signs from the Wicked Arrow Signs set of 18 fun Wonderland and Halloween themed signs and sentiments.
The inside of the tin is a BOOtiful shiny gold which I left intact and adhered a panel scene inside the lid featuring Mad Hatter Wicked Alice and the Furness Forest Wicked Alice Keyhole.
"Let me tell you a story"
Lost In Wonderland chunky chipboard sticker by Prima Marketing.
I also decorated the inside bottom of the tin with another panel featuring "Eat of Drink" Wicked Alice, images from the Falling Wicked Alice collage as well as the "We're All Mad Here" Arrow Sign from the Wicked Arrow Signs set of 18 fun Wonderland and Halloween themed signs and sentiments.
The outside back of the tin is also decorated with another panel and will feature this year's 31 Days of Halloween badge!
Of course my printer had to run out of yellow ink just as I tried to print it and the lime green came out olive, so I'm waiting for the ink to be delivered.
It's now time to get ready for this year's viewing of my faves, Hocus Pocus and The Nightmare Before Christmas!
Thanks for joining us for our 15th annual SPOOKtivities this CRAFTober and a big THANK YOU to Val for all her faBOOlous 31 Days of Halloween makes!
We will see again for our annual Half-o-Ween in May celebrations in 2026 and of course mark your calendars for our 16th annual 31 Days of Halloween SPOOKtivites....it will be here before you can scream...with delight!
Wishing you all a safe and SPOOKtacular
HALLOWEEN night!
