Happy Hump Day, hoppers :-) This weeks challenge was to use Martha Stewart's coffin treat box template and Bombshell it. I had the simple idea idea of making a black coffin with a pink, brocade velvet lining. Easy enough. Then I made the coffin inside out...OOPS... and ended up with a very cute pink fuzzy coffin. Um... now what? For starters, it didn't scream Halloween or Day of the Dead, in fact, it was glam - like a Kiss coffin.
Okay, maybe not that glam.
Then I got thinking about the current Embellish Magazine Challenge and how much I loved how one of the Bombshell girls (whoever you are, you ROCK!) colored an image in black and white. A plan was hatched!
This treat box features Mi Amor one of the new stamp sets from the Sugar Skull Release.

I love pink and this is just a gorgeous coffin. Who wouldn't want to be buried in that!
Very cool. I love that it's pink.
A pink Coffin! I love it! A very cool treat box for anytime. Love the gems, Senora!!!
When you said the outside was pink and fuzzy, I hadn't pictured this. In fact, what I pictured was rather horrific, and not in a good way.
On the other hand, this is totally fabulous! I love the pink coffin and the rhinestone edging.
Señora Muerta looks amazing in grayscale.
Fabulous take on the coffin challenge!

Love how you turned an "Oops" into such a great project. "When you stumble, make it part of the dance."
Awesome job! Like the bling!!
If I were to be a vampiress and live in a coffin this iswhat I would want it to look like. Im not much of a pink type gal but this is just so fun. I love the texture of it too. Excellent.
pink flocked paper just screams coffin....lol....I love it...
Totally fabulous! Pink fuzzy coffin with ribbon & rhinestones... a dead girl's dream! How wonderfully different and truly inspiring Nicole!
