Its that time of year again! There is a chill in the air, pumpkins are placed on the porch, and Joli Paquet is back! I hope you all had a fantastic summer! We sure did, but I am so ready for Fall. It was a REALLY hot summer in Texas. Well, it hasn’t cooled off much yet but, this tutorial is sure to chill your bones! This project may look a little scary and daunting but its easier to make than you think.
Supplies
Arondack alcohol ink (assorted dark colors)
Scrapbook paper ( I used Pink paislee Eclipse)
Design-Ables Self-stick clear Matte paper
Distress ink and blending tool
Bone folder
Drill
Wire
Foil Tape
Halloween Stamps
Stazon ink
Plexiglas- you can buy this at Lowes in a Varity of sizes, they will even cut it for you, or find it here.
1. Plexiglas will come with protected cover. Leave this on for now. Mark glass with permanent marker for where you want hanging holes. Place glass over wood or something similar that is ok to drill into. Using firm-Not hard- pressure slowly begin to drill hole. Repeat.

6. Take several different shades of dark alcohol ink and apply to felt pad and blending tool. Dap foil until you have a mottled, aged look. Let dry.
7. Use Stazon Ink and Halloween stamps. Stamp directly onto front of glass. Let dry.
8. Print desired image onto Design-ables self-stick paper.
9. Peel backing off one corner and apply to glass. Using bone folder or another edge slowly peel and burnish image onto glass.
10.Poke holes into paper .Add wire or ribbon to holes. Gems, buttons, and other embellishments could also be added to sign using Inkssential Glossy accents.
