I decorated an Etcetera Tag using a Tim Holtz Haunted House Cling Stamp Set, Distress Oxide Inks and Frightful Things and Swirling Stars Die Sets

I was inspired by THIS TAG made by the super talented Kath .

I started by cutting a piece of watercolor paper the same size as the tag and then blending Forest Moss, Spiced Marmalade, Dusty Concord and Faded Jeans distress oxide inks and then going over everything with black soot to darken the colours. I then spritzed and splattered with water and white gesso. 

I added some black glitter and silver metallic wax to the cobwebs and used the same wax on the spiders and the tombstones. I added a black cat and rusty fence to finish.

Thanks for looking :-)

Stampendous 'Batty Cat' Card and Treat Bag

Hi all, I am here to share a halloween card using a super cute Stampendous  'Batty Cat' Stamp Set and a little treat bag using the big bad wolf from a Little Red Cling Stamp Set 

I used Memento Tuxedo ink and coloured the images with Copic Markers before fussy cutting them out and 'rounding' them with an embossing tool to make them look real ;-)

I used an Echo Park Creepy Bats Stencil and Black Soot Ink for the background, the papers are from an older Doodlebug Paper Pack, but the latest Pumpkin Patch 6x6 Paper Pack is very similar.

The pumpkin and inside sentiment are from a Stampendous Spooky Wishes Stamp Set 

Would you dare take the treats from the Big Bad Wolf!!  for this I used a Lawn Fawn Goodie Bag Die 

Thanks for looking! :-)
