I made a Halloween tag this week with a haunted house and lots of texture. There is also some heat embossing and a fun night-time inky sky.

Start by white embossing a spider web and a spider on a tag. Ink with various Distress Inks.

Ink the ground with Hickory Smoke and emboss with clear embossing powder. The shiny, almost icy, ground gives a nice contrast to the sky.

This becomes old and dirty windows. I also added some mummy cloth curtains.

Color the door and add details with a black marker. Stamp here and there with one of the texture stamps from Simon Says Stamp All Seasons Tree. This is meant to be a leaf stamp, but it works for many other things too.

I also die cut some bats using the Halloween Vaults set. Tie a piece of folded over Design Tape to the top of the tag.

The roofs have a cool metallic texture.

I adhered the house with foam tape, for dimension. And of course it also has a street number.

I like that you can see a hint of the curtains.
