Sugar Skull Tag: Day 8 of 31 Days

Hello! Today I've got a tag to share with you. I used the Sugar Skull Cling set from Stampendous for it. I really like this particular Sugar Skull, and you will probably see it again later in the month.


I colored the stamped image with my Zig Clean Color Markers, and used the accompanying die to cut it out. I really like how this set has both stamps and dies included. Then I started to make my tag.


I used Distress Oxide inks on a plain manila tag from Staples. The colors are Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers, Lucky Clover, and Wilted Violet. I applied the inks with an Ink Blending Tool and then I misted them with water and dabbed up the excess to get variations of color. Then I stamped the "spooktacular" with VersaFine Ink. Next, I coated the whole tag with VersaMark ink and sprinkled on a layer of Chunky Clear Embossing Powder. I heat set it and then repeated it 2 more times. As you can see, it looks like rippled glass now.

I used On Point Glue from Imagine to adhere the skull to the tag. It's not to easy to attach things to melted embossing powder, so I typically like to use a we glue for that. I added some purple chiffon ribbon from Creative Impressions.

That's it for me today. Please be sure to visit the rest of the Wicked Bloggers, all listed below. Thanks for stopping by. Have a spooktacular day!

Echo Park Blog Hop with Imagine

Greetings! This is my second post for the day. This one is not part of the 31 Days of Halloween, but rather a super-duper blog hop that the Artists in Residence for Imagine are doing with Echo Park . So if you're here for my Day 7 project, please check out the post HERE . But before you do that, scroll on to check out this one. There are prizes up for grabs, so be sure to check out the Imagine Blog as well as the Echo Park Blogs for details. I created my background by applying Dandelion and Tangelo Memento Ink to my brayer. Then I sprayed it with Ink Potion No. 9 to help the colors blend and to act as an extender to keep the inks wet longer. After I rolled the colors out on to watercolor paper and let it dry, I stamped the lovely doily-like image from Echo Park's Simply Sweet Stamp Set with Grape Jelly Memento. I also received the super pretty Heart Doily Designer Die  which I used with a true purple cardstock. But it needed something....and in rolls the super fabul...
