Pumpkin Window Tag

Hello friends! We had a lovely weekend here with a nice outing in beautiful autumn weather. And then some crafting yesterday.

Our theme is Halloween/Spooky this week at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. Don't miss the project by our October guest designer Fiona Whitehead.

I made a tag with a group of spooky pumpkins sitting on a window sill. The background is clear embossed and then inked, for a resist effect. There is acetate in the window instead of glass. 

Stamp Tim Holtz Pumpkinhead on watercolor paper.

Smear Distress Ink on a non-stick craft sheet and mist with water. Pick up with a paint brush and watercolor the pumpkins. Leave some of the white paper showing for highlights.

I used a Tim Holtz Halloween Baseboard for the window, combined with a piece of acetate. Color the acetate with alcohol ink and add lace trim for a curtain.

The background was clear embossed with Tim Holtz Skulls & Cobwebs.

Ink with Distress Ink and then spritz with Wilted Violent Distress Spritz.

Here you can see the effect of the Distress Spritz. The ribbons were dyed with Distress Ink to match the tag. I also found a Tim Holtz acetate bat. The gems are Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Dazzling Rainbow Gems. The stamped sentiments are from Tim Holtz Spooky Spirits.

Sand and ink the edges of the window. The background looks like wallpaper through the window, but with the added touch of the alcohol ink.

Cut out the pumpkins or use the Simon Says Stamp coordinating Pumpkinhead dies. Shape with Tim Holtz Shaping Tool kit and adhere with several layers of Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Perfect Foam Tape. I also used orange leaves due cut with Simon Says Stamp Lively Leaf Corner. 

There is also a piece of mummy cloth under the pumpkins, and gems tucked in here and there. 

The project can easily be turned into a card instead, if you don't want to make a tag.
