Show it off Saturday Linky Party and Drink if you dare

used a few new things I got from
Witch's Brew stamp set
Drink if you Dare Die set
this set is amazing to make
this shaker card.
I coated the die with versa mark
and use ultra think embossing powder
then went over it with some
black soot distress ink
the paper is from
My Mind's Eye
wicked mechant malvado
and to fill my little bottle
Skittles from
Carri
 I used a double layer of foam tape
 behind the die
some of the skittles stay in place some move
mixed with some clear sequins
I love how the hand of the skeleton
shows in the bottle
great accident that the bottom
of the bottle matches the line
of the trick or treat sentiment
 
 Show it off Saturday
 Linky Party
any Project, handmade item, 
card or Layout
one entry per person please
winner will received
8 skeins of  seam binding ribbon
