As luck would have it, Linda has us on page 53, Challenge #25 in our CC2 books and we are playing with Perfect Pearls! Now that is a favorite of mine, among many and as Simon Says Stamp is the sponsor, well they also have a challenge at Simon Says Stamp and Show "A Favorite," so we are double dipping as I love Halloween and Perfect Pearls! Will also link this up to the current "Spooktacular Decorations" challenge at Inspiration Journal!
I can't tell you about the technique for challenge #25, but I can tell you a little bit about that awesome skull! I stamped this dude on recycled plastic, after scuffing the plastic up a bit. I really wanted a ghostly effect. Once I stamped him using Archival Black, I clear embossed. Yes, you must be careful with plastic as it can easily distort. The Graveyard was much fun to make and I will tell you about that at a later time. Added a couple of shrinky dinks and a star was born. All stamps are Tim's as are the Perfect Pearls, dies, etc!
Keeping this short and sweet as it is kind of late here and I just wanted to get this posted tonight! Thank you for stopping by and I hope you are having a fabulous week!

Hi Terry, wonderful spooky tag, and great bit of recycling. The skull looks amazing on the plastic set against your very striking background. Thanks so much for joining in the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge. Tracy x x
I think the word 'wow' comes to mind here! This is a stunning tag and yet another reason for me to buy the book (I know, I'm probably the only person in the world not to have it!). The colours are wonderfully creep and the recycled plastic skull is just fantastic. Can you tell I really like this?

I love this Terry. So many wonderful techniques. I was wondering how you got the skull to look so ghostly. Thanks for sharing that tip - I will be trying that out. Much as the tag looks fab I am glad you showed us the detail of the background -this would look wonderful on so many projects. Hugs Helen
