I have been such a really bad blogger lately, somehow it's five weeks since I last posted anything, so the return of
Grungy Monday, which is inspired by all things
Tim Holtz, was perfect to kick start me into making some art.
I've made a tag which I'm can enter both in the Grungy Monday Challenge, which is all about a Holtzian Halloween, and
Simon Say Stamp and Show Things With Wings. Actually I think I can also enter this in Hel's Sunday Stamper Challenge which is Blue and Orange, as there is the teensiest amount of blue in the poison phial
The tag is coloured with a sploosh of Barn Door, Spiced Marmalade and Wild Honey Distress Ink, and the tree is one of my all-time favourite Tim stamps, stamped in Black Soot DI. The birds are stamped and embossed with black embossing powder to make them stand out a little bit, and I've tried to make my Halloween ticket look suitably grungy, on some Kraft cardstock.
The spooky sisters are an Artchix image , as is the Gothic Arch
The tag is finished off with a tiny glass phial coloured with a poisonous looking blue Alcohol Ink, some German scrap. and some ribbon that I've dyed using Black Soot DI.

Welcome back - back with a bang! Or a "boooo" maybe given the theme.
This is a fabulous tag. Love it all and the lace around the edge is just perfect.

Hi Suzie. I love your Halloween tag!! It's amazing! I LOVE the vintage ladies with the wings. So eerie and spooky, but way cool! Love the arch over them. It's perfect for the Tim stamp of the old tree in the background and the black birds flying. Really cool tag! Thanks for sharing your art with us at Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge. <3 Candy
