The Witching Hour is upon us and the Creatures of Furness Forest are waiting as Shadows of a 1000 Years rise again unseen...today is Halloween!

Day 31 of 31 Days of Halloween
Lilith Shadow Faerie Queen
ShadowBox Luminary
by Leigh

My finale make for our 12th annual 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop is another magical Shadowbox Luminary featuring Digi Stamps and SVG Cutz from this year's Shadows Rising Halloween 2022 Collection and Digi Stamps from last year's Once Upon a Nightmare Collection!
 

πŸŽƒ My two coffin shadowbox luminaries on display πŸŽƒ
 
 
The Shadow Faeries spent October conjuring their magic spells throughout the enchanted Furness Forest in preparation for All Hallows' Eve.  The Witching Hour is now upon us and the most powerful faerie of them all, the Shadow Faerie Queen herself, whispers her magic words and all the spells burst into flame filling Furness Forest with their eerie magical glow as Shadows of a 1000 Years rise!
Tonight is Halloween!
 
 
 Lilith the Shadow Faerie Queen is the star of my Shadowbox Luminary!
 I fussy cut her out using my Silhouette Cameo 4 with a narrow offset to create a halo around her.  I then printed out 2 more of just her bed of roses and another of her rose crown and fussy cut everything out to create dimensional rose layers popped up with black foam tape.  
 
 
I also printed out 3 additional spells in various sizes and coloured the Shadow Faerie scene and the spells with Prismacolor pencils and her wings and all the roses shimmer prettily with Spectrum Noir Glitter and her eye and the spells are painted with DecoColor glow-in-the-dark paint. 
 

Lilith the Shadow Faerie Queen is surrounded by a forest of trees I cut using my Silhouette Cameo 4 and layered up using the 3 stand alone trees and the forest trio from the Furness Forest Shadow Trees SVG Cutz set.
 
 
I created the star and snowfall filled skyscape background scene with Villainous Potion and Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide Sprays and printed the Furness Forest Winter Treescape on to it with the Shadows of a 1000 Years Spell combined then added the Wicked Moon and a few of Tim Holtz Mixed Media Halloween die cut bats to the scene.
 

I used the Root Border cut file by Rivka Wilkins (Silhouette Design store) as the base for each shadow tree layer mounted inside the large coffin shadowbox.  I decorated the edges of the coffin shadowbox with the spiderweb from my Gothic Nightmare Catcher SVG Cutz, which was left over from my Day 13 Gothic Nightmare Catcher make, and Cheery Lynn spiderweb die cuts which I cut in half.  I also used Flourishes in 2 sizes, also by Rivka Wilkins, the larger 2 were trimmed to create 4 separate pieces.  I applied Spectrum Noir silver gilding wax to all the pieces and used gloss glaze on the flourishes.  I embellished the top and base of the shadowbox with a gorgeous large silver metal bat and spider from Tim Holtz Idea-ology.
 
 
I drilled a hole in the back of the wooden coffin shadowbox and threaded through a set of battery operated wire dew drop lights with a pretty peachy glow to illuminate my magical shadowbox luminary.

The Witching Hour is here!
The Shadow Faerie Queen has spoken the magical words and all the spells are are now glowing throughout the enchanted Furness Forest!
Happy Halloween!

Day 7
"Mushroom Faerie Ring"
Candle Luminarie by Leigh
  
Once Upon a Nightmare...deep in the Furness Forest is an enchanted Mushroom Faerie Ring where Fae Folk play with Bats swirling around them and the Wicked Witch with her cat Hissy like to watch from the shadows....
  

On the 7th Day of our 31 Days of Halloween Hop+Challenge I'm back with a spellbinding candle luminary featuring a digi stamp and many SVG Cutz from my new Once Upon a Nightmare Collection!
 

I designed a 3 sided candle luminary in Silhouette Studio and cut my new Mushroom Faerie Ring Layered Lace SVG Cutz out of the center of each panel from black heavy weight cardstock.
 

I applied bronze and gold Spectrum Noir metallic wax to the outside of each panel, leaving the actual Mushroom Faerie Rings in black, to give the candle luminary a burnished metal look.


I then printed the Dancing Faeries from my new Fae Folk Silhouettes set 3 times onto a sheet of vellum, cut out 3 panels and adhered them to the back of each of the Mushroom Faerie Ring panels which I then covered with black square panels with circles cut out the centers to make the inside of the luminary look nice too.


I decorated the panels of the luminary with the Wicked Witch and Hissy Cat Silhouettes Layered SVG Cutz, the Fae Folk Silhouettes Layered SVG Cutz, Salem from the Black Cat Silhouettes Layered SVG Cutz and lots of Bats from the Gothic Nightmare Catcher SVG Cutz all cut from black cardstock using my Silhouette Cameo 4.  


I then poked holes through the luminary panels so all the bat eyes and the lantern held by the dwarf also glow in the candle light!
 

The finished luminary is so fun and magical especially with all the bat eyes and the dwarf lantern glowing with candle light too!
 

The faeries are having a wonderful time swirling and dancing in the glowing midnight mist while they excitedly await Halloween night!

Day 17
Cherry Blossom Geisha Doll Lantern
by Val
 
LeighSBDesigner Val's Cherry Blossom Mer-Ween Hop inspiration for you today is a gorgeous lantern featuring the following from my new Cherry Blossom Collection:
 
 
 
Val cleverly used the Cherry Blossom Pocket Digi Stamp set to create the sides for this fabulous box lantern.
 
 
 She printed out 9 Cherry Blossom Pocket elements, fussy cut them out and coloured them up in shades of pink and embellished all the flower centers with Diamond Stickles glitter.  She then used 2 pockets per side to assemble the lantern by using the fold tabs included in the pocket digi stamp design.  
 
 
 Val then made a lid for the lantern and decorated it with the 9th Cherry Blossom Pocket print which she cut in half to create the corner elements.
 
 
 Val decorated the sides of the lantern with both Geisha Dolls from the Cherry Blossom Print and Cutz sets.  She print and cut them out with the largest of the included offset borders that fussy cuts out the printed images with a narrow white border around them and coloured them up.  
 
 
 She edged the Geisha Dolls with a black marker and added one Geisha Doll to each side of the lantern.
 
 
Pop in a flameless candle and the result is a beautiful glowing Cherry Blossom lantern to enjoy in the evenings!  What a stunning make this is❤️

 
Val used the following to create this beauty:
Spectrum Noir Tri-blends:
Magenta, True Blue, Emerald, Fair Skin, Gold Brown, Ice Grey,
Alpine Green, Deep Purple, Purple and Coral
White Gel Pen 
Diamond Stickles Glitter glue
Versamark ink
Clear Embossing Powder 
Smooth white cardstock
Hobby Craft Pastels Cardstock
Black cardstock

Shop these designs and more in the MAY SALE!
 

 
Kitty and Parasol Geisha Dolls are also available as digi stamp sets:
