Halloween Glass Block

Hi everyone, I am LaShavia from thecraftypinkbutterfly.blogspot.com. This is my first post of hopefully many more and I am kind of nervous but here I go. First I want to thanks Sheila for giving me this opportunity and being so nice and helpful to a new blogger like me.
I thought that I would start with something Halloween so we can all get our decorating started.
The block started of clear (from ACMoore) so I used Rust-Oleum Frosted Glass spray to give the glass block the frosted look.

To decorate the block I used Avery clear sticker paper (from Walmart) in my Imagine to color and cut my images.
For the Happy Halloween I used Celebrate with Flourish for the cuts and All Wrapped Up for the color cut at 2 inches.
 The tree is also from Celebrate with Flourish, colored with All Wrapped Up cut at 4 inches.
The last cut is from Holiday Cakes also colored with All Wrapped Up cut at 1.2.
It was so easy to put the cuts on the block I did not need to use transfer paper.
Once I good all the pieces on the block I put a sting on battery operated lights in the block (see picture above,got them from ACMoore).
So there is my first project, I hope you like it and please go over to my blog to follow me and check everything out. I am new so any comments or advice you can give me would be appreciated.
I also want to give a big thank you to Bobby , the Sassy dude for all his help and advice.
Thanks and I will see you next time.
