Moonlight grave yard by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello everyone!!

Continuing on with my October vibe, is an art tag for this week...


As you know I absolutely love my mixed heavy stock paper. It can take the bombardment of liquids I throw at it and turns out great. This tag is a testament to that. I tend to keep adding sprays or paints, etc until I am happy with my project. I stamped the moon and then the tree stamp.

I started with two yellows and then dried it some and then continued with my dark colors..
You can see how wet this tag is in this pic. the next one will show after drying with heat tool.
I added more yellow down by the tree. I also added black for my clouds. adding sprays can lighten other colors you have down already- see my tree. But I am usually happy with the results. You can always go back in and repaint something that gets "bleached" out.
Once dry I went back and added to my tree branches and stamped the headstones.
I did walk away and let it dry through overnight. Things will lighten quite a bit by the next day.


You may want or need to go back in to darken some things up. I left mine as it was. I stamped the spiked fence on acetate and double stick tapped it on. I added the phrase using some TH stickers and that's it! Hope you enjoyed!
