Halloween Witch Hat Tag

Created this Clean & Simple (CAS) style Halloween Witch Hat Tag for next door neighbor girl. I always create special trick or treat bags for the next door neighbor boy & girl and now I have both done. I know the embossed 'CANDY' word is not exactly in the center but even with tape the Tim Holtz embossing diffuser moved. I'll practice some more but this one will suffice for the neighbor girl. CAS style is perfect because the tag will probably be thrown out anyway.

Used Autumn Celebrations Cricut cartridge. Embossed word 'CANDY' using Tim Holtz Halloween Background embossing folder and embossing diffuser. First time using the diffuser such that I used the oval piece to only get a portion embossed instead of excluding an area. Will practice more since this time even with tape the diffuser moved when I put it thru the Sizzix BIGkick. I need to try embossing with the TH Vagabond since I've only used it for die cutting. What I may do for other tags is emboss on cardstock & cut out the embossing and attach to tag; that way I only cut out the word(s) I want to attach to tag & can center it better. Added gems & ribbon. Oops, I forgot the ribbon thru the top part of tag.
