In Moonshadow Glen … Where Magic Dwells

Hi everyone, having got into the Hallowe’en mood a couple of days ago I just couldn’t seem to help myself, so I made a Hallowe’en tag utilising a few older spooky stamps and a new-to-me AALL & Create tag set I have wanted for a while but finally purchased a couple of weeks ago in the sale.

Firstly I die cut a tag from white stamping card and the larger tag border from black card. Then I created the background on the white tag by sponging Russet Orange Elements ink over the whole tag. I created a moon with Graphite Elements and a circle mask, then stamped Hattie and the cauldron using Nocturne VFC. I added some Magical Mist using Summertime VFC,  the sentiment over the moon, and some grounding using Elements ink and a hill mask. I thought it still needed a little more, so I added the owl and branches plus a tiny cat. Finally I coloured Hattie’s dress, the swirling mist and the owl’s eyes with orange Sakura Sparkle  pen then matted the finished piece onto the larger black tag, punched a hole and threaded with sparkly black ribbon.

Here’s an angled pic to show the sparkle.

Stamps: Lavinia Hattie, Willow the Witch (cauldron), Magical Mist, Brodwin and Maylin, Tree Branch, Mini Jinx, Magic Dwells;

Media: Lavinia Elements inks (Russet Orange, Graphite); Versafine Clair (Nocturne, Summertime); Sakura Stardust pen (Orange); Posca pen (white);

Tools: AALL & Create die #27 Tag It Yourself; Lavinia acetate Hill and Circle masks.
