I love all things Halloween so Tim's tag this month had me in my element. To see Tim's original please see HERE. I have more or less stuck to his colours and design, with a few tweaks where I did not have the required products.
I am not going to go into a lot of detail as Tim has a full Tutorial on his blog but I will just show a couple of the steps. The first step is stamping and embossing the spider (I do not have Tim's). Tim's new texture paste is a dream to use....
I did not think I needed the new Distress Stain Sprays but since using them, I just know I will NEED more...... it is so easy to get good coverage.
I do not have the pumpkin stamp but I love the witches hat from the new Halloween Blueprints 3 set, I stamped them onto Ranger Watercolour paper and coloured them with Distress Stain.
All of the additional elements are similar to ones used by Tim. I did not have the mini attachers that Tim used so I just made dots with a black Fude Ball pen onto the words Boo and Eek.
I always make a second tag for my lovely friend Ali and have just made a couple of tweaks.
Thanks for looking and I hope you will check back on Friday when a new challenge starts over at A Vintage Journey. Take care. Hugs, Anne xx
fabulous !
ReplyDeleteI do like your interpretation of his tag. I can't wait to get my mits on those sprays! In the mean time, I have put my stains into mini misters...not bad, but a bit fine. I think I like the boo one with the clock on the glass...hard to say, they are nearly identical really...
ReplyDeleteI prefer yours Anne - those colours look tremendous. Fab tag! Nicola x
ReplyDeleteI love your take on Tim's tag Anne ....... the witch's hats look fab! Linda xx

Both tags are brilliant Anne, the hat is a great choice and I think it looks better than Tims pumpkin. I love how the background spray colours have blended so well but you can still see all the colours you have used. Mo x
