Gonna Party Like a Rockstar ...

... er, probably not. But I am going to Scrapyland today to meet another batch of Miami scrappers. {It's an online store, but the warehouse is local & they will open it and let you shop if you are local and they are going to be on site during the time you want to come.} Sounds like there could be as many as nine or ten people there today ~ exciting! We're well on our way to making Miami scrapbooking paradise!

I made ten of these simple little Halloween tags to take with me as gifts for everyone:



I started by stamping "Forest Moss" Distress Ink directly on my misting mat. Then I sprayed the "Forest Moss" Distress Ink with "English Ivy" Glimmer Mist & dragged a #6 manila tag from staples through the mixture to create that mottled green background color.

While the tags were still wet, I ran them through my burlap embossing folder. I covered one side of the embossing folder in Colorbox Fluid Chalk Ink in "Blackbird" so that the embossing would be two-toned. Finally, I finished prepping the background by inking the edges and any light colored area in "Walnut Stain" Distress Ink.

Next I embossed the pumpkin image from the Inkadinkado "Happy Haunting" stamp set on black cardstock from American Crafts, using the "Terra Cotta" Adirondack Semi-Matte embossing powder by Ranger. I cut out the pumpkins leaving a slight black edge and stuck them to the tags with black foam tape.

Finally, I embellished the tag with some flowers, some Making Memories Tiny Alphas and a custom stick pin I put together. I added some fibers to the top and tied a skull charm around the fiber with a piece of string {aka ecru embroidery floss}. Then I signed the backs & now they're ready to take with me today!

I hope you enjoyed the tags & have a great day!
