Howzit Everyone!
I'm a bit behind with sharing all the projects I've been making lately because it's crazy hector here in blogland with the massive month long, seventh annual, 31 Days of Halloween blog hop hosted by Smeared Ink. It is also my other blog, DominoART's 5th annual 31 Days of Halloween Scarefest, and we participate in the hop as a Wicked Blogger, as well as Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where we, the Lost Coast Designs DT, are doing the hop for the first time this year! That means I'm writing 2 posts per day for 31 days straight as well as hopping and commenting on 30+ blogs every day...phew, I'm exhausted just telling you about it LOL, but I'm loving every second of it ;0)
Anyway, I'll be playing catch up this week but here's today's share, my Day 19 project for Lost Coast Portal to Creativity. I made a spooktacular Halloween Luminary featuring stamps from Carmen's Veranda, Halloween Background and Flying Skull.
YAY!

YAY!
I'm
really pleased with how it turned out. The glow is so pretty and look
at the cool pattern it casts on the wall in the photo below ;0)
I love working with faux stained glass effects and this one came together nicely. The luminary is quite large, measuring at 5.25" square and 6.75" high. I've got a tall 3" wide flameless candle in there but you can easily create a candlescape with a few in varying sizes. The photos above show the luminary with a white paper insert acting as a light diffuser and the last photo shows it without for more of a stained glass effect. In the photos below you can see how pretty it is in daylight too. I stamped 4 panels of clear artist's overlay acetate with the Carmen's Veranda Halloween image in jet black StazOn ink and applied Watermelon and Sunshine Yellow Ranger Adirondack Brights Alcohol Ink with an ink applicator. I designed the cardstock frame to fit the stamp perfectly, cut eight window panels with an Xacto knife and stamped them all with CV's Flying Skull in Brilliance Pearlescent Purple ink. Even in the dark the pearlescent ink glows too. The frame folds were scored on a scoreboard and the acetate panels adhered to the inside of the four front facing windows and the remaining four were added to the inside for additional stability and to make the inside look just as gorgeous as the outside.
