I recently purchased at a garage sale a set of take out boxes which I thought would be great treat boxes. I started with that and created a Halloween Treat box.
This is the treat box with a candy treat wrapped in tulle in the box.
I took a second photo to showcase the treat box without anything in it.
Recipe:
- Trace sides of box onto white cardstock. Cut out and repeat to get all four pieces.
- Remove top flaps from the box.
- Stamp background using an Impression Obsession Cover A Card with Adirondack Cool Peri - and Memento Pear Tart.
- Stamp Hero Arts tree and spider using black ink on purple background. Draw line using black gel pen.
- Sponge edges on all pieces using brown dye ink.
- Stamp Artistic Outpost bats onto green background using black ink.
- Trim out with brown pom poms.
- Stain seam binding using glimmer mists. Tie on handle.
- Stamp tag with Hero Arts Spider Web and Trick or Treat sentiment. Sponge edges of tag. Add ribbon.
The background was glimmer misted with a variety of the colors. Then the edges were heat embossed using golden sand - Stampendous. The stamps are all Our Daily Bread.
The image was colored with a combination of dye inks and glimmer mists.
Here is the color inspiration:
Here is the layout from ODBD
