Skull with "glasses" tag

This one cracked me up. I put these little pale clear blue stones over the karen foster skull rub-it (transfer) and they looked to me like glasses, Lol I don't know what the official name is of these things, they're made by a company called "the Robin's Nest" and they are basically smooth tiny colored clear... pebbles. They're very cool, come in lots of colors

The skull, as mentioned, is a Karen Foster rub-on, the flowers are from a tiny cello pack sold at my LSS that didn't have any brand name on them, they're iridescent. I used mini brads in colors I tried to match, one is a glittered pale blue mini brad by ki memories (lab kits) and the other is lime green, and I think by Doodlebug Designs.

I used a Karen Foster ghost mini brad, as well, peeking out behind the reflective black punched out cardstock circle I used to pop out the skull rub-on. I used a large foam popdot to pop it out.

The "boo" is cut from silver metallic cardstock and cut with the "Katie" skinni mini QuicKutz alphabet dies. The tag is made with the Making Memories tagmaker, tag rim, and large circle tag punch.

The tag cardstock I used is the Doodlebug Designs Sugared Cardstock, in black. Finally I added (unknown brands) a sheer purple ribbon and sheer lime green ribbon.

I took the purple, which is much wider, and laid the green ribbon in the center of it. Then I adhered the bottom corners inward, folding them in, making a "V", basically, so the top would kind of... cradle the smaller ribbon.

Finally (again, hehe) I added an EK Success Precious Gem in very light purple, to the top of the light green ribbon.

I put a lot of work into this tag for the fact that I'm not too crazy about it! I couldn't seem to find my creative groove that day, but was willing to force it. I'm not totally unhappy with it, but it's just not one of my favorites
