So I heard all this talk about MS glow in the dark glitter. Of course we had to get some, bad thing was it was 20% off at M's this week and couldn't use my 50% coupon. I wasn't going to get it because of that but...my 9 yr old is a total enabler and was begging that we neeeeeeded it! LOL. I love the glitter. Only bad thing is, can't figure out how to get it to photograph well glowing in the dark.







RECIPE:

** This is an A7 slider card

** Gypsy Wandering used and the Gypsy

** Pumpkin sized 5.27 x 9.50. Flipped, grouped and welded 1 pumpkin and then used hide/contour for the face. Cut this 2x and in 2 colors--orange and yellow textured paper.

** Used one of my CM circle cutting templates to draw a part circle at top of pumpkin and cut the top/stem part off on the orange paper.

** Cut yellow strip of paper to fit inside of pumpkin for slider and then glued pumpkin top onto the yellow slider card. Inked stem with MS green chalk ink. Inked yellow paper with Tim Holtz distress ink in mustard seed. Then, inked outside edge of yellow card with distress ink in walnut stain. Dried lightly with heat gun. Stamped "trick or treat with $1 rubber stamp from M's in staz-on in black. Colored in the candy with CM distress ink and fantastix.

** With scotch quick dry, glued yellow welded pumpkin together from the inside and then glued yellow pumpkin back to orange pumpkin back.

** Now all you have is an open orange and yellow pumpkin "flap." Time to make the pocket for the card to slide into. Just run a fine bead of scotch quick dry on outside edges of the back of the orange and press onto the yellow paper. DON'T glue the top of the pumpkins together.LOL, Then I used a Tsuniko sponge applicator and applied Tim Holtz distress ink in Spiced Pumpkin to the outside of the orange paper and the top of the pumpkin.

** Now, is where I applied the glowing glitter to the face features. I didn't do a very clean job of it but oh well! LoL I used scotch quick dry glue and just glued inside each face feature (one at a time) and quicky sprinkled the glitter on and pressed in. I applied heat gun briefly. didn't like the thickness of the glitter, so I repeated steps above one more time. It does glow really nicely in the dark !

** Applied some CM candy stickers and some other stickers I had for a while to the top of the pumpkin. Outlined the outside of face features in black ink.

Regrets on this project: I should have outlined the pumpkin features in black ink before applying glitter. Maybe should've only done one layer of the glitter. Should've used more candy stickers.
