The tag is inspired by the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge, which I have been mulling over all week - finally got round to completing it this morning using the funky colours from this week's Play Date Cafe Colour Story.
Below are the inspiration pics:

Waltzingmouse sketch Challenge:
For Your Inspiration - this gorgeous picture of a Cathedral interior is echoed in the gothic arches and apertures on my tag.
Here's my take:
I have used Core'dinations Fuschia Fizz as the base, and embossed with a Cuttlebug script folder, sanded back to reveal the core, and then distressed with Frayed Burlap and Walnut Stain inks.
Then cut a label using Nestabilities Labels 3, and black embossed the stars using the star stamp from Waltzingmouse Stamps Midnight Feast.
Then using a Nellie Snellen die, cut the green frame from some Wild rose Studios paper. Then Black embossed the Bat Wreath from WMS Hocus Pocus set, distressed with some more Frayed Burlap, and layered the frame on top. The Bat Wreath fits PERFECTLY inside the Nellie Snellen die cut frame, something I love about Claire's stamps - they don't just fit spellbinders!
The little sentiment label is the die cut centre from the frame, and the sentiment is from Halloween Party stamp set, using two different sentiments and masking off the bits I didn't want.
Finally added some black gems, a black felt flower and green brad, some green ruffled ribbon from The Ribbon Reel, and used a martha Stewart gothic arch edge punch along the bottom.
I will also enter this into Paper Issues, and Tuesday Throwdown which wants Halloween projects.
Thanks for stopping by,
Pauline

Fab project Pauline! Love the WM batty wreath :) What a great way to dress up a bottle! Thanks for joining along with the WMSC :)
Totally original and fun colors for a Halloween tag...love how you made it for a bottle of spooky brew! My fave part is how you have that awesome "bat snowflake" placed inside the beautiful die cut, so cool!
This is so creative. I love all the little details, my favorite being that sanded image. Brilliant! I also love how you used that color combination for Halloween. Unexpected colors, but they are perfect for this spooky brew tag!
A fantastic bottle tag Pauline and I love the Halloween theme too :)
