Description
Ooh! It's time for some Halloween projects! This kit started with some sketches of Paris cemetery tombs that became the 3 chipboard Miniature Reliquaries in the kit (note: there are some larger tombs being announced this month, too). There are also 3 collage sheets, with images from spooky skeletons to sweet Man in the Moon illustrations (and 7 scrapbook papers as backgrounds).
Back to this kit, let's start with Miniature Reliquaries: 3 ATC-sized chipboard shapes (each is 2 pieces: a solid back and a matching shaped overlay/frame). The one with a round niche at the top will fit an 18mm cabochon.
Next up in this kit are 3 collage sheets:
- New How Sweet the Moon. Aw... these are sweet indeed! Vintage images, mainly from postcards, of the smiling Man in the Moon, along with cats, owls, sweethearts, and pumpkin-headed children? Note: the smaller silhouetted images are sized to fit 18mm cabochons (the same size as the round inset in the top of one of the Miniature Reliquaries).
- New Romantic Victorian Halloween Women Collage Sheet. Not just for Halloween, but these lovely ladies would make a good image to frame in an ATC or a Miniature Reliquary.
- Skeleton Slide Mailers Collage Sheet. Skeletons (some dressed in 19th century clothing, some from Renaissance Memento Mori paintings), sized for 2-slide Slide Mailers (3" x 3-3/4" so ample room to use on ATCs or on the new Miniature Reliquaries.
Lastly, SEVEN (!) scrapbook papers! I went looking for stone and faded wallpaper patterns that would be good as backgrounds. Note: the 7 papers in the kit are 6" x 6". More than ample for a Miniature Reliquary. And if you fall in love with a pattern, you can buy a full 12" x 12" sheet. There's a photo of all the papers together below... just past the 2 art samples.
