12 tags of 2012- October

Hi everyone! Yes I am finally back at my desk, sorry it's been a while but I went on a lovely holiday to visit the family in America (and get "supplies" that I have been wanting)

So it is time for the October tag and with only a few days to spare...
Surprise, surprise, I did not have any of Tim's goodies- some things never change! But who said I could not improvise?

I have stamped some tissue paper with stamps from A C Moore & Michaels that I bought several years ago (jack o lantern & trick or treat).
The tissue paper was coloured with distress inks rather than stains (Wild Honey/ Spiced Marmalade/ Rusty Hinge/ Seedless Preserves).
The cobweb stamp is a Martha Stewart one, BOO & 31 are die-cuts, the bat & spider came from a mixed bag I bought at the Dollar Store (rings).

I did try to make the black glitter but had no dry Stickles or black Alcohol in- my efforts with white glitter & regular black ink were not worth using so gave it a miss.
