12 tags of 2012 - October

Hi everyone,

Tim was a little late with the October tag from the 12 tags of 2012. But it was definitely worth the wait! I was hoping for a halloween tag and luckily he did make​​ one! I totally wanted to make this tag ASAP. The background was finished very quickly. The decorating and embellishing part too a little bit longer.

I walked around a bit in my craftroom and found a package with black feathers and that needed to be on the tag. Of course my favorite skull must find a place on it as well. And this time he has got red eyes. Very creepy! The Tattered Florals I made from black cardstock that I treated with the faux leather technique. I haven't done it before and I really was amazed by it. So odd that the paper starts to feel like leather after spritzing it with ink refresher. On some of the flowers I put some rock candy dry glitter which I've made black using  pitch black alcohol ink​​. The wings have a thin coat of rock candy crackle paint on them.









Thank you for stopping by! Love to see you next time!

Hugs,
Sandra

Hey San, je TAG is echt super creepy. Mooie technieken heb je gebruikt, vooral dat gerimpelde papier effect vind ik heel gaaf en natuurlijk ook de bling bling op de bloem. Zo zie je maar weer dat zelfs bling bling met Halloween goed uit kan pakken.

Flight of the dead!!!! Those are really spooky red eyes and what a clever idea to use feathers. You do the best tags Sandra - they are always so intriguing to me!
