The Apothecary

Hello all!  Hope you all survived All Hallow's Eve, and got treated rather than tricked!

I'm here today with a tag using the fabulous Apothecary stamp plate.
I love these images, and they do have a touch of Halloween about them, what with the Poison labels...
... the rather sinister Mr Forrest (what is he hiding behind that moustache?!)...
... and that looming drugstore image...
... so I added to the mood with some of the more sinister Idea-ology charms over a wrinkle-free distress background and some Gothic book print pages, and this was the end result.
I mounted the tag onto black card and added some Distress-Stained crinkle ribbon and a rather funereal black bow of paper string, and we're all done.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Don't forget there's a new Referral Program opened up for November, so do come and share your Artistic Outpost projects with us, and you could win a prize at the end of the month or be chosen as one of our Top Picks.  Hope to see you there!

Dear Alison,
He surely seems to hide something, that Mr. and there is something a bit creapy about his drugstore with mr.bone resting on the roof, wonderful!!
I love the nature colours used.
Dorthe, x

Beautiful stamping on this tag Alison, love how you layered up the elements. The torn book pages really add to the overall effect!
