Welcome to Day 4 of our latest 5 for 5 Blog Hop Event. We are 5 crafty friends getting together and creating 5 Holiday themed projects for 5 consecutive days. The event runs from October 12th until October 16th and is Halloween inspired!!
Todays theme is STENCILS! Right away I knew which stencil I would use to create my tag. The background of my tag was inspired by Tim Holtz. He used this technique on a section of burlap canvas and I wanted to try it on a black tag. Here's my tag ...

I started with a black craft tag, Tim Holtz Halloween Stencil, Texture Paste and three GORGEOUS Distress Inks perfect for Halloween.
I scraped texture paste through the Halloween stencil, let it dry and then blended the distress inks over the dried paste. The texture paste absorbs the distress inks beautifully!!
I found an OLD Heidi Swapp flower, some cheesecloth, and some old Halloween die cuts from Marah Johnson and layered them together at the bottom of the tag.
The tag is topped of with distress ink dyed crinkle ribbon and a charm from the Idea-ology Adornments - Oddities Collection (retired).
I'm including this tag as part of October's Mixed Media Monthly Challenge Blog. We have a fun, spooky Word Search challenge this month and this tag fits right in. Stop by the blog and see all the Halloween inspiration, and enter in our challenge for a chance to win an AWESOME Mixed Media prize from Grumbacher!!
The eyes of the skull are Tim Holtz Idea-ology Heirloom Roses with Sunset Orange Alcohol Ink dripped in. I water colored the skull die cut with Wilted Violet Distress Ink and a water brush.

Your distress ink color choices are perfect on the black tag. They almost look like neon and the embellishments are spot on.
