A few details before I get to my project during the duration of the hop there will be a sale at SVG Attic, just type in the coupon code SVGHOP to get 30% your entire purchase. There is a challenge going on over at the SVG Attic blog right now too, all you have to do is create a Kooky Spooky Project using at least one SVG Attic element and link it up. Check out all the details and link up your project here. Also there will be one grand prize winner of a $30 gift card from comments during the hop so be sure to check out the details over at the SVG Attic Blog. AND Jessica has given each of the design team girls $10 gift cards to giveaway on our blogs so be sure to keep reading for the details.
"Details, details, details, just get on with the project already!" Ok ok here you go:
Well what do you think? Isn't he/she cute, I can't decide if it's a Mr. or Mrs. Frankenstein...anyway on to the project details, I know here I go again with more details :) I used the Spooky Treat Baskets set for this CANDLE! I know you weren't expecting a candle were you, hehe.
So I am sure you can tell it's not paper, but it is vinyl! I have been wanting to do this since I saw this awesome set of SVGs and I could not be happier with it. I started out by making a green butter pecan scented candle in a mason jar I just emptied out of our fridge (yea that timing couldn't have been more perfect). Then I just cut out the face parts of the spooky basket using black, white, and silver vinyl. The eyes were originally vinyl but those cute googly eyes were starring at me from their desktop container screaming to be put on Mr./Mrs. Frankenstein. So do the eyelashes make it a Mrs.? I am so easily taken off track...I finished the candle off with a little black and white twine. Wanna see it lit in the dark? It's really cool looking in person.
The bottom of the candle actually glows a really cool dark redish color while the top glows that awesome lime green! Can you tell I really like my new candle? :) Ok one last look before you head off to the next stop!
If you enjoyed my cute little Mrs. Frankenstein (I decided just now finally) then leave me some love. And if you'd like to just chime in on my fantastically pointless gender discussion about my candle, feel free to leave some love as well. Head over to facebook and become a fan of the Crafty Rocket Science page, if you haven't already, after you leave me some love and at the end of the hop I will draw one winner from all the comments and likes on facebook to receive the $10 SVG Attic gift card. Be sure to stop back tomorrow when there will be another project for the hop and the My Thoughts Exactly stamp release! Trust me you don't want to miss it!
