RSD TAG Challenge, PTT, Tuesday Throwdown..

Hi all, I'm sharing a creation today that has taken me out of my comfort zone! I don't do creepy projects very often, I think it is because I am unused to the colour combos for images.  But I have made a double tag project for a Facebook challenge on the Rick St. Dennis group, to create a tag with the words 'Summer is fine, but I'm ready for Halloween' on it.  So I hemmed and hawed over this one, and this is what my fingers decided to make today :-)

The image is Nathanial Nightshade, and he is coloured with Promarkers, and slightly distressed around the edges with Walnut Distress ink. After I coloured him, I set about distressing two paper tags.

 I used Scattered Straw, Weathered Wood, Peeled Paint, Frayed Burlap, Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain Distress Inks. I then sprayed some Cosmic Shimmer Mist in  Tarnished Gold over both tags, I hope you can see the shimmer in these pics, it's so pretty.

Once dry, I embossed in Grey Flannel Memento Luxe ink some barbed wire (from Visible Image stamps) and some claw scratch marks (from Waltzingmouse Stamps) onto one tag, and on the other, I Black embossed using Tuxedo Black Luxe ink some arches and bats from Waltzingmouse Stamps.

The little pumpkins (WMS) are embossed in the Memento Grey Flannel Luxe ink and clear embossed.

The sentiment is computer generated, and I rubbed some distress ink over the words which smudged the ink a bit, but I think it matches the feel of the tags, so I used them.

For my favourite sparkle, I added some pewter gems, and star shaped gems, and finally added some ribbon through the tag holes.

I've really enjoyed creating with this creepy dude!
