Another Sunday, another Sunday Stamper challenge - based on Puppet on a String - which is to use string in your project somewhere.
Some time ago I decided that from now on all the challenges I enter will be Christmas cards in the making so I can get ahead - oh well, that worked then!
I tied some string round the tag in a criss-cross pattern and sprayed it with the craftynotions Black Star Copper spray and dried it before removing the string.
I took my brand new (arrived on Friday) Halloween texture fade embossed it on a plain piece of cardstock, then inked the skeleton and web in black soot, the 31 in rusty hinge before cutting out and adding to the tag, did the same for the cat but added some black gel pen to make him a bit shiny. Tied some raffia like string through the tag.

Great tag Helen. I went to my local lumber store and got a whole 2 x 4 and had them cut it into 2 1/2" pieces and got a whole bag full of chunkies for under $4.00.
