Halloween Fun with Spooky projects

Hi Dreamers!
Hope you are having a great weekend!  I have been working on Halloween cards recently.  And, as Halloween is fast approaching, I thought I had better get them posted.  So, it will be Halloween for the next few posts.  I may throw in something not Halloween now and then too---just so you don't get bored.  LOL

The two projects shown today, use  stamps from Technique Junkies.  Technique Junkies acquired Stamp Camp Stamps recently and has added lots of new designs too.  You can also pick up their stamps at the large stamping shows around the country (like the Heirloom shows).

First a spooky Tag:




Materials List:
Stamps: Pumpkin Heads with Sentiment, Wrought Iron Panel all from Technique Junkies/Stamp Camp
Ink: Pumpkin Pie - Stampin' Up; Rich Cocoa and Tuxedo Black - Memento
Distress Inks: Spiced Marmalade, Dried Marigold, Mustard Seed 
Copic Markers
Fence Die Cut- A Muse Studios
Satin ribbons



 Instructions:

  • Make a tag from white CS
  • Stamp the Wrought Iron with Pumpkin Pie ink several times
  • Stamp the Pumpkin Heads with Rich Cocoa (stamp a few extra pumpkin heads to cut and use as embellishments)
  • Create a mask for the pumpkins and Distress the tag with distress inks
  • Color the pumpkins with Copic Markers
  • Stamp the sentiment with black ink
  • Add the ribbons

  • Place a piece of the Crazy Mesh  and the stamped velum behind the opening in the orange CS
