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
