boo

 I make a LOT of cards - I have bins and bins of cards ready to go, so it is nice to make something other than cards once in a while! Tags are so much fun and can be used as a tag on a gift or as a bookmark! I'd like to enter my tag into the following challenges:

Cupcake Inspirations #629 - What Makes You Smile (Halloween, witches, and gnomes!)


Tag-alongs and ATC's - Autumn Inspiration

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Use More Than One Stencil

Stencil Fun - Anything Goes/Optional Anything Halloween Related

Cut it Up #341 - Add Embellishments

Make My Monday - Halloween Colors

Inkspirational - Seasonal



I created my background by ink blending through a spiderweb stencil (Tim Holtz) on a piece of watercolor paper. I embossed the whole background, then used more ink through another Tim Holtz stencil for the "boo" sentiment. I then cut the paper into a tag and tied some ribbon through it. I stamped the gnome from the Halloween Gnomes set from Ink n Splatter (now Digi Doodle Studios) with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder, then colored with Copics. I fussy cut and attached with foam dimensional tape. I used a die cut for the spider and witch hat. Peace.

Paper Funday #81 - Anything Goes/Optional Cute or Creepy

Cut it Up #341 - Add Embellishments

Creative Inspiration #32 - Anything Goes

I created my background by blending Candied Apple Distress Oxide Ink on a piece of watercolor paper. I spritzed it with water and blotted with a paper towel. I then flicked some Black Soot Distress Spray Stain all over it. I die cut it with a scalloped edge die cut rectangle from Pink & Main. I added some tombstone die cuts as embellishments and a sticker sentiment from SRM Stickers. I printed out Swiss Pixie Devilish Lucy (old digi from CC Designs), colored her with Copics and a white gel pen, and fussy cut her. I added some red Stickles and attached her with foam dimensional tape. I matted the whole thing on a black cardstock base. Peace.
