Halloween Tags

Sharing some bookmarks that I have just finished making and I love the new range of red rubber Halloween stamps from IndigoBlu this year. I have used Spooky Girl.


I still use bookmarks a lot and they are always really handy to gift too, especially with your craft swaps. I also just enjoy making them.


The first one I made was stamped with black Versafine Clair ink and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  I used Craft Artist's Fusion Ink in Hunters Gold for the background.

It's really difficult to see the flecks of gold mica in the misty grey/green background. I used the Berry Fusion ink on the pumpkins for a shimmery glow. These inks are beautiful to use. 
 For a touch more texture, I have added glossy accent to her eyes and  I added a little Cosmic Shimmer Glitter Kiss in Midnight Sparkle to the background.


My second tag was just stamped in black versafine Clair ink and then coloured in the image like the first tag. I used a sparkle dye based ink in ocean blue to add a  dusky shimmer to the background.  I also made use of some Tattered Lace Halloween die cuts in my stash to embellish my tags.


My third tag was stamped in sepia versafine ink. I bought some wool from a charity shop last year and thought that it would come in handy for projects like this. 

I think this is such a cool stamp and one that you can adapt in many ways for your crafting and not just for Halloween and have been looking forward to using this one.

Another week is nearly coming to an end already and the days are starting to get shorter too!
Have a good rest of the week!

Happy crafting
