Haunted Mansion
As the weather turns cooler and the leaves begin to change where I live, it's time to think about Halloween, and designing a new haunted house.
This year I was inspired by several Tim Holtz products – the 2016 8x8 paper stash, "Materialize", the "Rickety House" die, and the Halloween-themed Idea-ology products.
The "Rickety House" die was the jumping off point for my house design. I took inspiration from the porches, the many windows and the roof design. As is the case with most of my designs, this house is built around a secret compartment – but more on that part later. The house is entirely made of chipboard and paper.
The house uses different types of lighting. There are three LED tea lights – two in the dormer windows and one in the front entrance. Windows on three sides of the house and the square tower are illuminated with strings of tiny LED lights.
