Spooky Halloween Tag by Evelyn

Hello lovely Rubber Dancer, it´s Evelyn today!

I admit, I am not a Halloween lover, but sometimes I like to make something a bit spooky and dark. So I made a tag in classic Halloween colors with some gold and silver.


I used a tag from a packaging, gessoed it and put a generous amount of crackle paint on top. When dry, I painted the surface with orange acrylic paint, added a coat of weathered wood crackle glaze and dryed it. On top of this I painted different acrylic paints (purple, orange, umbra, black, ultramarine blue) and for a little drama with gold acrylic paint. Well, the crackling didn´t work that good this time, but I guess, the reason is, that I was too impatient.
Now I stamped on the background in brown and black with the following stamp sets:
and with grey ink 
The vocal image, the raven from the stamp set Nesting, I stamped on tissue paper, tore it out and glued it with matte medium to my tag. I painted it with black acrylic paint to make it stand out more.
I wanted to look it a little bit more spooky, so I used one stamp from the stamp set Face Up, stamped it with grey ink on tissue paper and glued it to the background. I love, how it turned out!
Lastly I embellished  the tag with silver painted twiggs, spiderweb, a little felt bat and some word sticker.





That´s it for today! I hope you like my tag!

Thank you for your visit and have a spooky October!

Rubber Dance Stamp Challenge - October

Klikk her for info på norsk (info in Norwegian) Hello, gorgeous! Are you ready for another fun challenge? I guess you are! Our colour scheme and theme this month might not come as a big surprise. After all, fall/autumn is all around us (here in the north, anyway), and we do love its glorious colours! We hope you do, too, when you create an entry (or three) for our October Challenge: Did you know that "fall" is an Old English word? It replaced the word 'harvest' in the early 1600s as more people started moving into cities. City dwellers began to use the phrase 'fall of the leaf'' and, over time, the phrase was shortened to fall. Surprisingly, etymologists don’t know where the word "autumn" comes from. It was used as far back at the 1300s (by Chaucer), and Shakespeare often used the word, too. As English spread to the New World, the common season names split as well and today, American English uses the word fall while British English
