The stamps are from Oxford Impressions. The image is clear-embossed over an old book page, then covered with Ranger Distress Ink in black soot. A little trick I learned while doing this project was to use a gesso wash on the back first to keep the type from bleeding through from the other side. So cool! I burned the edges of the tag first to make it look even more spooky.

Ok. I know I've been a slacker for the past......... eight months!?!? A lot has been going on in my life. My 21-year old nephew died in March, so that has taken a toll on the ole creativity. I have done projects, but it seems to take a lot of effort to take the time to get things uploaded. Maybe now, I can keep up with my blog a little better. It's like a little flower... it should be tended and cultivated. Also, I told a friend the other day that I had a blog, so I figured I'd better get some things on here for her to look at! This was a tag I made for my recent stamp club meeting.
