Distress Stickles (CCC #10)

Lots going on in my life this week...hosting a large tag swap on the EWV Yahoo group, funeral, getting ready for company and life in general...you know, usual stuff.  LOL 

Stickles are a wonderful invention...no more loose glitter to wear in public!  But Distress Stickles (DS)?  Oh man, they are 'da bomb'!  I was so happy Linda picked this for the Compendium challenge.  This piece is pretty self-explanatory.  The chipboard ghost (distressed edges) and black cat are both Sizzix dies.  The black cat is sporting Black Soot DS.  The spiderweb in back (Cuttlebug) glistens with Rock Candy DS while the pumpkin (Wendy Vecchi flower stamp - Lower Case Art) is sporting several colors of distress ink and stickles (Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade and Antique Bronze).  The leaves are dressed with Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint DI and DS then curled for dimension. 

Believe (Just Word Art) was stamped in black archival ink.  Tim's ticket was distressed with browns and oranges as was the patterned paper (also wrinkled).  The bingo piece is Maya Road.  Cool spider, huh?  It was a paper clip and I've been waiting to use this on just the right project.  Bingo!

  7. Susan, this is absolutely magical! I love every single detail of your sweet Halloween tag, from the colors to the die cuts to the "believe" stamp-- and of course, the Distress Stickles and the perfect bling they provide. And let's just talk about that paper clip spider! HOW COOL!!! This makes me want to decorate for fall right now.
