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!

πŸ’€ Poe Gnome's Enchanted Garden πŸ’€
hex shadowbox light by Leigh
 
My Day 15 of 31 Days of Halloween Hop inspiration for you today is an enchanted hexagonal shadowbox light featuring Poe Gnome and Grim Batleigh from the SPOOKtember 2020 release and the Enchanted Garden Cobblestone Cottage.

 
 
Poe Gnome lives in an enchanted garden under a magical amethyst sky where everything is tinted purple, including Poe and his pet raven!  
 
 
Poe Gnome lives in an enchanting purple Cobblestone Cottage surrounded by tall purple trees where silver spiderwebs sparkle in the moonlight.
 
 
At night when he's writing poetry by his fire the stars twinkle with a mysterious green light!
 
 
 I had so much fun making this hexagonal shadowbox light. 


I modified a Silhouette Design Store hexagonal shadowbox cut file by Tanya Batrak and used just the shadowbox frame, tiny bat and branches.  Also from Silhouette is the grass border by Paige Evans and the fabulous spiky Halloween border by Rivka Wilkins.  Everything was cut out of black cardstock and then I painted it with Spectrum Noir Sparkle Amethyst glitter ink so everything has a lovely purple tinted shimmer.


Poe Gnome, Grim Batleigh and the Enchanted Garden Cobblestone Cottage are all coloured with a purple Prismacolor pencil and fussy cut out.  I used yellow and 2 shades of orange to the colour all the windows for a pretty firelight glow.
 
 
 
There are many weird and wonderful critters lurking in the enchanted garden so Grim Batleigh is happily flying around keeping a watchful eye on things!
 
 
 For the background I used Wilted Violet and Black Soot Distress Oxide Sprays and Black Soot Distress Stain Spray on watercolour cardstock to create a pretty twilight sky then stamped Tim's "Life of the Party" spiderweb stamp in Spectrum Noir Silver Midas ink.
 
 
Then I added drops of dimensional Delta Ceramcoat glow-in-the-dark paint.
 
 
The final touch was to install the dew drop fairy light string for a truly magical scene!

 
 That spooktacular skelly tree was a gifty from my sister which I painted with the same Distress Sprays and splattered with Tarnished Pewter Distress Stain spray.  It goes faBOOlously with my hex Poe Gnome shadowbox lightπŸŽƒ
