Mixed Media Halloween Tag Take Flight

Hello, my talented crafty friends, I hope you all enjoyed the beautiful fall weather and autumnal scene during the weekend. This week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, we challenge you create a project with the theme "TAKE FLIGHT". Whether your preferred mode of transport is a plane or hot air balloon, or you could go with nature and feature a bird or flying insect. Whatever you decide to use, we will be looking forward to seeing your makes! 

I was inspired to create a mixed media Halloween tag using Tim Holtz Paper Doll Ancestors with Regal Adornments Metal wings, and decorated the tag with Idea-ology Pumpkin Pieces Findings.

To start this tag, I first applied Distress Paints on the background of the tag and the Baseboard Frame. You can stamped the bats on the chipboard with the black ink pad, cut and outline them using orange Distress Paint. The metal owl wing embellishments were colored with Distress Paints. 

I layered the paper dolls and the colored baseboard frame, and pasted them on the tag using Prima Heavy Gel. The pumpkins and the dried raffia were adhered on the tag using the heavy gel, too. 

To finish off this project, I sprayed some Distress Paint and water mixture on the tag. I really had fun creating this "TAKE FLIGHT" themed tag and hoped you got inspired, too. Please join us this week and happy crafting!

Mixed Media Spooky Halloween Decoration

Hello, my talented blog friends! Welcome back for the new challenge this week! I hope you all had an awesome weekend. Our challenge theme this week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is "Halloween / SPOOKY". Cant' believe it's Halloween again already. I was inspired to make a mixed media Halloween tag with many spooky elements using Tim Holtz Idea-ology Tombstone and Paper Dolls Ancestors Paperie for this week's challenge. 

To start this project, I first colored this size 8 mixed media etcetera tag with black Distress Paint, then colored the Idea-ology Vignette Box with the same Distress Paint. I attached the box on the tag using Prima heavy body gel, then covered the tag and box with Ranger Crackle Paint for the crackle texture. 

I added many Halloween elements using Tim Holtz Halloween Remnant Rubs on, Idea-Ology Ephemera Pack, Paper Doll and Tombstone on the tag and in the box using Prima heavy gel. 

I randomly applied some orange, purple and brown shades using Tim Holtz Distress Paints on the tag and box to finish off this project. It's always so much fun creating Halloween project during the fall season with these spooky embellishments from Tim Holtz Halloween collection. I hope you got inspired and create your Halloween project. Join us and happy crafting!
