Halloween: Skeleton Tag

Hi! Dana here today sharing the tag I created for the Halloween theme this week. I started this project by a stenciling and embossing a bat pattern onto a black tag. I used a coffin from the Pair of Skeletons set as a fun second layer. I covered the chipboard coffin with black crackle paint and then a layer of Stampendous Spoonful of Midnight.

I'm really dating myself using a fun piece of Halloween patterned paper from Creative Imaginations! I absolutely love the dressed up skull. I embellished the highlights in her hair with glitter glue and then added a small bat, from the Tando Minis Mixed Halloween Set, that I sprayed with Tattered Angels Black Magic Glimmer Mist, which is a wonderful combination of black ink and gold shimmer. I added two green rhinestones for the eyes.

I created a colorful flower cluster for the bottom of the tag. I tucked half of a mini spider web, also from the Mixed Halloween Set, under the flower petals.

You can find the products I used for this project in the Tando Creative Retail Store. We'd love to see your creativity! Share your work with us in Tando's Creative Zone on Facebook.

Spooky Tag

Hi friends! Dana here today sharing a Halloween tag for the Spooky theme this week. I used a coffin from the Pair of Skeletons set as a sturdy base for this tag. I covered the chipboard with black crackle paint and then a layer of Stampendous Spoonful of Midnight. (This was the first time I used the Spoonful of Midnight and I absolutely love the multicolored sparkle! It will be hard not keep this wonderful medium off of all my projects!) I added a pop of color with some orange roses and green and purple leaves. I then topped the coffin with a skeleton.

I punched a hole in the top of the coffin and added a stenciled black cardstock tag under the coffin and a length of chain with a metal charm and Mini Skull to further embellish the top of the tag.

I finished this piece with a piece of bright purple lace and a spooky brad.

You can find the chipboard I used for this project, and a wonderful selection of Stampendous products, in the Tando Creative Retail Store.
