Once again Leigh is hosting a Halfway to Halloween Blog Hop - find more details here...
First of all today I would like to reshare a tag I made for the Dark Valentine hop in February.
I started with a MDF tag which I layered with a piece of black card and then a piece of eco paper a friend had sent me. I had punched the corners of this and punched a heart shape to let in the shaker thing.
I added beads to the shaker, distressed round the edges with Black Soot and then added the metal embellishments and the gold roses. I added the verse, printed on some Fabscraps paper and again distressed around the edges with Black Soot.
Finally I added the string with two more beads.
The verse is
Written by Mary Elizabeth Frye in the 1930s.

“Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.”

But today is ATCoin Day - and I have a few to share with you!
On the front you can see a coin with Leigh's Tangled Witch's hat.
The next one uses Creepy Cute Sad Bunny on Skull from Oddball Art Co Stamps.
I added colour with Copic markers.
It features an embossed background with added Distress Ink to emphasise the texture.
These are some I made during 31 Days of Halloween last year:

You can also see a Rick St Dennis image and two with Hellgnomes Death Digi's Yarrr, coloured with Copics and cut out.
Most of them have a circle of marbling over a scrap of card...

My final two use Leigh's MerWitch which I coloured with a number of Copic markers and real brush pens. I then used a 2.25 inch punch to cut two sections.
I distressed these round the edges with Peacock feathers and placed the circles on 2.5 inch circles of scraps from my stash, distressed with Stormy skies.
Finally I added a scattering of pearls.

I will link these to the May 27 Post.
I just went over to Leigh's blog and saw that Val had a very similar idea to me!!
Happy Hopping!
