12 Tags of 2013- October!

hello everyone!! So I'm not going to lie I struggled a little bit with this months tag.. I couldn't get the products I had to "work" with Tim's techniques. After I tried a lot of different ways to make all the cool glittered pieces work.. I couldn't get it to look quite right... so I " improvised" I needed to get a tag up this month and with one day left in October I'm finally getting it up! so here we go... my Halloween tag!

 

So as you can see I used to "funky" items that I don't normally use in my daily use haha

 

for the background I went with the old fashioned distress ink in Dusty concord, iced spruce and black soot

 

I then glued on some letters from idea-ology along the left side of the tag

 

 

 

then I took a tiny glass bottle from idea-ology and I put some clear glue in the bottle. then I added some green alcohol ink. the alcohol ink does not want to blend in with the glue so it made a cool slimy affect. I also put a scoop of the black soot distress glitter in there to make it speckled.. I turned out pretty cool  and disgusting looking at the same time.. but what is better for Halloween

 

 

I just added some more embellishments to the tag and then I was done with a tag I actually liked haha

 

I attempted to make my tag with all the glittered pieces like Tim's, but I just couldn't get it to work.. I was a little bumbed but I think this tag looks great too!

Here's some more pictures

 

 

 

 

ok so I hope you guys enjoyed!! make sure you have a great Halloween filled with lots of family and friends and of course.. crafting!!

thanks for everything and sorry again about putting this up last minute!! I promise to have the November one up sooner!

Hello everyone!! I finally got around to uploading my next tag of the month! mine has been finished for awhile and I'm super excited to finally get around to showing everyone:) My inspiration for this tag was obviously Tim's beautiful tag, but I also got a new stamp set, and I wanted to use them:) as always.. I'm a very happy girl when I get to use a bunch of bright colors:) I love making tags rainbow colored! so here is my tag

 

If you like this tag, and would like to know a little about how I made this.. just read below!!

 

 

I started with some clear embossing powder with a poka dot stamp on a blank manila tag. I stamped the stamp in the top right corner and the bottom left corner. then I heated it up so that it would stick to the tag.

 

after that, I added my distress ink colors

 

 

I used squeezed lemonade, picked raspberry, salty ocean and spiced marmalade ( distress stain )

 

 

 

I then added some chit-chat words

 

then I embellished with a metal key and some crinkle ribbon that Inked with the same colors I used on the actual tag, and a stamp. just like that I was done:)!! here's some extra pictures

 

 

thank you guys for reading!! I hope you enjoyed this months tag and I cant wait to check out everyone else's tag! enjoy the rest of your month!! ( I cant believe it is almost fall! this year has flown by!!)
