Teresa's Scraps of Joy: "Haunted Hallows" Tag for Create Exchange September Tag Swap

Hey y'all! I am so excited to post a tag that I created for my very first tag swap. I titled the tag "Haunted Hallows". I started with a #8 tag made from medium weight chip board. I then found a picture online of a "haunted" looking forest and printed the photo on tissue paper and allowed the ink to thoroughly dry. Next, I adhered the tissue paper to the tag using Liquitex Gel Medium and dried it using my heat tool. Once the tissue paper was dry I sprayed the tag with my Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Sprays.

For the ghostly woman, I knew that I wanted a skeletonesque Victorian woman to go on my tag; therefore, I decided to use Photoshop and I found three different images and made them into one. I then printed her on vellum paper to give her that ghostly appearance.

The gate is made up of a chipboard piece that was cute in half and distressed to make it appear old. I then painted it with black and brown acrylic paint and applied texture paste in random places. Once that was dry I then painted over it again with the black and finally applied Distress embossing powder in Vintage Photo to mimic the detail of rust.

Lastly, I painted the flowers with black paint and then applied Stardust Stickles topped with Lavender Ultra Fine glitter.
