I'm sharing my last Halloween make for this year using a favourite resist technique that I haven't used for a long time to decorate a Mini Etcetera Tag with Idea-ology Layering Stencils, Halloween Ephemera and the Skeleton image from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Inventor 4.
So let's get started...I covered 2 Mini Etetera Tags with Distress Mixed Media Heavystock using Distress Collage Medium Matte but ended up only using one.
I coloured the tags with Distress Oxide inks using a mini round blending tool, pouncing the colours on randomly, no blending required. I applied Ranger Transparent Gloss Texture Paste through the Halloween Layering Stencil to add words to the tags and set aside to dry.
I repeated the process with Rosette and Crossed Layering Stencils, again leaving the paste to dry thoroughly.
I applied a coat of Black Soot Distress Paint over the tags and wiped the paint back from the Translucent Gloss Paste sections with a cloth. I applied a wash of Antique Linen Distress Paint, sanded the edges and certain areas of the tag to make the background look less flat and more textured.
I added a layer of Idea-ology Textured Surfaces and Worn Wallpaper fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium Matte and stamped the branch image from Mr Bones with Black Soot Archival.
I added a Halloween Remnant Rub face to the pumpkin
I coloured Crinkle Ribbon with Carved Pumpkin and Peeled Paint Distress Spray Stains, scrunched the ribbon up in a paper towel to remove the excess ink and dried with a heat tool.
I tied the Crinkle Ribbon through the hole in the tag, added pieces of Mummy Cloth fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium Matte and the crinkle ribbow bow.
Have a great weekend whatever you have planned and I'll see you all on Monday to share my DT project for Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. In the meantime, the first snow of winter has arrived in my neck of the woods

We had snow this morning too, a bit of a shock for this neck of the woods!
ReplyDeleteThe tags are fabulous, I love how you created the wonderful backgrounds and the skeleton looks amazing. I bet you will not stop using the mummy cloth just yet though - lol ! Hugs, Anne xx
that background is awesome. I would have never guessed you started with such bright colors!
ReplyDeleteFabulous tag Kath, I don't like the look of that snow! we don't get it here
ReplyDeleteBest place the cubby hole when the weather becomes cold we have no snow as yet but l live by the sea so the sea air keeps it at bay x
ReplyDeleteThe way you made the background is so effective. All that shiny black embossing and rich colourful layers look great.
