Halloween Tag Swap



This is one of the tags I created for a Halloween tag swap.  I love making Halloween art-it's so much fun.  The background is stamped with a raven stamp (Tim Holtz) and swiped with Distress Stains.  I cut the clock out of cloth and attached it with fusible webbing.  The witch is a collage image.  I'm entering this into Simon Says Stamps Monday Challenge, to use stamps or stencils.

Letter N


I'm participating in an on going ATC swap using the alphabet.  We recently got to the Letter N, which I really struggled with for some reason  I finally decided to do "night" and really was happy with the results. I created the background by applying stencil paste through a star stencil.  Then I inked it up with distress inks in shades of blue and purple.  The image is stamped onto a transparancy and attached with brads.
