Day 5 - 31 Days of Halloween

Hello, all! Day five of the 31 Days of Halloween! Are you getting tired of me yet? Lol. Today's project uses a recycled item; a pretzel tin left over from Christmas, to be exact. I knew I didn't want to throw it out because it was a sturdy tin and the pretzels inside had been sealed in a bag which kept the inside clean.

Pretzel Tin.

Happy Haunting Tin. For this tin, I used My Mind's Eye The Spider's Web Paper Collection to cover the tin. The crow is from Dusty Attic that I inked with Black Soot Distress Ink. I also added a Stickles Eye for the crow in Christmas Red. The text stamp I used is from my stash and I remember paying about a dollar for it at Big Lots. The flowers are various white flowers I had that I misted with a combination of Hag Wart Orange mist from Lindy's Stamp Gang and Shimmerz Terra Cotta mist.

Happy Haunting Tin. Here is another view of the tin so you can see the sides.

And don't forget, during the month of August the DT members at Scraps of Darkness used some gorgeous papers from the Robin's Nest and we are so happy to announce that the Robin's Nest is doing a series of blog posts featuring Scraps of Darkness layouts created by the Design Team. Every Wednesday they will feature different DT members. I would love for you to check it out!! Click here to visit The Robin's Nest!!
