I fell in love with the new Hooligans paper and the September Stamp of the Month, so I  made this wall hanging using the following products:


Z1334 My Creations Mix & Mingle Album (new)
X7129 Hooligans Level 2 Paper Packet (new)
D1442 Thriller (September Stamp of the Month)
Z2190 - Gypsy Ink Pad (new)
Z134 Prisma Glitter
Z888 - Black Stazon Ink Pad
Z891 - VersaMark Pad
Z1047 Simple Alphabet Dimensional Elements
Z1151 - 3-D Foam Tape
Z1283 - Autumn Craft Buttons
Wire
UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel)


The Mix & Mingle Album is a combination of 5 chipboard and 3 clear acrylic pages that you join together with rings.  I used only 3 of the pages to make my wall hanging.  I applied paper to the front and back of the chipboard pieces and paper to the back of the acrylic piece (because it is clear the paper shows through). 


I mixed the Prisma Glitter with UTEE powder (even amounts of each in a small jar) and applied it to the Dimensional letter covering the letters with VersaMark first and then heated, I applied 2-3 layers of just UTEE embossing powder on top.  I stamped the scull with Gypsy Ink on a chipboard coaster and cut around the image and then embossed like the letters.


I distressed the pages, letters and stamped a flourish on the sides of the acrylic page with with black Stazon ink.  Applied the letters with 3-D Foam Tape and connected the pages with the rings.  Made a hanger with wire (curled it around the handle of my piercing tool) added buttons.


I had so much fun putting this together and cannot wait to hang for Halloween.  Thanks for hopping by;)
