Haunted Design House time in the Cubby Hole. This week the challenge is "Pirate's Booty". Teri over at
Delicious Doodles has a new image which is just right for this challenge,
Zombie Pirate. Infact Glo has used this image in her project as well as Pirate Polly. I had intended doing a piece using the same images, and had already prepared them. Then changed my mind this afternoon. I'm so glad because I'd have hated to look like I was copying. These were the images I had all ready
My project turned into something completly different :)
Take one box, a handful of wooden lolly sticks, distress ink and a knife and what do I get....
The clasp and hinge had to come off and be re-atttached of course. and yes it can still be opened. The lights not the best but you get the idea.
The "metal bindings" are a sizzlit die cut from pearlised gold card. A pirates treasure chest - just right for storing that booty plundered on the high seas.
My chest is also decorated with a
skull and crossbones, also from Delicious Doodles. Six layers cut and layered up with pinflair before coating with UTEE.
and just to show the back as well.
There we have it peeps
I am entering this into the challenge over at
Haunted Design House - Pirate's Booty
Divas By Design - Anything but a card

Whoa! this is soooo FABULOUS! Love how you did his eye and of course, the dimensional skully. What's pinflair? Is that what I need to layer before coating? I sooo wanna try that. Thanks for joining us again for MM at HDH. xxD
