Hello Friends
As there are five Fridays in September, it is time for Tag Friday over at A Vintage Journey.
Since Halloween is one of my favourite times of the year and I have got some new
Tim Holtz goodies to play with, I made a Halloween tag.
I coloured the base tag using a variety of Distress Spray Stains. Using the new Mixed Media Halloween Thinlit dies I cut the bats from the top right hand side of the tag and then mounted the tag onto some black card so that the bats were highlighted.
I used the Graveyard On the Edge die to cut my gravestones and the Lost Zombie was cut and coloured using Distress Markers.
I used an Idea-ology pumpkin charm, coloured with Alcohol Ink, some Remnant Rubs, a stamped 'trick or treat' and finished the tag top off with some black voile and Halloween Jute String.
If you have not been already, I hope you will visit A Vintage Journey to see what my talented teamies have made, you won't be disappointed!Our current challenge (Create Within A Frame) at A Vintage Journey is closing soon, we have a wonderful prize on offer, you can check it out here.
It is October tomorrow, so I am on countdown to Halloween now - can't wait! Thanks so much for your visit, I hope to see you again soon.

ReplyDeleteYou make the most beautiful feminine soft creations, Annie, (see last post) and then you show your dark side and ROCK Halloween, lol!! I love this tag!! For some reason, I think it is more charming than ghoulish - I hope that doesn't offend you because I know you love your ghoul! Want to join me for some ghoulash? Haha, I karack myself up! Can you tell I'm punchy because I haven't even begun to pack yet and my brain is going in a million different directions about what I want to bring to work on. Oh, sorry, Hammy just hit the "You're Rambling!" button so I'll get back to your tag: love the little pumpkin he is holding and how you gave him a string belt, you genius you! Enjoy working on your favorite creations of the year!! Love and hugs, Darnell xxoo
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tag and I love your lost zombie - haven't seen him before! I have to admit I do like orange and black as a colour scheme so maybe I should embrace halloween more. Look forward to your next project!! Elaine xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun tag - love the bright orange. Look out for those Zombies. Wonderful details as well. S@ndy xx
ReplyDeleteLove the rich dapple of the Halloween orange on this tag. Also love the corner group of bats' treatment. When I see the new TH dies, I can never envision 'what to do' until I see some project you've used them so splendidly on...and this cute tag just reinforces my idea about TH products! So many tiny details to make a perfect Halloween tag! TFS & Hugs
