Riveting Parts

It's time for my favourite tag of the year...OCTOBER! To get the low down on Tim's October Remix pop over tho his blog for the how too. I followed all the same fun techniques.
I decided to go with the Pumpkin Parts die instead of the Monster Thinlit. I was tempted to use the Monster... But I was stuck with the thought of making a Riveting Pumpkin! BTW... the monster, vampire and zombie thinlits are vanishing after this year. So get them if you don't have them.

I love the rivets and black soot technique!

I used this metal spider charm heated it up and dropped Oil Rubbed Embossing Powder to get this bronze look. Mine was silver.

To rub the paint off I used a dry baby wipe. It was soft enough to rub off and totally dry... in my garbage.

Love the layering

Inky, crackly layered leaf and no I did not emboss it!

I love the crazing medium and the black soot crayon! So crackled! My tiny attacher was acting up and didn't want to play. Luckily I got it all working after a jammed staple.

The Twist n' Style tool is perfect for making those tendrils out of copper.

The spider gets to twist too!

The frightful ephemera is of course awesome as a background! I added a twisted edge along the bottom too. I didn't think I would overly like that die cut. I was wrong!

I really, really, really love the layering of ephemera and crackle. I need to do this more! Thanks for creeping by. Check out the awesome techniques to create this months tag!
