Mixed Media Tag Tutorial Revisited – Boo Witch – Halloween Tag

Here is a video of how I made a mixed media tag with a sweet little witch.

A tag like this is great to fix on a Halloween gift, or as an embellishment on a greetings card.  Or you could just hang it up as a decoration (which is what I did).

I was still very much learning about shooting craft videos, and how to use my editing software, when this was filmed. I was also still rather nervous about talking on camera, and tend to twitter on a bit.

What I used in the video:

• “Little Girl” Julie Nutting rubber stamp from Prima Marketing
• Friskars Stamp Press
• Mememto “Tuxedo Black” dye ink
• Neenah “Classic Crest” card – 216gsm
• “The Pocket full of Posies” paper stack from Die Cuts With a View

• Pitt “big brush” markers by Faber Castell – “Caput Mortuum” (chocolate brown)
• Halloween die from Cuttlebug

I am entered my tag into the October Mixed Media Monthly Challenge. The challenge is to create something using a word from their wordsearch. I am using.. WITCH and PURPLE.

I also entered the tag into the Tim Holtz Monthly 12 Tags of 2015.
