Happy Halloween

Hi Ya!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful week. Today is a new challenge over at Really Reasonable Ribbons our theme - Halloween!! Yep, so you get to share all your spooky ghoulish creations with us, How FUN IS THAT!! :D

So of course I used the Too Cute To Spook ribbon assortment for the Halloween Tag I created. I just couldn't help it. I used the spider web black satin ribbon with the beautiful double faced satin tangerine.   If you haven't got these awesome ribbons yet, you gotta get them. They are just beautiful and so great to use for your Halloween projects. I also used a TH Stamp and numbers along with Recollections Halloween paper and some die cuts.

 Such a fun tag for Halloween. I stapled the spider web ribbon on small stamped tag.

I embossed the stamped image with black embossing poweder and used

 TH inks around my image. I wanted to give it like a sunset type of look. 

And with spider webs on the stamp I had to use the spider web ribbon. Right??? 

I fussy cut the little sentiment on the top popped it up with 3D adhesives and I fussy 

cut the scary pumpkin on the bottom. The fence is a cut from my cricut. For my 

background I used Anna Griffith die spider web die cut and a spider from 

the collection. I added black stickles to the spider. 

I love how it all came together.

Tim Holtz - March - 12 Tags of 2015

Hi all,

Some of you know that I am doing the 12 Tags of 2015 with Tim Holtz Blog. I decided to do this so I can learn new tip and tricks and new techniques using all of the fantastic TH/Ranger products I own. So each month you create a tag with instructions from Tim on how to achieve the same tag or a tag using the same technique that he has created with TH products, all year long.

So my tag did not quit turn out like I wanted, it's actually kind of plain but I did use the techniques he instructed on the blog for the March 2015 Tag. I wanted to give a different look to the tag and used a colored embossing powder with the Rays stencil (love that stencil) especially with Easter upon us, I wanted some bright color in it.

Well here it is:  Since I didn't have the products he used with his tag, I used what I had on hand.

First I applied inks broken china, seedless preserve, evergreen bough, spun sugar, spiced marmalade on top of the tissue tape. Tissue tape used was butterflies and dictionary words.

I used the #3 to symbolize March with the little March calendar popped up next it from the ephemera package.

Used a metal rose painted with spun sugar and a metal tag with twine.

The stamp is the Tim Holtz - French Flight it comes with the die cuts by sizzix.  Used the butterfly stamp and embossed with black embossing powder. I cut out a mask to place over the stamp image to apply the texture paste. (as Tim did in the tutorial on the blog)

The stencil I used is Rays along with the texture paste, applied cayenne embossing powder on top of the texture paste then used the heat gun to achieve the technique Tim used on his tag. (Tim used a gold embossing powder with his texture paste)

Well entering my March 2015 Tag into the challenge. 

If you get a chance to go by Tim's blog you should definitely stop by there is so much Inspiration, I am not even kidding. I love looking at all the tags that people do so many creative and talented people there. :D

Thanks for visiting. Hugs ~ Deborah
