Mr. Dapper Bones and Pet Raven are going a Haunting at Gingersnap Creations
GC123 "Ravens" and Simon Says Stamp and Show some "
Stripes" and Anything Goes "
To The Letter." Yes this took more than 10 minutes! All stamps are from Artistic Outpost's "
Haunted Halloween" collection.
So here is what the little voices were telling me what to do! What the voices don't speak to you?? Well come times I have the Molly voice screaming at me to get her lunch and she really does scream! Back seven years ago when we first rescued her, one day I heard this horrific scream and ran to see what was wrong! I never knew a dog could actual scream! OK, back to the business of ghoulish details! Using my Stampin Up "tasteful trim" Sizzix die, I cut the rick rack from 3M Safe Release tape. This works very well and is safe! I added masked stripes across the tag and pressed down to secure. I then used several shades of Distress Inks, covered with clear embossing powder, removed the mask pieces and then heat embossed. The masked areas were covered with Black soot, wiped off the excess and then did the Batik technique. Bones and Raven were inked with Black Archival, heat set and then I colored open areas with Distress Inks. The little tag topper and sentiment were stamped in Black Craft, clear emboss powder and then heat set. I added Distress Inks to these. A little trim and tiny skull for finishing! I could have just stamped Bones and Raven on the tag, but I really wanted a little dimension, even on a mostly flat tag! The tag was backed with black and then distressed!
Just a reminder for any of you who use

Well I can't believe that tomorrow is Friday! Hope you all are having a great week and even a better weekend! Thank you so much for stopping by!

What an awesome tag Terry! I love the colors- love the zig zag and the raven and skeleton are awesome- I want all of the AO stamps in the store........
Love your fab tag. That skeleton is my all time favorite skeleton and he works well with the raven. The zig zag stripes give a real feeling of spookiness.
It's wonderful, Terry! I love how your blended inks work together on the whole tag and then look different when you look at them as the single horizontal panels. And I'm with everyone else on loving the skeleton!
What a great idea using the tape in a zig zag as a mask, you clever girl you! I can tell it took way longer than ten minutes!
Awesome Halloween tag Terry!
hugs Lynn
