Every so often we find ourselves with a fifth Friday and that means a tag party at A Vintage Journey! My teammates have the most wonderful array of tag designs to share with you, so come on over and join the party!
As I told you yesterday, I'm still clinging to the last days of summer. I wanted my tag to have the feel of the last moments before the colors and winds change. I added crackle paste to the perimeter of my tag then glued on my die cut border. I scraped the die and center with more crackle paste, to act as a resist.
I dipped my panel in Frayed Burlap and sponged with Bundled Sage, then added Lemoncello Infusions, spritzing with water and letting the colors puddle in the die cut.
I stamped my foliage first in brown, then in black and stamped a brown dotty texture all over.
I added a handmade flower and three large leaves from the Tattered Leaves set, with hand painted veins. I dyed my ribbon to match, added a sentiment, charm, and cheesecloth and called it quits. It's very rugged and earthy, just like these fleeting days...
I'm also sharing with:
So, so lovely Autumn, I really like all the details of the tag and the way you have layered all the elements. Hugs, S@ndy

ReplyDeleteYour beautiful layered background is just so full of wonderful texture Autumn! I love the leaves and flower you created and the dyed ribbon is stunning atop! A wonderful way to celebrate the (nearly) end of Summer and beginning of Autumn... Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous, Autumn - this has exactly that bitter-sweet melancholy of this time of year, and the subtle crackle works beautifully in the background.

Just gorgeous Autumn! Love your choice of color & elements! You sure know how to put elements together to create beautiful works of art!!
ReplyDeleteLovely colour tones and layers coupled with the delicate crackle make for such a gorgeous tag! Autumn x
ReplyDeleteWell, you absolutely ailed the last days of summer feel with this tag! Looking at your tag I was thinking of the crops around us that have all turned glorious shades of gold and soft yellow,the last to be harvested.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful layering and I just love the Autumn Blessings and little leaf at the top!
Blessings to you my friend!
