After much consideration I have reverted to my love of tags and all things dark for this challenge after finding a quote 'Life's true face is the skull' by Nikos Kazantzakis online. I cut the tag in white card stock using the Tim Holtz die and coloured using the Tim Holtz brushed corduroy distress ink and then edged with gathered twigs and black soot before dropping water onto the tag to remove some of the ink. Next using Tim Holtz stamps I added 4 skulls and then a crackle background. I stamped one more skull onto white card stock, cut out and then covered with Tim Holtz rock candy distress paint. I wrote the quote onto white card stock and backed onto black card stock. I attached the skull and the quote using double sided foam and added a black ribbon was attached.

Firstly Tracey,a big thank you for all the wonderful things you have made during the last month as guest designer at the Hatters--we loved having you.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful take on the faces theme and it is right the skull does portray the face which why they can do reconstructions by building up old skulls
Great tag to make.
Love Chrissie xx
