Halloween Chalkboard Tags .....{TKJ}

Good Morning and Happy Monday everyone!!!
It is time for a new challenge over at
And this week the challenge is:
Discover Something New

Such a fun challenge because I don't know about you but I am always looking for a new technique or a new tutorial that I want to try. I have a HUGE bookmarked list of all of them so I can cross one off now with my project I have to share with you today. 
I have watched people post these awesome Chalkboard technique projects and wanted to give this a try. Well after watching this GREAT video over at Splitcoaststampers HERE,  these are what I came up with. I sure hope you like my Halloween tags. They were a BLAST to make and put together, so I highly recommend you all to give this a try!!!

So this is how I made them. 
I started out with some blank Blackboard Tags and using some adorable Halloween stamps I picked up at Micheal's in the dollar bin last year, I heat embossed them using Creative Inspirations Paint Deliquesce White Embossing Powder. Then using a white prismacolor pencil I added some details to each of the tags around the border in a decorative pattern. Now for the fun part....I used a makeup sponge and some white pigment ink and went about giving the tags the chalkboard look. The great thing about this technique is that there is no wrong way to do it and you can add as much or as little color to the paper as you want to get the desired look. Then to finish the tags off I added some Orange Hemp Cording . I couldn't leave the tags as is, so I decorated some Small Glassine Bags with a pieces of Black and White Polka Dot Washi Tape wrapped around the base of each bag.  To attach the tags to the bags I took some Tiny Wooden Clothespinsadded more of the Black and White Polka Dot Washi Tape and clipped them onto the bags.

 
So there you have it....
my inspiration for this week's challenge.
I hope you have enjoyed my card and will play along with us!
As always I have linked all the supplies I used from The Kraft Outlet throughout my description.  If you have not checked out the store yet....make sure you do! There is so much available, the prices are so reasonable and shipping is super fast!!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT Monday!!
