Stamper's Anonymous Halloween 2020 - If I Play Dead

Happy September everyone! August flew by so fast for me. Today, I have my third card using Tim Holtz's new Halloween stamps from Stamper's Anonymous, and this one was so fun to make and easy too. It was made with the Examination, Anatomy Chart, and Snarky Cats Halloween Sets. Enjoy!

Ink tag with Antique Linen and Pumice Stone Distress Inks with an Ink Blending Tool (I made two cards, so I doubled everything). Mist with water to water mark. Apply same inks plus Gathered Twigs to the silicone mat, and pick up with a water brush and tap it over the tag to create droplets of color. Dry. Trim 1/2 inch off bottom of tag and set this aside for the sentiment. 

Stamp images from Examination and Anatomy Chart randomly on the tag using different colors of Archival Ink...Peeled Paint, Black Soot, Dusty Concord, and Spiced Marmalade. Ink edges of tag with Pumice Stone Distress Ink. Mount tag on purple cardstock, punch hole, and add string. Set aside.

Cut paper from Abandoned to 3 3/4 x 6 3/4. Ink over it in Spiced Marmalade, Peeled Paint, and Dusty Concord Archival. Notice the circular floral design on the Adandoned Paper??? One of new backgrounds on the Renaissance Set looks a lot like it, fyi.

Lay Script Stencil over Abandoned paper and use Black Soot to stencil in the design with an Ink Blending Tool. Mount on black cardstock and distress edges. Mount on 4 x 7 kraft card. Then mount tag on card slightly turned to left.

Stamp sentiment on tag remnant, ink edges in Pumice Stone Distress, and mount on green cardstock. Adhere to bottom left corner of card.

Stamp skull and hand on heavy stock, cut out and ink edges with Antique Linen Distress. Use an Antique Linen Distress Marker to trace around lines and knuckles. Apply foam tape and Collage Medium to both and adhere to tag to make it look like the skeleton is grabbing the card with fingers propped up and coming from behind.
