Haunted Tealight Tutorial

This was frightfully simple to make, "Spooky Silhouettes" indeed! I posted this project during our release party and there was enough interest to create a special tutorial to share with you...

For this project you need:
black CS and ink
vellum (paper, not CS)
Scor-Pal
SU! Tag punch
Fiskars Threading Water Punch
Mono-Multi
tealight candle
scary BOLD stamps! (see link above) :)
Score your 3" x 8 1/2" piece of CS at 2, 4, 6, and 8 inches. Cut off 1/4" of the smallest section at the end.
Punch out a tag from scratch paper and use a bit of adhesive to stick it in the center of each scored section (about 3/8" up, leaving more room at the top for you to punch off the scalloped edge). Insert the CS into your punch with it face up, lining it up with the punched tag and punch. Repeat on each section until you have four windows.
Use the threading water punch across the larger top edge to make a scalloped top (like a castle?) Decorative scissors work too, but the holes from this punch in each scallop add so much more interest and allow light to peep through. Sorry so blurry, but see how there's green showing through on either side of the punch, it shows exactly where to line up your holes, perfect every time!

Stamp the four bold images from "Spooky Silhouettes" onto your vellum paper and trim so that the image will be centered in each window. Make sure you leave them bigger than the window so you have room to adhere them. Check each image behind the window to see how you would like to frame them instead of just centering, they are a little taller than the punch and you may want the top (scarecrow's head) or bottom of the image (fire under the cauldron) to show and not mind the other part being underneath.Stamp the four bold images from "Spooky Silhouettes" onto your vellum paper and trim so that the image will be centered in each window. make sure you leave them bigger than the window so you have room to adhere them. Draw a little strip of Mono-Multi around each window on one side and add your stamped vellum vignettes. This will be the inside.
Now fold all scored lines and attach the end strip to the other side with more Mono-Multi or Scor-Tape. I love how unlit the vellum looks just like frosted glass.

Add your tealight inside and carefully light. Isn't that crazy how much it looks like the sun's rising or setting behind those fabulous images? Spoooooooooooooooky!!! Crawl under covers and eat candy corn while you tell ghost stories and watch the light flicker and dance! (Don't be afraid, they're only stamps) :)
