LeighSBDesigns 31 DOH Day 13

 During October you will see many Halloween-y projects on my blog as I am joining in with





Find Leigh's main post here

So let's celebrate Halloween!! 

As usual I will add daily retro Halloween postcards from Vintage Image Craft. 

Halloween scarecrows with jack-o'-lantern heads!!! What marvelous illustrations on this 1915 postcard set, published by the Whitney Co.




I like to share something old and something new.

Remember last year when I came across this coffin in a charity shop and painted it black.
I didn't add any embellishments.


At the same time I found a puppet - I renovated this to make it a little more 'witchy' and then put her in the coffin...
.


My new make... I decided to embellish the coffin:


First I added a set of coffin shapes cut on my Cricut. These are based on
Leigh's Slimline Nesting Coffins SVG


I added stamped spiders and drawn cobwebs on the top layer.
I then added Leigh's Graveyard - Artist Trading Coffin painted with water colours.





And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!


Happy Hopping!

    Great embellishing Susan, even if I'm not a fan of the spiders. Leigh's slimline nesting coffins were perfect for this - Kat
