31 Days of Halloween - #21 - A Candy Cone

Smeared & Smudged
31 Days of Halloween
Day 21
 
A Candy Cone just for you!

 
This cone started off life holding the thin yarn used to make pot holders...  a friend of mine knits (or crochets) them to sell at the town wide garage sale every year so she ends up with loads of these wicked cones.  They are PERFECT for making gift/treat cones so she saves them for me :)
 

 
I started off by painting the cone with Distress Paints then I sprinkled the whole thing with Rock Candy Glitter (mmmm love that stuff!).  I stamped the sentiment (Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous)on white cardstock then crinkled, inked and stickled it till it looked just like I wanted it to.
 
The little girl and pumpkins are from various Altered Pages collage sheets.  I free-hand cut her witch hat and added a band of stickles glitter glue.  I then added a faux crystal swag hanging from the bottom, some mercury silver garland paired with the ball trim around the edge of the cone and finally a tinsel pipe cleaner for the handle.

 
 
Fun Fun Fun!
