Halloween Tag

Hi there! One more day closer to the weekend - and it is a long one here in the US! I'm looking forward to an extra day of sleeping in just a bit. I've noticed it is now still dark in the morning when I get up and I have such a hard time crawling out of bed for work.

Today I thought I'd share my creation for this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge. This week the sketch is from yours truly! I think you might know how much I love to create tags, so I thought a tag would be a fun sketch.
Ooh so fun. Here's my tag for Halloween.

I started with a manila tag from Stampers Anonymous - these are 6-3/4" by 3-1/8", so there's lots of room to create!

I inked my tag with Rusty Hinge and Black Soot Distress Inks, and then stitched a piece of patterned paper (Glowing - Authentique Paper) to it.

I stamped and colored the circle label images from both Cicely and Gracie at Halloween sets. The trick or treat label is from Midnight Feast and the banners are from Bitty Banners.

These are fun little images to color. Next time, I plan to use lots of glitter on them! Don't you think that will look vintage Halloween yummy?

You can find more information about the weekly Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge here on the blog. It is great fun to play along, and we'd love to have you!

Enjoy your day, thank you for stopping by!

  2. This is so gorgeous Anya. I love that you used a larger tag to fit all your images on. What a perfect size. I love the little banner on it and those two "girls" in their Halloween outfits.
