I don't really like fall because it means winter is right around the corner. But, I do love the beauty of the architecture and color of fall leaves. I can't wait to look at everyone's tags!
For my tag, I colored photo paper by first stamping the paper with alcohol ink & just a drop of gold metallic mixative. I then applied Blending solution to my ink applicator and stamped over the the paper again. I stamped the now seasonal paper with leaf stamps and cut out the leaves. Next, I embossed the tag background with clear embossing powder over a stencil of bare trees. I rubbed stamp ink over the embossing to show the dimension and to give it a bit of color. I attached the leaves to the background with glue and foam tape to give it a layering effect. I used some very fine wire to attach the two leaves that are "falling" off of the tag. I realized I had forgotten to stamp the words "falling leaves" on the background and since my leaves were attached, it made it hard to try to stamp, so I just wrote "leaves" on the tag. While I liked the way my tag turned out, it didn't photograph well.
Wishing you all a creative week!
Best, Mary Ann
