Thread a needle with white thread. With

the needle I punched holes in the upper left hand corner in a way that I could stitch and weave a spider web as shown. Starting on the reverse side I started in order to conceal the knot of the stitching for the spider web.

Fussy cut your colored images. I fussy cut one raven. I then fussy cut one skull, books and bottles image. I then fussycut one of books and skull image. Fussy cut the blue apothecary bottle.

Using Dimensional Glue® a needle with white thread. With the needle I punched holes in the upper left apply some on the backside of the spider web to secure and Tear-ific® Tape to adhere the ragged edged rectangle centered on the black solid core 5"x7" rectangle as shown.

Apply small droplets of Dimensional® Glue on to the Candle runners and using the needle pull the droplet up the candle runner.

Using your nesting die, center over your sentiment and run through your die cutting machine. Antique the edges using Vintage Photo Distress ink on the sentiment.

Adhere the sentiment with double Foam Tape in the lower left hand corner as shown.
