As it's getting close to Halloween and I just love Halloween I chose this fabulous excavation skull to work with.
I can't say how much I love this digi stamp just perfect for Halloween.
I used grey marker pens to shade in some areas of the skull and distressed around the edges

I made my own tag base and Matt layer out of create and crafts new Core card and paper collection. The card is just lovely to work with and cuts perfectly with dies, you can even stamp, emboss and colour with it. The card I used has a linen texture , fab quality. You can see their new collection here:

The card the skull is matted onto was cut with a tattered lace die cut. Flowers from tattered lace dies and the flourishes from Crafters companion.
The spooky house is a stamp from Hunkydory for the love of stamps set. I distressed some card with creative expressions pumpkin colour ink and then stamped onto it and cut it out.
The broomstick I made myself out of an old paintbrush handle and used twine to wrap around several times and snip of as required. I then got some raffier to tie around the top. Lastly I coloured the twine with a brown alcohol pen from spectrum noir
I know Halloween isn't everyone's cup of tea but I just love this tag, the texture and colour draws the eye to the skull which is just awesome!
Thanks so much for stopping by and looking and I look forward to seeing your beautiful cards in the challenge
Bye for now

Hi Sharon,

Love this fantastic design.
that image is fab and the die cuts look so super.
Beautiful idea the brush is and the stamped house finishes it all off perfectly.
Hope you shoulders are better now.
I thnk mine came out in sypathy with yours as I was having lots of troubles with mine too, and couldn't use the mouse again this last week because of the pain it caused.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
