Halloween tag

Hi there, well I've been a very quiet blogger lately as i've had sleeping sickness, ok i've had a cold but I haven't been able to keep my eyes open after work so I haven't got a lot of crafting or blogging done this week. I did manage to have a play with some of the gorgeous Halloween stamps from Chocolate Baroque though and made this little tag using stamps from 'Howling Moon, 'Boo'' and 'Haunted House' stamp sheets (you can find them here)

I began by stamping the gorgeous howling doggie on a silk art tag and masking the moon with eclipse masking tape. I brayered in the spooky sky with memento inks (dandelion and tangelo) and used the same colours at the bottom of the tag. I then masked the sky off to ink in the ground with memento tuxedo black, keeping the bottom of the tag masked with a post-it note. I added a spider and his web, lots of branches and a black tag (with cinnamon stickles for his eyes)

Next I stamped the gorgeous Halloween sentiment stamp onto the orange with versmark and embossed with clear EP before blacking the whole area out with memento tuxedo black. A quick wipe with a baby wipe and the sentiment popped out a lovely shiny orange colours.

To finish off I coloured some seam binding ribbon with tangelo and tuxedo black inks and scrunched it up before adding a bow to the tag.
