Witch Shoes

Good morning and welcome to Catch the Bug's Bingo challenge!

I did two rows, the first is the top with Orange and Black, Bling and Ribbon. But I also did 

Orange and Black, 3 layers and sentiment! I used Bugaboo's New Release Witch Shoes (which are sooo  gorgeous!) and printed them twice to pop up the ribbons. After embossing the black background with the spider web embossing folder I traced it with a Sakura glitter gel pen. I first tried sanding the web but I didn't get the effect I wanted.
