For my little "haunting," I did a double sided tag using the Haunted Halloween and Halloween Treats collections. The spacing after the photos, I tried to delete and could not!
Before inking and salting my backgrounds, I stamped the Skully (clear embossed) and Witch (watercolored and masked). I layed my Distress inks starting at the bottom with the darkest color and working up to the lighter.
Tim's tree was cut from corrugated cardboard, crackled and cut in half. The fence was cut from glassine and crackled and offset with a white panel.
Stamped the hat a second time in Black Archival and clear embossed. And of course what skeleton would not be complete with a few extra bone parts! Gross, but fun!
Don't you just love this bat? He was inked and stamped and embossed and cut out using an Stampin Up punch! Have to pull those out once in awhile!
All sentiments/labels were stamped on newsprint and inked up!
I think the bumpy effect of the salted paper works pretty well for a Halloween theme!
Stamps: Artistic Outpost; Halloween Treats, Haunted Halloween
Inks: Black Archival, Clear Embossing, Distress; Black Soot, Dusty Concord, Peacock Feathers, Spiced Marmalade

ReplyDeleteThe double sided tag is a great idea, but I don't know how you actually pulled it off - the back sides of my tags are always such a mess. Love that salted BG - haven't tried that one but it does indeed look amazing for a spooky tag. Very cool piece of work, Terry!
