Happy Halloween Tag

Well, hello again! Sorry to have to post twice in one day but these darn challenges are sometimes too fast for me, lol. Today I'm popping in again real quick to share a home decor tag that I made to add to my home Halloween / Fall / Thanksgiving art. 

This tag is 4x7". I did have some tags with that great scalloped top in my box, but I wanted some extra length. So I traced the scalloped top onto some thin chipboard I have recycled. 

Here's a process shot to help me explain how I stamped this. The first thing I stamped was the graveyard you see behind the fence, using a Green Pepper Press stamp and Memento ink. Then I stamped a Lost Coast Bubbles Border stamp a few times to make the foreground. Lastly, I stamped a Technique Junkies background stamp called Sunset Tree. Then I colored the entire scene with Promarkers and clear and yellow Winks of Stella.

I added 2 bats cut out of black card stock using a Quickutz die. Then I got to work fussy cutting my Gecko Galz collage sheet images. I edged everything in black or grey and then arranged and adhered with glue stick. I edged the tag all around with a black Promarker chisel tip, then went around again with Midnight Black VersaMagic chalk ink direct to paper. Finally, I hole punched the scallop top with my Cropadile and tied some pieces of skinny black lace from my Mom's lace stash.
