Tellens place

Well its wednesday and this is my project for TELLENS PLACE this week..... the challenge this week is to use a TAG.... you can just make a tag like i have or make something with a tag on it.
I have made a triptych tag.... plain black outside, held together by a chain and padlock..... open it and inside is.................... A creepy grave yard.... the wonderful she-devil is of cause a TELLENS PLACE digi image..... the spooky tree is STAMPITCRAZY http://stampitcrazy.blogspot.com/ and the grave stones are from THIRD COAST.

I brayered my background with 2 shades of blue and one of purple ink.

Stamped the tree scene in black and stamped just the branches across the top in places.
I stamped the grave stones/grass twice on to off cuts of the background and coloured with ink.

I printed out the she-devil and coloured her with watercolours.... then i cut all my stamped bits out and created my scene... i used foam pads on some bits to give depth.... i sponged black ink on everything to darken them to give the impression of night-time.... and sponged over the background as well.

When everything was 'together' i addsd high-lights with a chinese white pencil... i put 2 eyelets in the front... treaded a chain through and around, fastened with a small padlock... i put an eyelet in the top, threaded though the chain with the keys.... and YES the keys do reach the lock.... now they do... they didnt originally!

By the way, when closed this tag measures four and a half inches by three inches so its not very big!

I also made this for the challenge that dear Frankie at dragonsdreams set last week....
