This fun shaped glass bottle came from Michaels craft store for just .99 cents - a bargain :O)

Using the Moonlight Level 2 Paper Pack,  I cut a scalloped edge border using the CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridge out of black cardstock and wrapped it around the bottle, then added a strip of the Goldrush patterned paper & on top of those a piece of the Silver Shimmer Trim
Then using the C1509 Magic Potions stamp set I stamped the 'Extract of Eel' image.
The striped banner piece behind the flower is one of the Moonlight dimensional elements  & the flower was cut using the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge.

And the Extract of Eel inside the bottle ???? Orange sugar sprinkles from the baking dept :O)

Hope you like it as much as I do - Love Sara x

I loved these glass test tubes which I purchased from Amazon.com - they were 6" tall.
I knew I wanted to fill them with fun treats
- so the one on the left had chocolate covered raisins which looked like they could be Pickled Toad -
& the one on the right was filled with Wilton 'eye's from the baking section at our local store
 - perfect for Eye of Owl.

I have to confess to making the display boxes from scratch and have no dimensions to give you :O(
But the cool labels were cut using the CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridge and used the stamp set C1509 - Magic Potions.  I used Bitty Sparkles on the labels for a sparkly touch.

The owl paper from the Moonlight Level 2 Paper Pack was just perfect for this project and I cut bands of Black cardstock and then Smokey plum cardstock which I scalloped the edge using the Corner Rounder with the guide removed. A band of Silver Shimmer Trim completed the center section.

I used the Just Blooms Paradise Collection with a CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut flower layered on top with the centers filled with Silver Glitz Gel Glue (AKA Squidgey Stuff if you took my class).

Hope you love my Spooky test tubes as much as I do - Love Sara x

Moonlight Halloween Mini Banner from Extravaganza

Here is a totally spooky Halloween My Creations Mini Banner which I made for my class at Extravaganza this year.
 I fan folded 3 circles cut using the 2" scalloped punch and made them into the rosettes beneath each of the letters and added a circle cut using our 1 1/4" punch.
The owl was cut using the new CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridge from the Black, Smokey Plum and Whisper cardstock which comes in the level 2 paper pack - I then added more 'feathers'  - to make him look fluffier -by cutting a paper flower from the Just Blooms Paradise Collection into pieces. 
Black sparkles added a fun touch to his eyes along with the eyes of the punpkins.
 I added the Dimensional elements behind the rosettes and added lots of liquid glass to add a glossy surface to areas of most of them.

Finally I threaded the new Black Tulle Ribbon through the banner pieces and tied in a bow at each end.

I love the way it looks - hope you like it too  - Love Sara x
