Halloween it's a small step away but i'm sure many of you who celebrate will have Fancy dress party's this weekend if not already attended. Judging by the amount of fireworks around here I think my neighbours are all partied out now.
On that note i'm sharing my October Tag: Carving Time using those same prompts that
i've been bringing to you each month with the courtesy of Chris.

Here is my October Tag: Carving Time
Covering a Tando long tag in black gesso I painted over it with Burning Bonfire
IndigoBlu paint. When dry I dragged Yellow Meringue paint across the top.

Clear 3D gloss has been pushed through a tree stencil from imagination crafts.
Short threads from my scrap stash have been applied using matt medium.
A layer of Orange Shimmer paint was painted on top with Antique Gold
Multi Surface paint flicked on to the dry surface.
Using the same Tree stencil I applied Black Gesso through it and covered in a coating of clear Gesso. As you may be able to see because the Black Gesso was not quite dry and it smudged the tree's but I do think it adds a little atmosphere.
Birds from Rubber Dance were stamped with archival ink.
The sweet pumpkin image was sent to me by Pat (Thank You)
and perfect for this tag. Glued to the tag I added some doodles with a Posca pen
and enhanced the darker areas of the pumpkins with a black Biro pushing a little
harder than normal to created an impression.
Distress glitter and gems help to enhance the pumpkins with the Tim Holtz words
*Carving Time * adding a sinister twist to my finished Tag.
Colour coordinating Ribbon, cord and orange beads completes my October Tag..
Apologies for the last photograph as it doesn't do those wee pumpkins justice
but I seem to have mislaid my camera under the frenzy of my Christmas card making.
Enjoy your Sunday everyone.
