My post for today is:
A little more Halloween fun, that uses more Glue Dots than you think.
MATERIALS:
Prismacolor Pencils in Imperial Violet, Copenhagen Blue, Cool Grey 30%, Cool Grey 20%, White, Black, Metallic Silver, Chartruese, Neon Green, Orange, Dark Brown, Yellow Ochre
Black Twine
Black Embroidery Floss
Tapestry Needle
Small, Die Cut Skull  (I used my Silhouette to cut a file I purchased from their store)
Black Card Stock
White Card Stock Base
Craft Knife
Heat Gun
Nonstick Craft Sheet

DIRECTIONS:
1)  Stamp the image on Mixed Media Paper
2)  Color the image with pencils.  The background was colored first with Imperial Purple for the top and Copenhagen Blue for the bottom.   Then, it was burnished with Cool Grey 30%.  The crow was colored with Black first and then burnished on parts with Metallic Silver.  His beak is Yelllow Ochre.  The skull was Black and Cool Grey 20% and burnished with white.  The leaves were Orange, Neon Green, Chartruese and Dark Brown.
3)  Use the tapestry needle to poke a hole in the top of the die cut skull.
4)  Use the Removable Glue Dots to adhere the die cut skull to the craft sheet.  (Otherwise, the little skull will get blown all over the place when you try to heat emboss it.)
5)  Tap the skull with Clear Embossing Ink.
6)  Cover with Opaque White Embossing Powder.
7)  Carefully remove the skull with the craft knife and move it to another location on the craft sheet, gently shaking it to remove any excess powder.
8)  Heat emboss the powder.
9)  Repeat steps 5-8.
10)  Cut the twine into two pieces and adhere one end of each piece around the back of the project with Craft Glue Dots.
11)  Adhere the image to the black card stock.
12)  Apply one Craft Glue Dot under the area where the bow will be and press the twine into it, leaving a 3-4 inch length of twine on either side.
13)  Tie the twine into a knot.
14)  Remove the skull from the craft sheet and use the tapestry needle to thread it onto a small piece of embroidery floss.
15)  Tie the embroidery floss around the knot.
16)  Tie the twine into a bow.
17)  Place Mini Glue Dots in several spots under the bow and twine to attach to the background and press down.
18)  Use Mini Glue dots to press the skull down onto the background.

19)  Attach the card top to the base with Glue Dots.

Just comment on both company blogs and all the design team posts for our hop with Glue Dots. Commenting is open until Sunday, November 1st at 11:59 pm and winners will be announced sometime on Monday, November 2nd. See Official Contest Rules.
Here is my post for today:
Materials:
Stampendous Pumpkin Cat Rubber Stamp RS-R232
Mixed Media White Paper
Aged Black Embossing Enamel
Lime Micro Glitter
Glue Dots Mini Dots
Glue Dots Craft Dots
Stazon Black Ink
Tombow Dual Marker #606
Water Brush
Prismacolor Pencils in Jasmine, White, Canary Yellow, Orange, Neon Orange, Pale Vermillion, Neon Green, and Marine Green
Core'dinations Card Stock
Black Embroidery Floss
Non Stick Craft Mat
Heat Gun
Scissors
Craft Knife

Directions:
1)  Stamp on the mixed media paper and let dry.
2)  Color the background using the Tombow Dual Markers and water brush.  Let dry.
3)  Color the pumpkin, moon and cat eyes with Prismacolor Pencils.
4)  Use the Craft Glue Dots to adhere to the orange card stock.

5)  Adhere Craft Glue Dots along the edge of the stamped image.  I found the easiest way to do this is to place the dispenser where you want the dot and wiggle it back and forth a couple of times before you remove it.  
6)  Count the dots you laid down in step 5.  This is how many "spiders" you need.
7)  Cut a 12" piece of the embroidery floss and remove 2 strands of the 6.

8)  Lay the floss on the craft sheet and place Mini Glue Dots over the top of the floss at about 1/2" intervals, starting about 1/4" from the end.
9)  Cover the first Glue Dot with a good deal of Aged Black Embossing Enamel.

10)  Press the embossing enamel into the Glue Dot.  Brush the excess down to the second dot.  Repeat until all the dots are covered in powder.

11)  Heat emboss the powder on the Glue Dots.

 12)  Cut the embroidery floss between the Glue Dots.
13)  Using the craft knife, remove the "spiders" from the craft sheet and place carefully in the centers of the Craft Glue Dots.

 14)  Use the craft knife to seperate the thread "legs" and press them into position on the larger Glue Dots.

 15)  Cover the Glue Dots with Lime Micro Glitter, press in gently and brush off the excess.

16)  Use the craft knife to gently scrape off any glitter that may have stuck to the bodies of the spiders.
