I have a backlog of projects to share on my blog. When I gave my hubby his choice of two different ones I could post today, he chose this one (definitely the more masculine of the two). I told him he totally picked it, just because it was masculine...
Then he told me that he'd like to see my TRY to make a feminine-looking tin full of eyeball candies. I might have to take him up on that challenge! ;) Hmph!
Anyhow...
Isn't this set fun?! This cute and spooky eyeball is another image from the Ghoulish Label Set, being released this Wednesday by MFT.
I altered a tin that I hoarded a while back (it used to hold some Maya Road goodies). Since the tin had embossed writing around the edges (the Maya Road logo and such), I decided paper wouldn't sit on it smoothly. So I found this blood-red ric-rack that I think actually works perfectly (it kind of mimics the squiggly bloodshot lines in the eyes). I wrapped it around the tin twice, overlapping the two layers slightly.
It's hard to tell in the picture, but after stamping and coloring the eyeballs, I covered them with an epoxy bubble sticker, to make them look a little more eyeball-ey. I also accented the tin with "boo" that I stamped out from the bling 'bet. Instead of embellishing the holes in the bling 'bet, I used a piercing hole to punch a hole in each one (also hard to tell in my photo).
The tin is filled with delicious eyeball gumballs (that match the eyeball image from the new set amazingly well!).
