Today I've been playing with pieces of chipboard and coffee stirrers which I picked up at Donny Dome on Sunday!!
Firstly I painted everything in carbon DA chalky paint, then a dry brushing of dolphin DA multi surface satin to give some definition and finally a dry brushing of DA dazzling metallics black pearl to give some shimmer. I painted the gold plastic studs black and then silver from the DA media range.
Then I built up my pieces to make this chest. It measures approx 11cm x 6cm x 9cm. I added a couple of straps and the studs.
And this is it open. The white specs inside are where the glue is still wet, but it will be clear when completely dry.
I wanted it to be on a Halloween theme, so I've started adding skulls, skeletons and potion bottles, but none of it is stuck down as I am hoping to pick up some other stuff at the Glasgow craft show at the weekend.
All products are from the DecoArt range and I'm also entering into their Halloween competition.

That is fantastic, I love it!
Such a cool way to use the coffee stirrers - I love your spooky trunk and can't wait to see what else you fill it with.

Fabulous creation! I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it and how it will look after you have added the new things to it. Hope you had a lovely time for your birthday and the show Karen x
