Samhain

Did you know that Halloween has its roots in the Celtic lands and was a harvest festival? The Celtic festival of Samhain marks the end of summer so just to cheer us up, it is winter tomorrow.

This week's Craft Barn challenge theme is Halloween so I made a tag.



Ingredients used
Tim Holtz Stencil : Shatter
Stamps : Chocolate Baroque Witches Brew and Tim Holtz Bird Crazy
Wow Black embossing powder
Birds are coloured with Promarkers
TH Distress Ink : Pumice Stone and Hickory Smoke

Happy Halloween/Samhain everybody x
