Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2012 (October)

Here is this month's tag for October. Once again I used all Stampin' Up! products with a little help from my Silhouette. I started with Ghostly Greetings designer series paper and distressed the edges. I then copied Newsprint DSP onto tissue paper and adhered it with mono multi liquid glue. Next I sponged on pumpkin pie and lucky limeaid inks. I embossed both the spider and the text with black and hologram highlights embossing powders. The tags are from the It's A Date stamp set and the speckles in the background were created using the Wonderfully Worn stamp set.

Kissing Technique Swap

Here is this month's card swap.  I used the kissing technique on the circles behind the mummy and coordinated the inks on the circles with the paper in the background.  

Googly Ghouls - Halloween Card 1

Here's the first in a series of cards that I made using the mummy from the Googly Ghouls stamp set.  I used mostly scraps and added texture to the pumpkin cardstock using a texture plate; different from an embossing folder.  If you're interested in getting more texture out of your texture plate you should watch this video for a great tip.
