Somehow I found time to play with Tim's August 2016 tag. I am trying to get in the fall mood, but still thinking summer. So I mixed blue and orange, which to me remind me of summer and fall. Ha!
My brayering was strange and I used a lot of sponging in Blueprint Sketch to cover it, but liked that it still showed, especially with the water flicking. I embossed my trellis die in Tea Stain Distress Embossing Powder. The sentiment is like the fall season, sometimes it is necessary for things to die off for new life to form. "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." Ecc. 3:1
I made a whole sheet of inky paper with a file folder so I could cut tons and tons of leaves, making this a super quick project. I don't have Tim's pine cone die, but used a real one from a very special Girl Scouts trip. <3
I'm sharing with:
Wowzer, Autumn--this is one stunning tag! Wonderful color combo & love your bouquet of leaves with the special pine cone!
