Congratulations and Best Witches to Bella Crafts Quarterly who is turning ONE this month! I was invited to play along the Bella Crafts Quarterly birthday blog hop and you are all invited to celebrate with Bella Crafts Quarterly.
Bella Crafts Quarterly™ would like to thank our sponsors:
I used this great stash of supplies to create a spooky Halloween shadow box to help decorate my home for October!
The frame was misted with Tattered Angels inks and dried first.
Then I sprayed Aleene’s Tacky Spray glue from iLoveToCreate through a stencil and added Tulip glitter for the distressed diamond pattern. You can see how well that pattern shows up above on the scrolled frame.
To create the background, I was honestly surprised by how easily the Rowlux® film was to cut. I cut it with the paper trimmer as well as cut and embossed the moon with the Spellbinders dies and Enhancing Elements. You can see the embossing in the moon image above, but it shows even better in person. The unique reflections of the Rowlux® film added a really great effect for my Halloween shadow box. The Rowlux film also also took the ink and embossing quite well. I embossed all the images on the Rowlux using Wow! Embossing Powders.
Don’t miss the glow-in the dark eyes in the bottom right corner, either! Love these and put them everywhere for Halloween. I used these on my Hallowed Home canvas and wreath from last year. They are gooey and everything sticks to them, but that adds to their charm, right? I shared this on my Instagram feed. If we aren’t connected on Instagram yet, just friend me!
All the products worked so well together, they were a perfect combination to create this Trick or Treat Shadow box. It will look good in my foyer.

Great color combinations. The added glow eyes are a real hoot.
Love how the purple Rowlux looks like wind, very cool!
Thanks, Lisa. The Rowlux definitely has some unique characteristics to it, doesn’t it? It was fun to think of different ways we could use it.
Really Great project. I love it!!
Thank you, Kristi!
Love this creative Shadow Box….thanks for being part of our celebration!
Thanks for including me in the hop, Ann. It was so much fun.
Cheryl this is cool and I still remember what you taught me about spraying techniques. Yay teacher 🙂
You are so sweet, Eileen! I’m glad you remembered how to use your sprays. I still use your dies too, but I need to post them more. 😉
Now THAT is a work of art. And those glow in the dark eyes freak me out in the best possible way.
Thanks so much, Jonathan! I’m glad you like those eyes, they are so cool in person. Loved your Elton John Fong glasses, too.
Cheryl, I love your shadowbox. It’s spooktacular. Great idea using the Rowlux for the moon…and I just love those creepy eyes. Thank you so much for donating your time and talent to Bella Crafts Quarterly’s birthday celebration.
