Welcome to October and to another fun Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! Our theme this week is to "tag it". We're also featuring the products of Tim Holtz. I went with a Halloween scene and used some of Tim's older and newer stamp sets and dies.
While that dried, I cut out two rickety houses from Tim Holtz's Vault Ghost Town die set. I glued yellow paper behind the shapes to make it look like light was coming through the windows, then I dabbed on some yellow paint to give the light a fuzzy glow type of look. I also added some subtle shading to the houses using Distress Watercolor Pencils.
I decided to add a spiderweb to the background instead of a moon. The spiderweb is from Tim's Trick or Treat stamp set (an oldie but a goodie). I stamped it with Distress Embossing Ink, then heat embossed it with a heat tool and white embossing powder. I also added a bit of white to my houses to make them stand out from the dark background a little bit better. I also scribbled around the edge of the tag with a Distress Watercolor Pencil.
Next I stamped my sentiment, which came from Tim's stamp and stencil combo pack THMM194. I also cut out some bats from the Vault Moonlight Scare die set.
I glued everything together and my tag was complete!
