Took me awhile to create this Oct Tim Holtz Tag with lots of detail. Got my fingers inky. Glad I was able to finish it in time for Halloween.
Used mostly TH products. Did not have the embossing folder TH used but thought the Cuttlebug Diamond Plate gave the TH Monster a good dimension look. Did not have a TH black Distress Crayon so I used 2 of the TH Distress Crayons I did have. TH used a spider & metal sentiment that I did not have. I used a TH stamp. Added black sparkly ribbon.

Halloween 2016 pumpkins (styrofoam): Howling At The Moon scene (tall black pumpkin), BB8 (white pumpkin, hubby drilled holes where the light bulbs are placed in left & right round pieces) & Edward Scissorhands (tall orange pumpkin, I'm a Johnny Depp fan).
Used a black styrofoam pumpkin (was formerly one that had Pirate Ship Black Pearl carved on front and over time the carved piece broke off/caved in) for this scene inside of a styrofoam pumpkin. Hubby had seen a wolf scene on Internet and we decided to create one of our own. Hubby wrapped some wire in a circle and wrapped the mini battery operated lights around the wire.
