I know I'm a month early but I really look forward to Halloween! I love skulls and things with a Gothic feel!
This is a tag I made for Efemera's Tag challenge with some step by step instructions!
You will need:-
Manilla Tag
Distress Ink - Antique Linen
Black Ink Pad (Memento or Versafine)
Stickles Black Glitter
Lost Coast Winged Skull stamp
Embellishments.
First of all I laid a mask over the tag and rubbed Antique Linen Distress Ink all over.
Next stamp the Winged Skull image TWICE onto white cardstock.
Cut the WHOLE image out and age by rubbing some Distress Ink onto it.
Put this to one side.
NEXT the second stamped image but this time cut out JUST the skull.
Rub on some Distress Ink (Antique Linen) to age it and set it to one side.
Now to construct the tag.
I used a page from a old book.
I matted it onto some dark cardstock and added it to the middle of the tag.
Then I added the Winged Skull image to the tag.
I then used some silicon glue (or foam pads) to add the stamped Skull to the tag so it was raised up:
I added some Gothic looking borders and cut a Gothic style letter 'G' using my Slice:
I then added the 'G' to the tag and glittered it with black Stickles glue:
and this is the finished Tag:
Happy Crafting Everyone!

Uh oh Katie, now I need to buy masks do I?
I love this tag, love making tags too, but never know what to do with them after. Don't suppose you could do a 'what to do with tags?' post one day? ;)
