DIY Spooky Halloween Tags

I designed a brand new Halloween stencil for Stencil Girl!  Here is how it looks, and here are some tags I made with it.

I started off stenciling some of the motifs on circles I punched from an orange gelli print.

And then I went to town, using some of the Distress Inks techniques I learned from Marjie Kemper's class on Craftsy.  Here's a video of my process.

You can also watch DIY Spooky Halloween Tags on YouTube.  I hope this post gave you some ideas.  

For some more inspiration, check out THIS awesome tutorial by Kristin Van Valkenburgh.  In her video tutorial, Kristin masterfully demonstrates how she used masking fluid, rub-ons, sea salt, splatters, smudge stick, sparkles, changes in registration and more!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween is postponed here in New Jersey until Friday night (second year in a row that Mother Nature has interfered with trick or treating), but for the rest of you, Happy Halloween! 

Nathalie Kalbach's and Julie Fei-Fen Balzer's  Second Floor challenge this week was to use all six primary and secondary colors.  And Natasha May had invited us all to her Halloween party and asked us to come in costume.  I decided to imagine myself as a sassy witch, riding high on the moon.  I have to say that imagining myself like this was the "taking it to the second floor" part of my challenge, as well as creating this napkin design with only gouache -- no collage, stamping, stenciling, etc.

Thank you for visiting! If you are so moved, please leave a comment. Hearing from you means the world to me.
