Well the sun shone today and we had a beautiful warm afternoon, just like yesterday but the rain has set in this evening, I'm glad I'm tucked up warm indoors.
I loved making this tag because it includes some simple stamping and then embellishing, two of the things I really like doing.

This uses mostly Artistic Outpost Gothic 1 plate stamps for the main images apart from the crow which is from the Tim Holtz mini halloween set.
This spooky lady has been given an orange gem for her eye, she looks very medieval (not evil) in a way. Ken says she looks more like Queen Borg (Star Trek), as I don’t watch it, I can’t comment on that. I love the frame around her, I seem to have a thing about frames at the moment.
The top of the tag has some twirly wire (cut from the flowers at the bottom – waste not, want not as they say) and also one of Tim’s wishbones with Onyxite treasure gold over it. Ken kindly drilled a hole in it so I could hang it (a trick learned from Tim on the workshop day in August).
Finished at the bottom with flowers, metal leaves, green feathers and some green twine.
I do like making things for halloween, I don’t know why because I don’t really decorate the house or anything.
It's Halloween! It's Halloween!
The moon is full and bright
And we shall see what can't be seen
On any other night.
Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls,
Grinning goblins fighting duels,
Werewolves rising from their tombs,
Witches on their magic brooms.
In masks and gown we haunt the street
And knock on doors for trick or treat.
Tonight we are the king and queen,
For oh tonight it's Halloween!

Oh it is scary all right, but lovely too! Great looking elements, have to say that raven is my favourite, though I love the touch of the orange eye on the medieval (or star trek, - don't watch it either)lady. Great embellishments too and I love the subtle spider webs in the background!
Fabulous! She is very scary indeed lol.
That wishbone charm is a cute (did I say cute in reference to Halloween?!!!) addition.

That eye surely makes her spooky Brenda, and then the raven makes it very scary indeed! I love the frame too and the wishbone is wonderful! Very handy having Ken about - lucky you! Nicola x
Too funny "Queen Borg." Like Ken, Steve is a huge Star Trek fan! Wonderful Halloween tag and her blingy orange eye is awesome! Love the pretty floral touch. Hope you have a warm day, hugs!

Wonderful tag Brenda but one has to be amused with the addition of the wish bone.

Scary as well as beautiful. Great stamps, especially the cameo 'Lady'.

Brenda, this is a fabulous tag! I love the image. And yes, I can see a bit of Borg in her. :). It's wonderful!
Fabulous tag and yes those embellishments are quite scary!
Wonderful tag, Brenda!
Delicious spooky tag with fabulous stamping - the cobwebby background images look so cool - and brilliant detailing: the tiny amber eye, the gorgeous autumnal flowers, the distressing on the greeting - altogether fantastic!
