Halloween Mantel

Happy Friday! Woo hoo!
I completely forgot to post the pics of our mantel and Halloween banner yesterday, so let's just take care of that:
Note: Just excuse the photos. I could not, for the life of me, get decent shots in the family room, just not enough good lighting...

Tee hee, I just love this witch!. I saw the photo on Pinterest somewhere, and naturally had to track her down. Originally, I wanted a big, dark, creepy mirror for the mantel, but until I find exactly what I'm looking for, these decals are just perfect! Oh, and there is one very FAR away shot of the banner. Difficult to photograph an entire banner at once, don't ya know?

See the candlesticks on the mantel? I found them on a clearance shelf at Lowes, of all places, and they were originally a dark blue. A few coats of paint, and some crackle medium, and you have some old, distressed candlesticks.

Again, I know it's not a great shot, but here you can see some of the layers on the individual banner pennants. I used that fabulous Apothecary Emporium paper from Echo Park. {love}

Lots of layers= a TON of fun!
I used Spellbinders dies for the pennants, PTI's Parisian Lace doily die, and the 1 3/4" Limitless Layers dies, as well as making some medallions.
I painted, distressed, and glittered each letter, and put everything on black tulle with black distressed buttons in between each section.
Thanks for taking a look, and have a wonderful weekend!
Don't forget tonight is Papertrey Ink's release party; I hope to see you there!
Smooch!
