I started with a Tim Holtz Distress Mixed Media Heavystock tag. Oh ... I love this surface!!! It works so well Distress products. I began by stamping the Jack-o-lantern, vines, leaves and bat with black archival ink. I used Distress markers to color each. and Coffee archival ink to stamp the text script in various places around the tag.
Then it was off to coloring the background. I used various Distress Ink browns applied with an ink blending foam. I spritzed the background with water.
I finally added some Halloween Remnant Rubs, a "haunted" text sticker (outlined with an archival pen), some Halloween bat washi tape and jeweled brad.
I am going to enter this in Frilly and Funkie's 'Tis Near Halloween Challenge. Thanks for dropping by. Hope you have a chance to get your hands inky this week.
