Starting early on this month's 12 Tags of 2013. Have you seen the tag for September yet? It uses two of my favorite products...stencils and embossing paste! I love all of the colors and the layers, and am glad to finally get tag done before the last day of the month. This month Ranger also announced Distress Paints in a perfect fall palette: Ripe Persimmon, Scattered Straw, Crushed Olive, Dusty Concord, Pumice Stone and Gathered Twigs. They are having a giveaway and all you have to do is enter your project made with these colors. So I pulled out my Distress Inks and made a fun Halloween tag.
I love how the embossing paste looks peeking through all these fun colors:
And the great effect that you get by layering all the stencils:
But my favorite part of the tag this month was the ribbon. I used the eye chart and the dot fade stencils to make mine. I can definitely see making more of this ribbon to decorate Halloween treats:
I was lucky enough to get my hands on all of Tim's new stencils and will be back later this week to share some cards with a few of the fun background combos (and cards) that I've made with the stencils so far.

You are so channeling Tim with this great tag, Cheiron! I love the layers and the warmth. I need to get pasty, I guess. This is a treasure!

Love your Halloween theme Chieron. We used the same Dot fades stencil! I think it gives a retro vibe to the ribbon.
