We were in a gift shop in Savannah, GA and I saw this quote on a book "If your Dreams Don't Scare You, They Aren't Big Enough!" Honestly, the statement is so true. The goals in my life where I had to overcome the fear of something, have been my most rewarding achievements.
I also recently purchased a few feather molds. I shared, a few weeks back, my collection of feather clay pieces on Instagram/Facebook. The quote reminded me of the feathers, and inspired the theme of the tag.
Those who follow me, also know, I'm not a huge Halloween fan. However, in the spirit of the season, I decided to keep my tag along the "nightmare" gothic/dark side. Since the quote uses the words scare and dream, I felt that this would make a perfect theme.
Purple is not usually my first color choice, but this year I have really been drawn to the color. I decided to keep my tag's colors simple with tones of purple, black and gold. All perfect for night and Halloween! I used the new Steampunk Gelatos® set from Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft® Black Cherry and the Black Licorice Gelatos® to color the base of the tag.
Here is a glimpse at my finished tag.
I have also prepared a process video showing you how I created the tag.
I hope you have enjoyed my tag. Thanks for stopping in today,
Tonya Gibbs
