Happy nearly Halloween for our Country View Crafts October challenge

 Hello everyone, it's time for my second blogged design team make for our October Country View Crafts challenge hosted over on Facebook. You don't need a blog or an Instagram account, just head over to the group and join in with the fun! The link is Here and if you are not already a member just request to join and we will warmly welcome you. It is also be a place you can be the first to hear about workshops, the latest releases etc etc. We have a happy membership of over 350 crafters and we are growing every day. You can enter the challenges up to 5 times as you like as long as you use products or brands which are stocked on the Country View Website.

The theme for October is "Halloween" so we would like to see all your spooky makes. You still have 5 days left to join in. I love Halloween crafting and each year make 6 Halloween tags to add to the little Halloween gifts I give to my kids and grandkids.

Obviously my go to products to reach for are from my Tim Holtz stash. This man has so many amazing products to choose from and CVC stocks loads.

This is my next tag;

 I blended a distress ink background onto a tag using black soot, mustard seed and lumberjack plaid distress ink and adding some drips of water using my distress sprayer and dried it with my heat gun.

I die cut a moon and some bats using my Moonlight die set.

I found one of my inked Cathedral die cuts and chose a spooky paper doll couple.

 

I added a few more elements including the stamped Happy Halloween and put my tag together. 

Here it is once more.

I hope I might have inspired you to give our October "Halloween" challenge a go. There is a fab prize up for grabs too for one randomly selected and you can enter up to 5 times!

Remember you can find me most days over on Instagram Here @jane.tyrrell where I share many, many more makes then I have the time to blog.
