Candlelight Fright Halloween Decor

Created these Halloween decorations using Tim Holtz Vagabond, Candlelight Fright die, chipboard, inks & sander.

Used black chipboard and discovered I can cut up to 3 of these at one time on the Tim Holtz Vagabond. I taped the chipboard down to the sides of the die so the pieces would not shift when going thru the machine. Cut layers out of Tim Holtz core'dinations Pumice Stone for the candles & Scattered Straw for the candle flames.

Used Tim Holtz Distress Ink black soot & Dabber Gold. 

Used Tim Holtz sander on the layers.

The pieces are 4 3/4" height. They are flat chipboard with paper & inking embellishing. They stand up using a piece of cardboard attached to the back. There are 3 of the pieces. 

Photographed with a background of Trick or Treat paper, yellow cardstock & pumpkins glowing framing to put you in the Halloween frame of mind.
