hey there ,
well another spooky Halloween make,
and an experiment...
so today is a tag , in monochrome...
I love using one colour or black and white..
and find lots of colours much harder to pull off..how about you...?
so enough waffle here is my make:
i started by playing with the yummy distress stains and
the fab metallic distress stain..oh and picket fence....love this too...
once dried..i added some skulls stamped with picket fence
hope these show ...
and also some cobwebs ..
stamped with embossing ink, covered with the new ranger sticky embossing powder..
and rock candy loose glitter..did i mention I Love this?!
then i added skulls,
i had rubbed these with a light coat of rock candy crackle paint..love this too...
wings
twisted and stapled wire..
and an idea-ology word band on some twisted wire..
I loved making this spooky tag..
let me know what you think..
be gentle!

Terrific background for a spooky tag
ReplyDeleteLove Chrissie xx
very spooky..awesome colors!
ReplyDeleteLove your tag Trace - I love black and white and use them when my 'colour brain' stops working (often). I bought some of that rock candy glitter and haven't used it yet.

fabulous background and two flying skulls - just fabulous - love it xx
ReplyDeleteFabulous spooky tag - I love it. The black and white combo looks great. x
ReplyDeleteWow - the picket fence skulls in the background are genius-spooky! So ghostly... and I love the smoky inking too. I'm a limited colour crafter for sure... more than three colours on a project, and I start to get nervous! A really great make, here, Trace... have a great Sunday!

I love it Trace, I love that lose rock candy glitter too, I think it might have to be my next purchase. I really like the sentiment and the skulls with the wings on. A great idea Trace. Michelle x
ReplyDeleteJust love those crackled skulls Trace! The picket fence skulls are perfectly creepy too. The wings? I adore those!! I'm more of a colour girl but I love how you do monochrome and maybe you've inspired me to have a go at some point!

ReplyDeleteI think it's a great tag, love the embossed spider webs! Now I love color, so I find monochromatic to be more challenging! Good luck on the DT call, waving hi from the very windy hiolls of North Carolina :)

LOVE the delicate cobwebs against that misty background. A real masterclass in monochrome here Trace. Beautifully executed - (that would be why they are dead then!!) Hugs, Buttons x
