Haunted Halloween House Steampunk Style

Well it's the weekend before Halloween and I'm getting a few last minute projects finished! Today I have a cute little haunted house to share with you, made using Eileen Hull's House Ornament Die and a whole bunch of Tim Holtz's new Halloween Dies. I think it's great fun and you can put a little battery operated tea light inside.

Those ghosts make me laugh!

It looks really cool lit up too:

I had a random wood spool in my stash that I used as a base:

Did I mention that these ghosts crack me up? =)

I love the look of the Foundry embossed house. Doesn't it look like real metal?? I put foil tape over matboard and ran it through my Big Shot. Black paint rubbed into the details and then wiped off really shows off the design.

One tip for putting the house together. I cut off both of the bottom flaps from the house side parts. Usually you just cut off one and then the other one forms the bottom of your house ornament but I wanted it to be able to sit on top of a tea light.

Thanks for stopping by!

You'll just have to answer a few simple questions when asking to join (to keep out spammers) and then you'll be added. ;-)

I am entering this into the October Vintage Journey challenge, Inky Wings. I have lovely bats flying around and I used ink to distress the various little diecuts AND I'm also entering this into The Funkie Junkie Boutique It Looks Real Challenge because it looks like the house is made of metal but it is really matboard with foil tape embossed in a 3-D folder. (I think that is a run on sentence, oops.) And last but not least, I have to enter my little steampunk haunted house into the SanDee & amelie's October Steampunk Challenge.
