The Perils of Boo

 I've already done a Tim's Tag for October, which didn't have much in common with Tim's tag.  As much as I loved the Gothic Boo die cut, I didn't own it, and didn't want to invest in the purchase of one.  So I made my tag with other stuff.  Yet that Boo was calling to me.  I found a seller "ohana_cat" on eBay who sells pre-made chipboard die cuts of Tim's designs.  I decided I wanted to follow Karla Nathan's preference for white Halloween.  So what did I do?  I used German Silver glass glitter to cover my Boo.  That wasn't the color I wanted at all and I knew it when I was sprinkling it on.  Ugh.  Plus the glitter coverage wasn't good.  So I gooped on a thick coat of Mod Podge and sprinkled over it with Martha's sterling silver glitter.  I mean, I was already committed to silver.  I spritzed my background dictionary paper with Perfect Pearl mist, fussy cut some Graphic 45 ghosts and added some more Tim elements.  Oh, this is also on a Ginormous Tag 'cause I thought it fit the large Boo better. 
With that silver tag done, I settled down to create a more toned down version.  Here I used Martha's gold glitter, Tim's tickets, eye stamp, Vintage Market die strip for the 31, a Spellbinders flourish die and a lace leaf I sprayed with a mix of Lindy Stamp Gang Starburst Sprays.  This Gothic Boo is so fun.  I want to use one of my 2 remaining die cuts as a mask.  Then I may need to order more...or the die itself??
