Forest Fairy Lantern

Hello creative friends !

I'm a big fan of lanterns in all shapes, colours and sizes.

They're great for providing light and warmth, especially during the dark season.

Recently, I've been inspired by the forest as magic theme a lot. I designed a forest fairy lantern with interior decoration. It was really fun for me to use small chipboards in a completely new way. I used the tropical leaves as a shelf (in the real side door) as well as for a small chair.

Have you also found exciting ways to use these inspiring chipboards?

Halloween mystic Centerpiece

Hello!

A lonely hiker had missed the right path, so it had become dark in the forest in the meantime.

Luckily, he discovered a promising sign in the light of the full moon.

Would he be brave enough to stop there?

I created a little centerpiece suitable to a Halloween Dinner.

Ein einsamer Wanderer hatte den richtigen Weg verfehlt und inzwischen war es im Wald dunkel geworden. Zum Glück entdeckte er im Licht des Vollmondes ein vielversprechendes Zeichen.

Wäre er mutig genug, hier einzukehren?

Ich habe ein kleines Herzstück geschaffen, das zu einem Halloween-Dinner passt.

I used a broken wooden disc as a stand. I attached the dead tree to it by folding over the root piece. Besides I glued on pieces of moss, wooden branches and toadstool chippies to give the tree support. I dry embossed the old tree again with a 3D folder to give it a natural wood texture. My favourite Halloween chipboard is the moon. It's great engraved. The scribble frame with witch's hat and broom float freely on a chain.

Halloween Special Hexenküche- Spooky Delights

Hello creative friends!

Witches Brew - Drink at your own risk!!

Do you remember the amazing altered book 'Tavern of the Last Bite to Eat'?

Today we're going to take a look behind the scenes, which means we're in the realm of the kitchen fairy! Here our little witch is whirling and creating new magical recipes for the The ultimate drink! These are scary recipes that will keep you up all night. There is a great interest in being able to make the most of the day 24/7, always wide awake and alert, which is what many people want.

I designed an amazing shadow frame in mixed media art

with a touch of steampunk and a good portion of magic!

I used a part of the Rustic Charm Frame set on the right outer edge. The central part is the Vintage dresser with mirror, an amazing piece in 3D optics! I split the whole thing up and used the upper part as a mirror, which I then added a shelf to from leftover pieces. The lower cupboard was given a used wooden look with crackle varnish – it looks incredible!

I also added a shelf at the top. This allowed me to add small accessories such as bottles of magic ingredients, herbs and the like.

Stand Back - I'm cooking

Hello creative friends!

I'm cooking

Another tag, as gift idea for a good friend, it now decorates her kitchen. There's a cut-out witch's hat glued to the top, and the witch is of course cooking under a full moon. If you look closely at the hat, you can see that the grim reaper is on his way, and the cat in the lower corner seems also to be quite sceptical. So be careful!
