Something Spooky - Halloween Tag by Bernadette

Good Morning Everyone!

I am looking the Halloween making season this year - not something I've been into before but seeing all the makes on social media has got me inspired - spooky!

I decided to make a tag using some of the fab Halloween goodies from Tando.  I'll add links to all the products I used.

I started with a size 10 tag https://www.tando-creative.co.uk/TAGS120X60.html which is my go-to tag size and covered it with some patterned paper

I then painted the coffin black and added some texture paste through a stencil.  Once the texture paste was dry, I sprayed some black soot distress oxide over the top. I painted the skeleton with some off white paint and dry brushed a tiny amount of grey paint over the top, leaving some bits off white https://www.tando-creative.co.uk/SKELPAIR.html

I then cut a piece of white card and did some stencilling with grey and black ink.  I added ink through the stencil and also added some ink directly to the stencil, spritzed it with water and stamped it onto the card.

 I painted the pumpkin orange and added some black ink to the edges.  I painted the spider and bat black and added some silver gilding wax https://www.tando-creative.co.uk/TMMXDHLWN.html  https://www.tando-creative.co.uk/GRBBGSPDERS.html

I then layered everything onto the tag using either foam tape or glue.

This might be my last Halloween make for this year but I might try to sneak another one in before the end of October - watch this space :)

Lots of Love

Good Morning Crafters!  I've been away for too long but I am hoping to be posting much more from now on.  

I'm getting the spooky vibes as we go into October and autumn so I've started with this greyboard tag.

 The first thing I did was to cover the tag (size 10) https://www.tando-creative.co.uk/TAGS120X60.html with some patterned paper.  I then grunged it up a bit with some vintage photo and ground espresso distress ink using an ink blender.

I then used one of the frame pieces from the specimen cards and binder set, https://www.tando-creative.co.uk/fiona-randall-specimen-cards-and-binder.html added some grit paste and  painted it black. I then dry brushed the whole piece with some green paint over the top.  I then attached some patterned paper to the back of the frame.

I used some black distress ink to colour the greyboard extra thins wire https://www.tando-creative.co.uk/XTHNSWIRE.html

I added a paper doll to the frame and glued the greyboard thin wire to the front.

I painted the key black and rubbed some gold wax over the top and added that with the numbers, the sitting paper doll and saying to the front of the tag.

Would be great to see your spooky makes on the Facebook Tando Creative Zone.

Love, Bernadette xxx
